Liz Hurley - Biography

In a nutshell

Liz is a model and actress who ? unfortunately ? gained widespread attention for being Hugh Grant's girlfriend in the 90s.

She was an actress struggling to get work when she met Hugh on the production of Remando Al Viento (don't worry, we haven't seen it either) and started up their relationship.

While Hugh became more famous due to his film roles, Liz went along with him to the premier of Four Weddings and a Funeral wearing a simple number she'd picked up somewhere ? a plunging black dress held together by oversized safety pins. Of course, the fact that she was all over the papers the next day was totally unplanned and definitely unwelcome...

It must have been tough being known as Hugh Grant's girlfriend to begin with, but image how she felt when they pair split up. She was now known as High Grant's ex-girlfriend. Ouch!

You'd probably have a hard time trying to remember any of her film roles but lets refresh your memory with a film that might ring a bell, Austin Powers. She starred alongside Mike Myers and looked very pretty and spoke a few times. Suffice to say the Oscars decided to give her a miss for an award that year.

We don't mean to be mean about Liz, honest. We like her, and even more so for taking on the role as host of Sky 1's Project Catwalk in its first series. Described as wooden and generally slagged off, Liz wasn't brought back for the second series. Oops.

She's now married to a guy called Arun Nayar who runs a textile business. Hurray!
