Dannii Minogue has denied she's dating fellow X Factor judge Simon Cowell.

Reports of a torrid affair between the pair surfaced after a photograph of the pair supposedly canoodling was published.

However, according to the singer the photograph was misleading - and she doesn't even fancy the pint-sized pop svengali.

She tells The Sun, "That picture looked so wrong but it wasn’t at all - we weren’t even holding hands. Simon was just stretching out his arms.

“Simon and I do flirt in a really fun way and I’m pretty tactile. We click and get on really well. But that man could flirt with a book, a wall, anything.

“I don’t fancy him and I don’t have a type I go for but I like a man who makes me laugh, who’s intelligent and speaks his mind."

Sounds like Simon to us!
