MEGAN NICHOLLS took to Twitter to deny rumours her jockey boyfriend Kevin Stott and Amo Racing had parted ways.
Stott has been in sensational form for football superagent Kia Joorabchian's racing outfit this season.
They nearly won the Derby on 66-1 outsider King Of Steel before that same combo landed the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot last month.
Stott, who was a promising footballer and had trials for Spurs, filled the void left by Rossa Ryan earlier this year after he and Amo split.
The Flat rider has banged in a mightily impressive 66 winners so far this season and amassed more than £1.5million in prize money.
So there was seemingly no reason for rumours of a split between Stott and Amo to surface online on Friday morning.
But one prominent Twitter account posted: "Breaking: Can confirm that Amo Racing and Kevin Stott have parted ways!"
Megan quoted the tweet and wrote in reply: "Gotta love a rumour on a Friday morning.
"I can confirm this is not true!"
Shortly after Meg posted that message Stott was jocked up on Joorabchian's Indestructible for Sunday's Prix Jean Prat in Deauville.

Megan, daughter of legendary jumps trainer Paul, is Kevin's agent so if anyone is in the know it would be her.
She has made a seamless transition from the jockey ranks to being an agent, while mixing that job with regular appearances on ITV and Racing TV.
Megan and Kevin recently enjoyed a sun-soaked holiday to Mykonos in Greece.
The loved-up couple, who got together in Dubai and recently moved into a new house, enjoyed some downtime before the Flat season kicks into overdrive again over the next few weeks.
And they can afford a few nice trips away.
Stott's earnings on the racecourse – of which he will keep a small percentage – are already his best ever, surpassing the £1,451,475 he made through all of last season.
And his current 16 per cent strike with winners matches his best ever.
