The former Australian cricketer, Shane Warne, is reported to have been apparently dumped by Liz Hurley. This was after Hurley learned that Warne had sent sexual text messages to a married Australian woman.

According to the News of the World and The Sunday Mirror, an Australian man, Denis Angeleri, claims his wife, Adele, was wooed by Warne with a series of explicit texts.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

According to the paper, they exchanged numbers and Warne began texting her, becoming progressively more suggestive. Adele grew worried and eventually told her husband, Denis, on December 3.

Warne had begged him to keep the matter secret for the sake of his family, however, Warne was “also clearly terrified Liz would discover his double-dealing”.

“There weren’t that many texts anyway,” The News Of The World quoted Warne as telling Angeleri.

But the paper said Warne sent her more than 100 messages, while simultaneously cultivating his relationship with Hurley.

According to the paper, it was only a few days after his confrontation with Angeleri that Warne met up with Hurley in London.

Warne, now in Perth commentating on the Third Ashes Test for Channel Nine, hit social networking site Twitter to lament the latest saga.

“The journey of life is about riding the ups/downs,” the Daily Telegraph quoted him as Tweeting.

Hurley wrote on Twitter that she had no plans to divorce her estranged husband and would not be spending time with Warne in Australia in the coming weeks.
