Updated: 13:02, Sunday July 15, 2007
Lembit Opik has told Sky News he will not be marrying his Cheeky Girl girlfriend any time soon.
Lembit and Gabriela on SkyThe Liberal Democrat MP has been seeing Gabriela Irimia since dumping his weathergirl fiancee Sian Lloyd late last year.
He was asked about the future of the relationship on Sky's Sunday Live programme with Adam Boulton.
"The rumours of our engagement have been greatly exaggerated," he said.
He was responding to several newspapers trying to "marry him off" last week, he said.
Boulton then asked Gabriela - one half of the Cheeky Girls - if she would like to be married to the MP.
"He hasn't asked me but we do find the speculation very funny," she said.
The couple met at a fund-raiser for motor neurone disease sufferers.
They have continued to raise funds towards a £15m project to eradicate the disease, which claimed the life of Mr Opik's father.
The MP said he was keen to meet Gordon Brown to keep up the momentum of prime ministerial support for the charity's work.
