Hong Kong - Cherie Chung has denied talk that she plans to marry a Singaporean businessman.

The former actress, whose husband Mike Chu died two years ago, was quoted as telling Apple Daily there was no new man in her life.

'There is no such person. I haven't thought about remarriage. I am not dating. This report could not be more false,' she said.

Her friend, actress Sylvia Chang, also said there was no truth in the report and it was not possible that Chung would wed next year.
