Actor Peter Ritchie has denied reports going round that he is having an affair with petite actress Helen Asante.

“First of all, the first time in about 9 months I saw Helen was last Friday (Kairos Party Night). I have not had anything with her apart from friendship. She is my friend and that’s basically all to it. And wait, yeah we met as well at the Kid’s choice awards.

“Apart from those times, I hardly see her, I can’t really tell where all those rumors are coming from though but they’re untrue,’ he said in an interview with ghkwaku.com.

According to the actor, the closest they have ever gotten was when they both featured in Shirley Frimpong Manso’s Tenant.

He added: “The closest we’ve gotten was back on set on “tenant”, a Shirley Frimpong Manso production. On that particular production we used to shoot late in the nights and you know obviously how hard it is to get a taxi in Trassacco when it’s that late. Subsequently, I had to drop her off at her place and this was about 9 months ago.”

The two were recently pictured getting cozy at the City People Entertainment’s Birthday Party for actress ChiChi Neblett.
