'I've never had surgery... I look good because I'm in love': Shane Warne gives the real reason for his youthful look

By Holly Thomas


No surgery: Shane Warne, pictured at an England vs Sri Lanka test match in June, says he still has 'a few wrinkles'


Shane Warne has finally spoken out about claims that he has undergone plastic surgery to maintain his astonishingly youthful looks.

In a candid new radio interview, he has denied going under the surgeon's knife, and instead credits his new lease of life to being in love and healthier habits.

The star bowler also refused to confirm or deny rumours of an engagement to Liz Hurley.


Talking openly on 3AW's breakfast show today, Shane stressed that he had never even contacted a plastic surgeon.

'I've got some wrinkles,' Shane admitted, but emphasised: 'I have never even had a consultation with a plastic surgeon.'

Shane even indicated that the media have manipulated images of his face to promote the idea that he's had work done

'I don't think it's right or fair to the public to portray me as a person with no wrinkles,' he said.

'I've got some legal advice on that at the moment. Some pictures have been doctored. That's illegal in this country.'

No longer a beer and pie guy: Chatting on 3AW radio this morning Shane insisted he just cut out the junk to keep pace with younger players


'I haven't changed one bit,' the 42 year old insisted.

Warne said that he has adopted a more moderate lifestyle as a way of keeping up with younger players. His weight loss started when he began a new TV show in Australia last October.

'I'm no longer the 30-year-old bloke who used to sit in the changing room and have beer and pies. I still do that but I'm 42 and maturing now. I still like my beans in the morning. Or my spaghetti on toast,' Shane said.

'I'm around 78 kilos at the moment. I'm running. I'm fit, I'm strong. I was around 92kg when I was playing.

False impression: Shane believes that some media outlets have doctored images of his face


He added: 'I actually wanted to get fit. I got into it and I really started to enjoy it so I have kept going.'

Shane addressed the widely held belief that his relationship with model Elizabeth Hurley was the reason behind his health kick: 'I think Liz is annoyed about reports she's the person who's changed me.'

'Elizabeth Hurley hasn't got her high heels in the middle of my back saying, "You must do 100 push ups" and, "You can't do that". It's absolute rubbish.

'Suddenly people see you with Elizabeth Hurley and they see you mixing with some of her friends and they think, "Where's this Aussie guy who had a pie and beer in his hand gone?"'

Big change: The bowler, pictured left leaving Liz Hurley's house a fortnight ago and right in February 2010, started to lose weight last October


'I'm the fittest I have ever been, I'm the happiest I have ever been. I'm healthy, what's the crime here?'

Nevertheless he admitted to some remaining vices. 'I still eat pizzas, I still have a pie and a beer, but it's all in moderation,' Shane confessed.

When the conversation turned to more romantic matters, Shane was less forthcoming, and refused to say whether he had proposed.

'If I had some sort of news about that I'd be happy to share it with you,' he said.
When interviewer Neil Mitchell persisted, a smiling Warne replied: 'As I said Neil, if there is any news, I will let you know.'

Keeping quiet: Though he was firm in denying that partner Elizabeth Hurley had influenced his weight loss, Shane refused to confirm engagement rumours


Asked if he was in love, he replied: "Yes I am.

'Being in love with someone is a wonderful feeling and I am at the moment. 'I think that gives off a radiant glow too, you know.'

He continued, 'I was lucky to meet Elizabeth, we've met, we're having a great time and I am in love with her. We're going really well, it's easy with each other.'

'It's a bit interesting. It's different at times, in her world. But she likes my world. Together, we make a pretty good partnership.'

'It's nice that the people out there think that we make a good couple and they're happy for us. She's a lovely lady. The kids are accepting of her.'

Perfect match: Shane says that that being in love with Elizabeth is 'wonderful'

Jolly good show! Liz Hurley and Shane Warne share a kiss for the cameras as they leave Edgbaston after England win

Puckering up: Liz Hurley and Shane Warne share a kiss for the cameras as they leave Edgbaston after the cricket yesterday

If she's getting fed up with his metrosexual ways, then Liz Hurley certainly isn't showing it.

