The Pussycat Dolls have furiously dismissed rumours they are splitting up.

The sexy group's founder Robin Antin has revealed the members - Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton, Kimberly Wyatt and Jessica Sutta - are planning to record new material.

Robin wrote on her Twitter blog: "The Pussycat Dolls r NOT breaking up. and IF they ever were, u would hear it from ME 1st, NOT GOSSIP. Album number 3 on the way (sic)!"

Choreographer Robin founded the singing and dancing girl group in 1995.

It has been claimed the band members have been fighting constantly, with Nicole stealing the limelight and upsetting the other girls with her growing solo ambitions.

Although Robin is adamant the Pussycat Dolls are happy together, Ashley reportedly broke down in front of fans while she was in the UK and revealed the band have already parted ways.

As she fled from a London hotel, Ashley was tearfully quoted as telling one fan: "This is the last time we'll be in the UK as a band. We've broken up. We're sorry."

However, the group's spokesperson has denied Ashley made those comments, saying: "The girls are still together. They are currently in Beirut for a show."
