Liz Hurley gives Shane Warne diet advice

Elizabeth Hurley has been giving Shane Warne nutritional tips on Twitter.

The actress and model, who is believed to be dating Aussie cricketer Warne, warned him that he should be having just "fruit" for breakfast if he wants to get to his target weight of 78kg.

Warne first wrote on the microblogging site: "Morning - should i cook myself pancakes or have some nice cereal and fruit for breakfast Currently 82.9kg - target 78kg ! Ok cereal & fruit (sic)."

Hurley wrote back: "Fruit and no cereal," to which Warne said: "Just the fruit - no cereal?" She then boasted about her breakfast, writing: "Me-1 egg, 3 pieces of bacon & a sausage-all from the farm. No toast. 3 espressos. But we know I bizarrely eat twice as much as u."

Warne later asked her how her meal was and joked: "Checking your ankles out when I see you next - where does all that food go?"

The rumoured couple were first romantically linked last year around the time that she announced her split from husband Arun Nayar. They were recently spotted in India together and have had regular contact on Twitter.

Warne's representative revealed last week that he has lost 10kg over the past few weeks due to a "fitness campaign".
