'Neighbours' stars deny dating rumours

Neighbours stars Natalie Blair and David Hoflin have denied rumours that they were dating each other.

A recent report claimed that the pair, who play on-screen couple Carmella Cammeniti and Oliver Barnes on the Aussie soap, had dated briefly before deciding that they were not compatible.

However, Natalie - who has previously been romantically involved with former Home and Away actor Beau Brady - insisted that she has only been spending time with David as a friend.

"I've got to know my male friends more since breaking up with Beau, and yeah, I do see David," Natalie told TV Week. "We go out, but I don't consider myself in a relationship with anyone. I'll let you know if anything happens!"

David also denied the claims, insisting: "I have no idea where that came from!"
