Sylvester Stallone has angrily denied his ex-fiancée Janice Dickinson's claims he injected her with steroids during their relationship.

The former supermodel, 52, famously dated the Rambo actor in the early 1990s, but split when Stallone found out Dickinson's newborn daughter Savannah wasn't his child.

On U.S. news show Red Eye earlier this week, Dickinson alleged she had seen Stallone doing steroids.

Broken romance: Dickinson and Stallone in happier days

She said: "He juiced me.

"I'd wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye - steroids, testosterone, all that stuff that people say [mimicking Stallone voice], 'Hey, it's not that good 'cause you get really big, you know what I mean?'"

Host Greg Gutfeld replied: "So that's an actual confirmation, though? You did see him juice?"

Dickinson answered: "I did confirm that, didn't I?"

When asked for comment, Stallone's representative told the New York Post: "Janice Dickinson lied about the origin of her child, and she's lying about this."

Referring to her relationship with Stallone in her autobiography No Lifeguard On Duty, Dickinson wrote: "In the space of a week, I had slept with three men - my then partner, film producer Michael Birnbaum; an abstract artist who was a close friend of Bette Midler (who introduced us); and Stallone.

"Things hadn't been going well with Michael for some time, and we split up later that week when I came clean about Stallone.

"But Sly didn't call, as I had expected him to, and a week later I discovered I was pregnant.

"I called Sly and went over to see him. We had supper and made love - he'd improved considerably since our brief debut. Then I told him I was pregnant.

"'How do you know it's not Michael Birnbaum's?' he asked.

"Well, I didn't - in fact, it could even have been the artist's - but in all honesty, deep down, I felt the child was Sly's..."

Wild: Dickinson is famous for her controversial comments

The couple stayed together during Dickinson's pregnancy, but after the arrival of her daughter Savannah, the truth about the girl's paternity came out.

"Six weeks after Savannah's birth in 1994, and with the help of Sly's exercise and vitamin regime, I got back in shape and walked down the catwalk for Versace.

"It was a great success - but as I walked down the runway for the final time, I realised Sly had left his seat. I found him back at our hotel. He didn't look happy.

"'She's not mine,' he said. 'I just heard from the DNA lab in Long Beach. Savannah's not mine. Send my regards to Mr Birnbaum' - and with that he stood up.

"'We had a good run, Janice. Say nice things about me and I'll say nice things about you.' And then he turned and walked out."

Dickinson is currently filming a third season of her reality TV show The Janice Dickinson Modelling Agency, in which she searches for new models to launch in the fashion industry.

Last year, Dickinson won over an army of fans due to her outbursts on ITV reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Dickinson was runner-up to King of the Jungle Christopher Biggins.
