Former X-Factor contestant Ruth Lorenzo has denied rumours she is currently dating her ex-boyfriend, JLS singer Oritse Williams.

The Spanish-born singer recently revealed to The Sun that she had an eight-month relationship with the boyband star following their appearance on the 2008 series.

However, the 30-year-old took to Twitter today to slam the newspaper for suggesting that the pair were now back together:

"How can words be twisted in such a way! U can say that u want to catch up with someone over dinner and all of the sudden u r dating! WOW!!!!"

Lorenzo, who releases her debut single, 'The Night,' on June 15, had previously told The Sun:

"We're going out to dinner this week and he's been texting me telling me I look sexy.

"I'll always love Oritsé - he's the kindest, sweetest man I've ever met."
