Pop star Lily Allen isn’t in a relationship with James Corden, star of BBC Three’s Gavin and Stacey, according to his co-star, Matthew Horne.

Allen and Corden have been romantically linked since the BAFTA winning comedy actor appeared on Allen’s chatshow earlier this year.

However, speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Horne said that the pair were just friends and that he “hasn't even kissed her”.

"For now. It could change, who knows? James probably wants it to change, but I know they haven't even kissed yet,” Horne explained.

Allen’s chatshow, Lily Allen and Friends, will return for a second series next year despite its initial mixed reception from critics.

Prior to the new series, the singer is expected to release her much anticipated second album.

Allen has already posted two demos from recording sessions on her Myspace for fans to listen to.
