For someone who claims to hate doing bikini shoots, Elizabeth Hurley looks pretty comfortable showing off her enviable figure.

Despite being a 43-year-old mother-of-one, Hurley looks more like a youthful twentysomething as she reclines on an Indian beach in a new sizzling photo shoot.

In an interview for this week’s issue of Hello! magazine, Hurley reveals her stunning curves in a series of bikinis from her Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection.

The Austin Powers actress has often spoke of her disdain for bikini shoots, saying she has to put in months of hard work getting her body ready before going in front of the camera.

She said: ‘Frankly, I’ve always disliked being photographed in a bikini.

‘I remember being offered an American Vogue cover and then being horrified because it was the bikini issue.

‘It actually turned out great, but I was gibbering with fear. I need to do a great deal of exercise and eat a lot less to feel comfortable on the beach now.

While few would deny she’s in amazing shape, Hurley admits she doesn’t mind a bit of digital-enhancement.

She said earlier this year: ‘I like a certain amount of retouching, like anybody.

‘We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes. I’ve always been quite particular - I don’t like my face to be retouched.’

In the Hello! interview, Hurley also responded to criticism of the tight-fitting pink bandeau dress she wore at an Estee Lauder breast cancer event at the Tower of London last month.

Despite her husband Arun Nayar and six-year-old son proclaiming their approval for the dress, some critics believed it was inappropriate for Hurley’s cleavage to be so prominent during a breast cancer event.

She said: ‘Well Damian and Arun liked it. It was actually a beautiful dress but I agree it looked insanely right.

‘It didn’t look quite so odd at home; something must have happened in the car on the way there.’

Elizabeth Hurley is to star in a reality TV show about life on a farm in a bid to show viewers she is really down to earth.

The 43-year-old beauty and her husband Arun Nayar own a sprawling country estate in Gloucestershire, England - and Hurley wants TV cameras to capture her ‘normal’ everyday life.

She says, “People always imagine me with perfect hair. But that’s not who I am. The first time he saw me in the country, my husband found me in wellies (wellington boots), covered in mud.”

Elizabeth Hurley has been urged by an animal rights group not to use meat in her upcoming food range and cookery books.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has written to the supermodel-turned-actress after learning she intends to launch her own range of low-fat organic food.

The products will include ingredients sourced from her 400-acre farm in Gloucestershire, England - including a litter of piglets.
In a letter to Hurley, PETA Vice President Bruce Friedrich writes, “Just as we hope Ms. Hurley would be hesitant to ship her dog off to slaughter, we hope she will pause to think before killing the pigs and other animals she is caring for on her farm. With so many healthy and delicious vegetarian options available, there’s no reason for Ms. Hurley - or anyone else - to betray her animal friends.”

Elizabeth Hurley is convinced she would be a mother of five if she had continued her romance with Hugh Grant - because the pair met when they were just 21.

Hurley, 43, and Grant, 47, dated for 13 years before parting ways in 2000 - but the pair remain close friends and confidants to this day. And their pals even joke they would now be parents to an enormous brood if they hadn’t chosen to end their relationship.

Hurley tells the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, “Sometimes Hugh and I can get morbid and say we could have had five children by now because we were together since we were 21. There was never a time when either of us wanted it.”

But the Bedazzled star, who has been married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar for a year, insists she would like to see Grant finally settled down.

She adds: “Women flock to Hugh. He’s like Austin Powers. Everyone worships him.”
