Tamsin Egerton

Tamsin Egerton

Tamsin Egerton has laughed off reports she is dating Ben Barnes, insisting the pair is just good friends.
 
The St Trinian’s star sparked rumors she and Barnes were a couple, after she visited him in Australia earlier this month (Sep09) as he filmed new movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
 
A source tells Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper, "Tamsin hooked up with Ben a couple of times and there was a lot of talk about how close they were."
 
But Egerton is adamant she is just pals with the 28 year old - and even tried to get him to go on a date with a friend of hers.
 
She tells the publication, "I tried to set him up with one of my friends once but he wouldn’t bite."

Barnes has returned to the Narnia franchise and reprised the role of Prince Caspian in the latest book to be adapted.

Despite mixed reviews from the critics the actor's latest film Dorian Gray has  opened at number three at the UK box office.
