Model Shaiks off rumours

Shanina Shaik has denied she is dating *Justin Bieber *.

The Australian Victoria's Secret model was linked to the Canadian singer after they were spotted together on a yacht in Ibiza last month.

However, Shaik has completely ruled out anything romantic with the 20-year-old singer, insisting they have never regarded each other in that way.

"Justin Bieber and I are not dating, never have been," the 23-year-old said this week.

"Everything has just been taken out of context. I laughed when I saw the pictures, because all it was is that we were on the same boat. We're just friends, we really are, and that's it."

The model, who was in Perth earlier this year to attend Citigold Polo in the Valley in Swan Valley, first met Bieber in 2012 when he performed at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and spent time chatting to those involved backstage.
