Grant 'desperate to get back with Khan'

Hugh Grant wants to rekindle his romance with ex-girlfriend Jemima Khan, a report claims.

The couple split last February amid reports that they had clashed over the actor's refusal to commit to their relationship.

However, a friend told the Daily Mail that Grant now wants to spend the rest of his life with the heiress, saying: "Hugh has admitted he really messed up with Jemima. He has spent months regretting their break-up. At the time he didn't want stability and marriage but now he is sure that is what he wants, and he wants it with Jemima.

"Jemima has been having fun but she never really got over the split with Hugh. She wants to marry and settle down."

The couple were spotted dining in Paris last week, where Khan was filming a perfume ad campaign and Grant was meeting with directors. Although a source denied that the meeting was any more than a coincidence, rumours have been rife that they are on the verge of reuniting.

It was reported last year that Khan planned to reveal details of their romance in a forthcoming autobiography.
