Liz Hurley 'dumps two-timing Shane Warne'

Liz Hurley has reportedly ended her relationship with Shane Warne after discovering that he was texting another woman.

According to the News of the World, the cricketer sent Melbourne-based businesswoman Adele Angeleri over 100 text messages at the same time as pursuing Hurley. The texts are said to have ended in early December when Angeleri's husband Denis found out.

A family friend said: "They exchanged numbers then Shane kept coming into Adele's shop, chatting her up and texting her. At one point he asked if she was married and was told the truth. Shane made all the running but Adele was flattered by the attention. Soon the texts were coming daily.

"Denis thought something was up because Adele seemed worried. He asked what it was and she told him about all the texts from Warne. She confessed she'd found it flattering at first. Warne's a big star, after all. But she refused all his advances and they never slept together.

"Then when he got more and more persistent, she got worried. Warne's a huge name in Australia and people hero-worship him. He's not the kind of person to get on the wrong side of."

Hurley confirmed her split from husband Arun Nayar last week when details of her relationship with Warne emerged.
