Shane Warne's Rep Denies Engagement Buzz

Shane Warne and Liz Hurley

For someone who has turned tweeting into an artform, Shane Warne seems to have gone strangely quiet on the topic of his rumoured engagement to Liz Hurley. While everything from the London riots to Russell Crowe’s new album rates a recent mention on Warne’s Twitter page, the cricket legend, 41, did not address recent buzz he had proposed to the English actress while holidaying on James Packer’s luxury yacht.

According to an anonymous tipster who rang Sky Radio on August 10, Warne was “spotted on my good friend Jamie Packer’s boat in Mauritius”, and “popped the question” to Hurley, 46, who “accepted, apparently.”

All of which is “not true,” Warne’s manager, James Erskine, tells WHO. Yet the spin king himself is staying mum on the engagement whispers, only tweeting on Aug. 9 that he felt “very privileged and lucky to have had a few days off with EH in the sun.
