The relationship between Elizabeth Hurley and former Australian cricketer Shane Warne was last night said to be over after he was accused of sending another woman more than 100 sexually-charged texts. Warne, 45, is said to be shattered that Ms Hurley has left him after he bombarded a millionaire’s wife with the messages while also romancing the actress and model.
Last night Miss Hurley posted a message on social networking site Twitter in which she compared the situation to The Jerry Springer Show.Miss Hurley wrote: ‘Er…please take any mentions of me in the latest thrilling instalment of the Jerry Springer-esque saga with a LARGE pinch of salt.’
Warne is said to have told friends he wanted to marry Miss Hurley, 45.
But at the same time as he was romancing her it is claimed he pursued Australian mother-of-two Adele Angeleri, sending her dozens of messages. Mrs Angeleri – who runs a designer clothes shop opposite the headquarters of Warne’s charity, The Shane Warne Foundation in Melbourne – approached him about a business proposal.
They swapped numbers but Warne allegedly began sending the 40-year-old increasingly suggestive messages. The text affair was uncovered by Mrs Angeleri’s husband, lawyer Denis Angeleri, who confronted his wife after reading the messages. Mrs Angeleri insisted the relationship never developed further than the exchange of text messages and said she never met up with Warne, who is separated from wife Simone.
Mr Angeleri, 47, also confronted Warne in an angry telephone call which was met with silence. Warne could not be reached for comment yesterday. Miss Hurley’s agent did not respond to calls. Last night Mr Angeleri told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The story is true.’