In fact, the model cosied up to her cricketer beau Shane Warne in a very public display of affection at Edgbaston yesterday.

Hurley and Warne were snapped sharing a kiss on the pitch at the cricket ground in Birmingham yesterday.

The couple couldn't contain their affection as they left the ground after the third match of the four-match Test series in which England beat India to take a 3-0 lead.

Clearly delighted at the home win, Liz showed her happiness with a smacker for her Australian, who was commentating on the match for Sky Sports.

And she took to her Twitter page a few hours before to write: 'Standing on the pitch watching SW spouting pearls of wisdom for Sky.....loving it. Bit nippy though.'


Bye bye Birmingham: Liz and Shane take a stroll across the pitch


The actress, 45, has been slammed in recent weeks for 'emasculating' Warne in a slim, shiny-faced metrosexual.

But according to her friends, the overly-groomed new Warne is all his doing and Liz is starting to get fed up with it.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Liz was encouraging at the start and was pleased at his weight loss and that he wanted to take better care of himself.


The happy couple: Shane and Liz beam as they stop for a photo


But she has told her pals that she is now getting sick of him constantly asking her for beauty tips - and fears it's getting out of control.

A friend told the paper: 'He’s taking advice on moisturisers and skin peels and researching juicing diets.


Another one? But Liz and Shane didn't need any encouragement to have another smooch


'Liz doesn’t want to lose the man she’s fallen in love with but all the girly chat is getting a little tiresome. Her friends are ¬finding it all highly amusing.

'Liz is still head over heels about Shane. She just wants him to calm down a little.'

The considerably less burly Mr Hurley! Shane Warne cuts a very slim figure

By Simon Cable


Shaving off the weight: Shane Warne, aka Mr Elizabeth Hurley, has shed two stone and is now almost unrecognisable


Since he was bowled over by Elizabeth Hurley, his slick new look has been the subject of much speculation.

Now it appears Shane Warne is not just slick, but also most definitely sleek.

The Australian cricketer cut an extraordinarily slim figure as he emerged from Miss Hurley’s West London home.


He revealed he has shed two stone in four months, but denies his glamorous girlfriend – notorious for her own strict fitness regime – is behind his image makeover.

The 41-year-old said he had embarked on a training programme off his own back, writing on Twitter: ‘I have always taken pride in my appearance and an attack on EH is unfair.

'I’m proud of how I look and worked my butt off for 4 months.’

Chubby cheeks: The Australian cricketer used to have a much fuller face


Whatever his motivation, he certainly appeared to have worked up a sweat when he was spotted this week, visibly glistening in the English heat.

Spin bowler Warne retired from first-class cricket in 2008.

He began dating actress and model Miss Hurley, 46, last year following her split from estranged husband Arun Nayar.

'His eyes were born that way!' Liz Hurley denies rumours that Shane Warne wears make-up

By Daily Mail Reporter


All made up: Liz Hurley has posted comments on Twitter refuting claims that boyfriend Shane Warne, left, has ever worn cosmetics to alter his looks


Liz Hurley has leapt to the defence of her boyfriend Shane Warne amid rumours he has begun wearing make-up.

The 46-year-old actress refuted claims Warne's remarkable transformation since the pair started dating is down to a spot of lip gloss and eye liner.

Australian cricketer Warne has ditched his laddish looks and clothes in recent months in favour of a more refined English gentleman style.


But Bedazzled star Hurley took to Twitter to deny her boyfriend's dramatic makeover involved the use of cosmetics.

In a series of posts, Hurley insisted that Warne's new look was entirely natural.

She Tweeted: 'SW does not wear eye makeup or have an "eye liner tattoo".... his eyes were born that way!

'Neither does he wear lip gloss fyi hacks in gossip press; he'd prob just given me a kiss & got a bit of mine.'

Defending love: Liz claims her lip gloss rubbed off on Shane after a kiss


The actress and a radically different looking Warne,41, were photographed together attending Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball last month.

His suave, chiselled appearance sparked rumours he had gone under the knife in a bid to appease his glamorous lover.

