Aaron Carter denies Smirnoff romance

Aaron Carter has laughed off speculation that he is romancing his Dancing With The Stars partner Karina Smirnoff.

Reports had suggested that the pair had begun dating after Smirnoff split from fiancé and fellow dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy in September.

Speaking to OK, he said: "It's completely false. We're two people who like to be out and about.

"You would have seen us out already. We would have been caught. There's nothing going on!"

Smirnoff added: "We're doing the time without doing the crime!"

Carter recently joked that he had been "respectfully rejected" by Dancing star Chelsie Hightower after he admitted to having a crush on her.
