William Shatner has denied reports that he almost died while undergoing hip replacement surgery.

It was claimed that the Star Trek actor suffered a heart complication under anesthetic during the operation at LA's Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre last month.

However, the 76-year-old dismissed the claims in a post on his website, writing: "I'm in absolute perfect health. I've never felt better in my life.

"Somebody made up an absolutely foolish story."
