Simon Cowell's fiancee has denied rumours that the couple have split.

Make up artist Mezhgan Hussainy said in an interview that although forced to spend time apart the pair still plan to marry.

"I still love him and he says he still loves me," Hussainy said. "We are still engaged - as far as I know."

Cowell proposed to Hussainy earlier this year, but has since spent much of his time in the UK while Mezhgan continues to work in LA.

"We've been apart for a while" Hussainy admitted. "Of course I miss him. It's not easy being apart and even one day apart is hard when you are in love."