Tweeting in her man's defence, Hurley added: 'And re "looking different", you try losing 25lbs and see if you do!'

Shane also refuted the claims, putting his new youthful looks down to a healthy eating regime, exercise and a 'good moisturiser..

He Tweeted: 'Questions re facelift/Botox etc are absolute rubbish.


Before and after: Shane attributes the change to losing 7kgs and using Estee Lauder moisturiser


'I am 86kg. Lost 7kg and close to being the fittest I have ever been. Fitness and being healthy is now a daily habit I feel great and never been happier in my life'

'I am also eating very healthily and am flattered that people think I look younger. I have worked hard over the last five months on fitness.'

Shane also promoted Estee Lauder products, the cosmetics brand that signed Liz as their face.

He said: 'New Estee Lauder moisturisers for my skin have made a big difference.'
Hurley - whose divorce from businessman Arun Nayar was confirmed in June - began seeing Warne last year.

The romance appeared short-lived after he was exposed for sending sexually explicit texts to an Australian businesswoman earlier this year.

But the relationship appeared to be back on track after Hurley jetted out to India to watch Warne star for the Rajasthan Royals in the country's cricket premier league.

Notorious dieter Hurley had earlier revealed her horror on Twitter after learning the calorie count of one of her favourite snacks.

She exclaimed: 'Horrified to see calorific notes next to muffins in Starbucks; I frequently polish off one at 480 calories. Swoon.'

Ouch Liz! Hurley takes a tumble in sky high heels as she opens a village fete

By Emily Allen


Star attraction: Liz Hurley, accompanied by boyfriend Shane Warne, was opening the Ampney Crucis Village Fete today near her home in Gloucestershire


After years on the catwalk and at glitzy red carpet events you would think Liz Hurley had got the hang of walking in heels.

But she clearly forgot today as she took a tumble at a village fete in the Cotswolds today - in front of new boyfriend Shane Warne.

Perhaps she should have opted for more sensible footwear for the Gloucestershire terrain as she opened the event in Ampney Crucis in front of hundreds of villagers.


Hit for six: Liz fell victim of her towering heels and clutched onto railings as she attempted to stay upright after cutting the ribbon to declare the fete open


The star lives at nearby Ampney Knowle

Normally the epitome of elegance and poise, model and actress was walking down some steps moments after declaring the fete open when her nude wedges got the better of her.

She lost her balance making a dive for the railings in a bid to stay upright and seemed to topple over on her left foot.

She did not appear to have hurt herself though as she was seen back on two feet within no time leafing through second hand books.

However, she did clutch Warne's hand for the rest of the afternoon just in case she took another tumble.

Couple: Liz Hurley and Shane Warne smile as they arrive at the Ampney Crucis Village Fete - but what has happened to Shane's hair?


Her shoes were not the only part of her outfit Ms Hurley seemed to get wrong today.

Whilst almost all the villagers were prepared for the unsettled weather in flat shoes, jumpers and coats, Ms Hurley shivered in a bright yellow sleeveless sun dress for the event.

Fete organisers were delighted Ms Hurley decided to open the fete. Both previous times organisers have taken more than £3,000.

The Austin Powers actress has been dating Warne since last December.

In the last few weeks there has been a notable change in his appearance, with significant weight loss and a dramatically preened new look.

A top plastic surgeon believes he has opted for surgery but he insists it is down to his girlfriend's beauty creams.


Book worm: Liz Hurley and Shane Warne browse a stall at the Ampney Crucis Village Fete


Ms Hurley has become a regular at the Ampney Crucis summer fete since moving from London to the 400-acre Ampney Knowle organic farm in Gloucestershire in 2008.

While she may be more used to A-list parties, the activities at the fete included Women’s Institute teas, a Pimm’s tent, bottle tombola and a dog agility show.

The couple have barely been out of the news lately. On Thursday, they stole the show at Sir Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball and on Friday were seen kissing in a London cafe.

They are said to have started dating in December. Ms Hurley’s four-year marriage to Arun Nayar ended when a divorce was granted earlier this month.
