Kermit the Frog has denied reports that he's going out with the show's marketing executive, Denise.

The Muppet tweeted to confirm that he's dating again after he and Miss Piggy split up last month.

But Kermit said that he and Denise were "just good friends" and that he didn't have a "new girlfriend".

The new series of The Muppets starts this year on ABC in America with producers saying it will be aimed at an adult audience.

The rebooted docu-series, which looks at the Muppets' personal lives and relationships, premieres on ABC in the US on 22 September.

It'll be shown on Sky 1 in the UK from October.

In a statement published online last month, Kermit and Miss Piggy said they would continue to work together on The Muppets.

They released the same statements on their Twitter accounts explaining they had been "squabbling".

In the Muppets trailer released on YouTube, it appeared that Kermit was seeing Denise.

Miss Piggy is in a relationship with the actor Topher Grace.
