Mark Ronson has shrugged off reports that he is dating Amy Winehouse.

The music producer, currently enjoying success with his cover of The Smiths' 'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before' branded the reports "hysterical", and insisted there was no chance of the two getting together.

Media reports have suggested the pair got together after Ronson worked on the production of the singer's album Back To Black.

"It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," Ronson told Star magazine. "She calls me the big sister she never had! Amy makes a really nice meatball dinner. She's good at making Jewish mother food."
