Whitney Houston rep denies illness rumours

A representative for Whitney Houston has denied rumours that the 'Million Dollar Bill' star is in ill health.

Recent reports claimed that the singer was in a fragile condition on her world tour, but a spokesperson called the stories "rubbish" and "ridiculous".

According to the National Enquirer, the 46-year-old was urged to postpone upcoming live dates after a string of health problems in recent months.

Whitney Houston recently added three further dates to her UK tour, which kicks off in Manchester on April 8.
