Aussie cricket legend Shane Warne, who made headlines this week when he stripped down in an awkward bedroom selfie on Instagram, has opened up about his recent split from , Emily Scott.

The 45-year-old announced his split with the model/DJ via twitter last month saying they were at "different stages of their lives", and has now confirmed that this was because the 30-year-old wanted kids - and he didn't.

Warnie, who is already father to teenage daughters Brooke, 17, and Summer, 12, and 14-year-old son Jackson, spoke to MyMp's Great Australian Lives on Thursday, where he admitted they were simply on different pages.

"She's such a cool girl, she's beautiful and lovely and sexy and all those sorts of things. Unfortunately she's just at a different stage of her life," he said.

He also opened up about ex-fiance, Liz Hurley, who he split from in 2013, revealing that the pair are still friends.

"She's an amazing lady, Elizabeth," he said.

"I'm a bit immature but she was a proper grown up. But I think that's what she liked about me too - I wasn't."
