Pop princess Kylie Minogue last night denied having an affair with a married man - saying the "speculation" was "offensive".
Minogue, 38, has been photographed in Chile with a movie producer whose wife is eight months pregnant. The star had been heartbroken following her split with French actor Olivier Martinez in February.
But Minogue said last night: "I have never been unfaithful to a partner and would find it completely immoral to be involved with a married man."
Minogue's spokesman Murray Chalmers said Alexander Dahm, 39, was simply a friend.
He said: "On her departure from Santiago, Chile, today, Kylie was shocked to see the over-reaction in the worldwide media to her spending time with a male friend and colleague.
"Kylie recently took time out from her busy recording schedule for a short break in South America.
"Whilst there, she met up with her friend, movie producer Mr Alexander Dahm, with whom she is discussing aspects of a potential film project. She found speculation in the press that she had been intruding upon an existing relationship particularly offensive."
He added: "Kylie is currently on her way to the US for further meetings about upcoming projects."
