Taio Cruz Tickets

Taio Cruz has denied that he is dating Cheryl Cole just weeks after it emerged that they had been mixing business with pleasure.

The R&B singer is currently working on Cheryl's third studio album, and reports claimed that the late nights meant the two had begun getting close on a romantic level. However, Taio claims that is not the case and the two are only on working terms.

"Cheryl and I worked together in Los Angeles a few weeks ago - we got about three new songs done," he told MTV News. "I gave her one of my watches and took a photo of it, which seems to have spurred some strange rumours."

He added: "I really wish I was dating Cheryl Cole, but I'm not!"
