Tracey Edmonds has denied claims that she is dating P. Diddy.

The ex-wife of actor Eddie Murphy was said to have told a newspaper that she had been on "three or four dates" with the hip-hop star. She was also quoted as saying that Diddy was the "funniest" man she had ever met.

However, a representative for Edmonds has insisted: "Tracey Edmonds never uttered the words quoted... The story is a complete fabrication."

Edmonds and Murphy split in January, just two weeks after their marriage.
