HEREFORDSHIRE based celebrity Liz Hurley shared pictures of her celebrating New Year’s Eve in fancy dress with a 'mystery man'.

The model and actress, who lives near Ledbury, is dressed as Supergirl in a series of snaps shared with her 2.2 million Instagram followers.

The 56-year-old Austin Powers star is seen posing and rolling around with a man dressed as Superman.

Hurley captioned the photos: “Supergirl vs Superman. Happy New Year everyone”.

The pictures pleased fans, with some speculating on the identity of Hurley’s superman.

Celebrity make-up artist Sandy Linter said, “he’s gorgeous”, while swimwear designer Melissa Odabash simply replied with three fire emojis.

Ms Hurley has had high-profile relationships with actor Hugh Grant and Australian cricketer Shane Warne. She was married to businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 until 2011.

Now aged 56, she has lived in Donnington Hall, near Ledbury, since 2012.

The star of films including Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery said she had no plans to continue modelling swimwear in her 60s.

She previously said: "I sincerely hope not. I'll definitely still wear it though."

She appeared to take a little time to settle into country life in Herefordshire; in 2013 she complained that noisy sheep were keeping her awake.

She is sometimes seen out and about in the county.

In 2018 she was at Bromsberrow Heath Dog Show and Family Fun Day, near Ledbury, where she entered her spaniel, Mia, and came away with a prize.

Last month, Hurley hit the headlines when she posted a picture of herself on the beach in a bikini alongside news that she'd had her Covid booster jab after isolating in Herefordshire with her family, including her mother, aunt and friend.
