Liz's Diet Confession

Liz HurleyShe is famous the world over for her stunning curves and her daring outfits.

But Liz Hurley has confessed that she has deep insecurities about her body.

In a frank interview, the actress reveals that when she looks in the mirror she sees "a person who eats too much junk food and doesn't exercise."

She adds: "That has sadly become my reality over the past year."

The world-famous model, 40, who has her own swimwear range, says: "I wouldn't wear the towelling miniskirt, bikini top and flip-flops - those days are over.

"I'm never again going to sit eating lunch on a boat in just a skimpy bikini. I don't feel comfortable doing that any more."

Liz with partner Arun NayarLiz's figure has been a subject of fascination - and envy - among women since her appearance in 'that' dress at the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere in 1994.

Yet now she confesses to feeling much less assured about her looks.

She tells Easy Living magazine: "As the years go by you do feel less confident about your body.

"I know that sounds bizarre coming from a woman who is photographed half-naked in bikinis, but I feel self-conscious posing for those pictures and they're all retouched anyway."

Liz, who has a three-year old son Damian with former lover Steve Bing, admits: "For two years I've done almost no exercise and I've been surviving on crisps and coffee.

"I'm obsessed with sausages - I'd like to eat them every day."

Liz, who lives with partner Arun Nayar on a £2.5million Gloucestershire estate, also tells the magazine she'd like another child.

She says she is determined to improve her appearance, and promises: "I shall go to ground and annoy everyone by emerging thinner, sexier and mentally cleansed."
