Revealed: Why Liz is dating Shane

Shane Warne was able to spin his romance with Liz Hurley because he makes her laugh.

The 45-year-old actress told The Sun that his sense of humour is what bowled her over.

“I love Australians. They're very outdoorsy. They make me laugh - their accents amuse me,” she said. Hurley has been in an on-off relationship with the cricket legend, and the pair were spotted with her son Damian last week prompting rumours they were back together.

Asked if they were an item again, Hurley said: “Well, I certainly wasn't into cricket before.”

Warne was reportedly teaching Damian how to play cricket.

“It's better than me giving him lessons. Although I can now bowl by the way,” she said.
