Liz Hurley confirms wedding plans

After months of speculation Liz Hurley has announced that she will marry Arun Nayer.

Although she has denied rumours in the past, the Bedazzled and Austin Powers star told Italian Vanity Fair that they have definitely set a date and that they plan to have a family.

"I cannot reveal to you the exact date but it is very close," she said. "We are even thinking of having a child."

Liz met Indian tycoon Nayer in 2003 shortly after she had given birth to her son Damian and he had just separated from his wife. She describes the moment they met as a "lightning bolt".

"I can't imagine being away from him for a long period or dragging him here, there and everywhere," she said.

When asked how she thought she'd find married life, she replied: "I'll let you know when I get married. I was with Hugh Grant for 13 years and we were like husband and wife so I don't think there will be any great difference."

Guests at the wedding are likely to include good friends Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish as well as former flame Grant, who Liz said she still likes "enormously".
