Looking fantastic can be a curse as well as a blessing. Don’t believe us? Just ask Liz Hurley.
The actress-turned-businesswoman appeared on Loose Women today to speak of her brave crusade against breast cancer.
Having lost her grandmother to the deadly illness, she’s now determined to raise awareness and improve the lives of sufferers.
However, viewers at home appeared to be distracted by how amazing the 52-year-old looks, with one fan describing her as an “absolute 10”.
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Liz joined Loose Women panellists Andrea McLean, Nadia Sawalha, Janet Street-Porter and Gloria Hunniford to speak about her personal dealings with the illness.
She lost her own grandmother to breast cancer and has been campaigning to raise awareness of it ever since.
Dressed in a pretty, pink-lace dress, she told the panel: “[People] didn’t talk about it and [my grandmother] didn’t talk about it, and it’s a source of enormous sadness to me that I feel if she’d been diagnosed today with what we know now, with the advances they’ve made in treatments, with diagnosis, with awareness, the way we talk about it, I feel it could just have been different for her.
“As far as they knew, it was a death sentence. We know it’s not a death sentence now if caught early enough.”

Sad words, indeed. But no sooner had Liz started her impassioned address than viewers at home were posting comments about her youthful appearance.
One tweeted: “Flicking through the TV before work, and Liz Hurley is on. Wow! She’s still mega.”
Another said: “What a stunning, naturally beautiful woman Elizabeth Hurley is… No false, plumped-up lips and her face moves. Life goal x.”
And a third fan added: “Liz Hurley is an absolute 10.”

They shouldn’t have been surprised, of course. The Austin Powers actress has been turning heads ever since she appeared alongside her then-boyfriend Hugh Grant at the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere in 1994, wearing THAT Versace dress.
And she’s already set tongues wagging on numerous occasions this year, sporting various swimsuits from her own Elizabeth Hurley Beach range.
Quite what Liz’s 15-year-old son Damian makes of everyone fancying his mum is anyone’s guess!
In a separate interview today, Liz added to the discussion surrounding the recent Harvey Weinstein scandal.
The Hollywood film producer has been sacked from his own company amid claims of sexual harrassment.
But Liz told Sky News that she’s “known Harvey for 22 years”, adding that she “can honestly say he certainly never asked me to massage him”.
