The retired swimmer took to Twitter to slam claims the pair were romantically involved, just hours after she was pictured topless.
The 28-year-old, who announced her split from husband Harry Needs last year, dismissed reports that the pair looked “cosy”.
Rebecca told her 493,000 followers: “Got to laugh at the newspapers today… on holiday with my best mate! Hardly cosying up or an intimate holiday #dontbelievewhatyouread.”
When one fan wrote, “Lol at ‘steamy selfie’. Or it’s just a selfie?” she responded with several laughing emojis.

And, when another user joked that those of the opposite sex can’t just be friends, Rebecca continued: “Exactly! 15 years being best mates!”
The former athlete and fellow swimmer Tom, 29, had been keeping fans updated on their trip to Mexico via Instagram.
Rebecca, who has daughter with her ex, has shared a number of sweet selfies that sparked rumours they were more than BFFS.

However, it was a scantily-clad snap of the Celebrity MasterChef star that caused the biggest stir with her 83,000 followers.
“Paradise @thomsonholidays @eldoradoresorts #experienceeldorado #nofilter #holiday,” Rebecca captioned the topless picture of herself.
Relaxing on an inflatable float, her toned figure was impossible to miss as she sported just a purple pair of briefs.
