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.’
