Dame Elizabeth Taylor has denied that she is getting married for the ninth time.

The 78-year-old screen legend used Twitter to rubbish reports that she is to wed her manager Jason Winters, 49.

She tweeted: "The rumours regarding my engagement simply aren't true - Jason is my manager and dearest friend, I love him with all my heart."

The English-born Oscar winner has had seven husbands - she married Richard Burton, who she met on the set of Cleopatra, twice - and has tied the knot eight times.

Dame Elizabeth, who suffers from a painful curvature of the spine, split with her last husband, construction worker Larry Fortensky, in 1996.

Winters is known for running a showbusiness agency whose clients have included Janet Jackson, sister to Dame Elizabeth's late pop star friend Michael Jackson.
