A representative for Whitney Houston has brushed off reports the star is in ill health, calling the rumours "rubbish."

The singer, who kicked off her first world tour in a decade at the end of last year, was recently hit by reports she is in a fragile condition.

U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claimed the 46 year old's health has declined in recent months, with family members begging the star to postpone her planned concerts.

But a spokesperson for Houston is adamant the publication's story is not true, telling GossipCop.com the reports are "ridiculous" and "rubbish."
