Welsh singer Tom Jones has laughed off rumours he has insured his famed chest hair for millions of dollars - putting the stories down to journalists having "a bit of fun".
The Delilah hitmaker had been rumoured to have taken out a massive GBP3.5 million insurance policy with Lloyds of London in a bid to protect his prized chest mane.
But the star has dismissed the reports - accusing the media of making up the story for amusement.
He writes on his Internet website, "No such policy exists or has ever been considered. We assume this is just a bit of fun."
