Steve-O denies dating 'Dancing' partner

Former Dancing With The Stars contestant Steve-O has laughed off speculation that he is romancing his professional partner.

Tabloid reports had suggested that the Jackass star and dancer Lacey Schwimmer had begun dating after meeting on the set of the ABC show.

Speaking to OK!, he insisted that there was "no truth" to the rumours, adding that they had a "brother/sister" relationship.

Steve-O and Schwimmer became the sixth couple to be voted off the reality show earlier this month after failing to impress the judges with their rumba.

The star recently confessed that he used to be a "cocaine-addicted clown" during an MTV documentary special called Steve O: Demise And Rise.
