She is known for her jet-set lifestyle - but Liz Hurley says she is a working farmer

The 40-year-old bought her 400-acre property in Gloucestershire two years ago.
She said: "I haven't been a farmer before and now I'm a farmer because it's a working farm.

"It's the best thing I've ever done... it's the only place I want to be."
The model tells Channel 4 show Richard And Judy that her property already has 20 sheep and 10 chickens.

But she adds: "When we get our organic status we're going to farm properly and we're going to have a herd of cows and proper sheep and proper chickens, and we're going to have small amounts of Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs.

"I've joined the breeders' club already and I'm quite excited about it."

The presenter of Sky One reality show Project Catwalk adds: "I would like to go for some kind of organic food production and I plan to do it - maybe something Indian."

Hurley, who recently said she might be buying her wedding dress from Debenhams, denied there were any plans to tie the knot with boyfriend Arun Nayar.

She said: "As a matter of fact, we haven't got any plans to get married, but even my mother doesn't believe me."

Hurley, who recently set up her own swimwear line, said she had spent last month "full of memories and nostalgia" for the period when she dated Hugh Grant.

She said: "Through no other reason but sloth, Hugh and I only split up offices last week.

"And so I spent most of last month going through boxes and boxes of things like that photograph (from the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere) and press cuttings over the last 12 years and all sorts of memorabilia.

"In fact I found a photo similar to that one, but nicer... I hadn't seen a photo like that for years and I thought 'No, I'm going to keep this out because it's now nice to look back on'.

"So I've been full of memories and nostalgia."

She added: "We don't see a great deal of each other so much now because obviously we've got completely separate lives and we've moved on with new relationships and families, but I still worship him - he's my best friend."

The interview will be broadcast on Channel 4's Richard And Judy on Thursday at 5pm.
