LeAnn Rimes has denied claims that she has had a breast enlargement.

The singer recently checked into hospital for an operation on a gashed leg, but some fans speculated that she had underwent cosmetic surgery in secret.

"There's this plastic surgery thing going around," she complained. "I'm afraid people are going: 'Did she get her boobs done? Did she get butt implants?'"

Rimes insisted that she had been told she needed surgery after her leg wound become infected.
