Shane Warne ‘sad’ that relationship with Elizabeth Hurley ended

Shane Warne has opened up about his past relationship with Elizabeth Hurley.

The famed cricketer, 50, and the English actress, 54, dated for three years before splitting in 2013.

Speaking in his Fox Sports series, A Week With Warnie, he confessed: ‘It is quite sad that it’s over.’

‘It is quite sad it is over because I still care about her deeply and she is a wonderful person.’

But in his new Foxtel docu-series, the retired cricketer revealed how the ‘circus’ surrounding his relationship with Liz ‘got scary’.

The sportsman recalled seven cars and a helicopter following their every move, when she visited him in Melbourne in 2011, after six months of dating.

‘We tried to keep things as normal as possible but it got scary,’ Shane began.

‘Some of these rogue photographers trying to get exclusives – I remember my youngest daughter Summer screaming in the back seat, “Dad, dad slow down”. Cars jumping in front of us, running red lights.’

The Spin King recalled attempting to enjoy a quiet meal with Elizabeth at the Capitol Golf Club in Melbourne, only to be followed by seven cars and a helicopter.

‘We couldn’t go anywhere else because we’d just get 30-40 people, photographers, news crews, everywhere we went.

‘We had seven cars following us and a helicopter over our head just following us, running red lights, cutting off in front of us,’ he continued.

Shane also revealed that fans left golf clubs outside his front door, hoping that the British bombshell would sign them.

The father-of-three previously told The Mirror that the years he spent with Elizabeth were the happiest of his life.

‘I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her,’ he told the publication in 2018.
