Retired Aussie cricketer Shane Warne and British screen siren Elizabeth Hurley have patched up their differences and are headed back down the altar, despite more scandalous text message claims.
The overtly public couple have become hush, hush of late. Their twitter accounts – which are usually littered with love for each other – are silent, and while we wondered what had gone down between the pair it seems the fast-talking spin bowler was up to his old tricks, text messaging the ladies.
Warney, 44, was caught red-handed by Liz, 48, when she found a mysterious mobile phone nestled away in his suitcase packed for a trip back to Australia.
The UK Mail claims the phone contained intimate text messages, the details of which have yet to emerge.
“The row between them was a bad one after Elizabeth came across a mobile phone,” a source told UK Mail.
“When she took a look there were things which made her a bit suspicious – including some text messages to people she didn’t know.”
Despite his bad behaviour, the Bedazzled star has chosen to overlook this latest indiscretion and is going ahead with their wedding plans after their brief two-month separation.
“But everything has been glossed over now – Elizabeth has forgiven him. They’re very happy as a couple and desperate to make things work,” the source continued.
This isn’t the first time the retired vice-captain has been caught neck-deep in dishonour – in 2005 his wife-of-10-years Simone Callahan called time on their marriage after years of humiliating text messages showing her husband’s cheating ways. After re-uniting, they finally split in 2007 after she discovered even more lurid text messages.
These included a crude text message sent to a British nurse, a picture message of Shane in his underwear with two 25-year-old models and the final nail, an erotic text message sent directly to Simone which was meant for another woman.
Warne and Simone, who have three children together, remain amicable friends, with Simone adamantly denying she had anything to do with the star couple’s split in September.
“There are definitely no feelings there. Shane and I gave it a good shot and we’re much better the way things are as friends,” she said.
The rest remains to be seen but it looks like the once loved-up, twitter-happy couple will get to visit the chapel after all, if only Shane can supress his trigger-happy texting urges.
