Liz bowled me over

Shane ‘happiest in life’ with his ex

SHANE Warne has admitted his years with Elizabeth Hurley were the happiest of his life and he still misses the love they shared. The ex-cricketer and notorious womaniser said the pressures of her filming for The Royals strained the relationsh­ip – and that he felt threatened by her friendship with her ex Hugh Grant. And he insisted that despite his bad-boy reputation, he wanted to be a better man for Liz. The 49-yearold said: “I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be.

“I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her.”

Bowler Shane also told of his regret at cheating on wife of 10 years Simone with Liz, 53, who he met in 2010.

And he said of his 2013 split with Liz: “The long periods apart were too difficult. The more you’re apart, the more you ask questions. I got jumpy about the time Elizabeth spent with Hugh Grant, for example.

“I still care for her. She showed me what a relationsh­ip should mean.”
