Nicole Scherzinger has insisted she and Chris Brown are just good friends following those recent photos of the two getting close at a club.
Cosy photos of the pair emerged last month which appeared to show Nic kissing Chirs. Reps for Nicole insisted at the time it was a dodgy camera angle and nothing is going on.
Now Nicole has had her say, revealing that she's known Rihanna's man since he was a teenager.
The former Pussycat Dolls star, who is dating racing driver Lewis Hamilton, is adamant their relationship is purely platonic. She tells The Sun, "You are always going to have people saying something or having a picture. But it is complete dross (garbage) if you and your partner know what the truth is."
"Chris Brown and I are definitely just mates - I have known him since he was younger than 16. We were just talking. Even my mum said, 'I saw a picture of you'."
That's us told then!
The X Factor judge goes on to compare the controversy to a report earlier this year which suggested Lewis had been partying with a group of girls at his London hotel whilst she was back home in America:
"It's the same when Lewis had some random girls sitting in the lobby. Can't girls just be sitting in the lobby? Maybe they were going to the same party."
We bet Rihanna's happy to hear Nic's comments!
