FORMER Hampshire cricketer Shane Warne and actress and model Liz Hurley have announced their engagement.
Shane, 42, proposed on Friday to Liz 46, who grew up in Basingstoke.
The couple met at Goodwood races in July last year and began dating in December.
Shane played for the county between 2000 and 2008 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time.
He proposed at a restaurant during a celebrity golf tournament at St Andrews in Scotland. Other diners are reported to have given the couple a standing ovation.
It will be both’s second marriage. Shane’s marriage to Simone, with whom he has three children, ended last year. Liz married Indian textile heir Arun Nayar in 2007 but that marriage ended earlier this year.
Her former partner, actor Hugh Grant, with whom she split in 2000 after 13 years, is also playing at the same tournament.
