Liz Hurley, 55, sets pulses racing in steamy bikini shots

Liz Hurley’s steady stream of bikini shots is not just for the delight of her 1.7 million Instagram followers – it’s very good for business. 

The latest figures for her swimwear firm Simian Productions, run with ex-husband Arun Nayar, show that it cut its losses from £135,528 in 2018 to £15,847 by the end of 2019. 

In February Liz, 55, insisted she’s too old to wear bikinis in public, saying: ‘I wouldn’t walk round a public beach in a bikini any more. 

‘I’m much too old. But, privately, of course.’

Now her accountants will be delighted too!

Which rock star relative had to make an emergency visit to the vet after suspecting her beloved pooch had swallowed drugs? 

She told friends: ‘My dog was sick and I was worried he might have eaten some drugs on the floor of my flat.’ 

How careless!  

Ruby roasts British food 

When comedian Ruby Wax moved from her native Illinois in the US to the UK almost 50 years ago, she was baffled by some of our most famous delicacies.

‘When I got here it was a huge disappointment as everything was black and white and it was freezing and they were only eating toad in the hole,’ says Ruby, 67. 

‘I didn’t know what these food stuffs were but they looked like my grandmother in a crust.’
