Shane Warne reveals why he and Liz Hurley broke up

Shane Warne candidly admitted that Hugh Grant was one of the reasons why he split up with his ex Liz Hurley.

'It is hard on a new relationship when you are really good friends with your ex,' he began to explain.

'Elizabeth was really good friends with Hugh (Grant), he was like her best friend.

'When I used to go back to Australia, Hugh would come and spend the weekend at the house and I was like, ‘What’s that?’ So I said, 'I’ll tell you what, when I’m there tell him to come when I’m there. I knew Hugh before I knew you so just tell him to come over and then she said he feels uncomfortable. What’s going on?'

The 46-year-old was in a relationship with the actress for four years. The pair were engaged to be married before breaking up in 2013.

Liz dated Hugh Grant for 13 years before the pair went their separate ways.

'We are still best friends, we are neighbours, we are Godparents to each others children,' The Royals star explained of her close friendship with Hugh.
