Elizabeth Hurley accused Robert Rinder of "talking to [her] breasts" during their first meeting about their new Channel 4 reality TV show.
The actress-and-model has teamed up with TV host Rinder to take part in The Inheritance - a 12-episode series that sees 13 strangers summoned to a grand stately home to compete for a chunk of a fortune left in the will of The Deceased. Elizabeth, 60, plays the benefactor while Rinder, 47, stars as the executor who is overseeing her estate, but their first meeting about "formats" for the programme - which is set to air in the autumn - took an awkward turn.
Speaking on the latest episode of That Gaby Roslin Podcast, Robert recalled: "When Elizabeth and I met, and she was just magnificent.
"She is the person a young gay man would want to marry before realising that they would have to do geography that they weren't necessarily interested in.
"And she was wearing this some kind of gold magnificence. The one that has a picture of me standing next to her in the coffin.
"And I spoke to her about formats that had my chat prepped because I knew it wasn't going to go initially well. I don't do well with first encounter, especially with something as camp as that.
"So I started talking, she said: 'Are you talking to my breasts?' I had nowhere to go because they were there. So I said: 'Yes, actually, Elizabeth, I am.'
"And, you know, it would be absurd not to because they're there. What are you supposed to do? You know: 'Are you looking at the Alps?'"
The Inheritance has been described as a "game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal", as well as "camp, cut-throat and completely gripping".
The 13 contestants have to work as a team to complete The Deceased's final requests - "devilishly" tricky challenges that make the group be "clever, collaborative and cunning".
But as The Deceased had a "wicked sense of humour" and a "mischievous" side, only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance.
However, the twist is that only one player can claim the money gained in each request, meaning one of the contestants has to persuade the others that they deserve the cash alone that their team helped to earn.
Elizabeth said: "It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside, and she dresses to the nines in every scene.
"Tune in this autumn to catch The Inheritance on Channel 4."
Robert added: "This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage.

"As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased, played by the iconic Elizabeth Hurley."

Hollyoaks confirms Sienna's fate as aftermath of Jez showdown is revealed
Hollyoaks has confirmed that Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) will live following her showdown with dastardly killer Jez (Jeremy Sheffield) – but an unexpected twist follows. The much-loved show favourite, as viewers know, uncovered the truth about evil dad Jez earlier this week after finding Robbie Roscoe's (Charlie Wernham) body at the allotment. Robbie was one of several characters killed by serial killer Jez, who has been claiming lives for much of his, documenting his kills in a disturbing journal which he keeps at the flat. Sienna had some knowledge of Jez's brutality when she discovered that he'd killed Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) earlier this year and, in unsettling scenes, she assisted him in burying the body. Jez vowed that he had turned over a new leaf and Sienna hoped that he was telling the truth. However, things took quite a turn last week when she learned via Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) that Dilly's DNA had been found in connection with Dennis and Ian Stone the social worker. Given that Dilly died in January and Ian was killed just a matter of weeks ago, it didn't take long for Sienna to work out that something was awry. Desperate for answers, the former high school teacher made a beeline for the allotment, where she uncovered Jez's grisly crimes, unearthing the body of Robbie Roscoe, who had also been killed by the murderer. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Monday's (August 11) edition of the Channel 4 soap dealt with the aftermath of the discovery as Sienna demanded that Jez come clean over his actions. Jez wasted little time in showing just how twisted he truly is, basking in his killer nature as he told Sienna he was relieved that he no longer had to hide from her. Utterly appalled by the depths of his evilness, Sienna feared for the lives of her loved ones, reminding him that he's already killed family members in Dilly and Dennis.

In tense scenes, Sienna raced across the city walls and made a phone call to Dodger – but Jez intervened. A dramatic face-off ensued, with Sienna pushing her villainous dad away. As he teetered on the edge of the faulty railing, he pulled Sienna with him as the two plummeted to the ground below. The immediate aftermath of the showdown will be revealed on-screen this week but new spoilers for next week confirm that both Sienna and Jez escape the situation with their lives intact. Their memories, however… well that's another story. In upcoming scenes set to air next week, Sienna tells Jez and Liberty Savage (Jeramy Stoddart) that it's looking unlikely that will ever regain the lost memories. Liberty worries that SIenna is keeping something from Jez. It seems there is more to this than meets the eye as, at one stage during the week, Sienna logs on to a chatroom, hoping for advice on having a serial killer as a father. Later, she frantically tries to sell the stall and stock, much to Lib's horror. More Trending Afterwards, Sienna pays a visit to see Dodger at the station but before she gets to speak to him, Jez arrives. The question is: is the truth coming back to Sienna? And either way, will Jez claim her life? Or is the clock finally ticking on the villainous gardener? Will Sienna prove instrumental in taking him down? Will Liberty finally see him for who he is?

Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins axes ex army corporal for 'lying and cheating' on the show - resulting in an explosive row
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has claimed two more high-profile departures, with one contestant dramatically thrown off the show for 'lying and cheating' while another walked away in agony. The brutal Channel 4 challenge has already seen a string of early exits, including S Club's Hannah Spearritt, TV personality Louie Spence, and Love Islanders Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri - and Wednesday's episode delivered even more shocks. The fourth episode's theme focused on trust and integrity, but tensions exploded as former Traitors winner Harry Clark, 24, was booted from the course by furious staff after being caught cutting corners. Harry – whose skills in deception helped him scoop the Traitors crown – found his tactics backfired when his Celebrity SAS teammates branded him one of the least trustworthy recruits. Alongside Rebecca Loos, he was put in charge of a team for a gruelling race involving hauling a heavy dinghy. But as ex-Special Forces instructors Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver watched on, Harry appeared to avoid his share of the workload. His lack of effort left former football hardman Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa taking on the bulk of the weight – triggering a flare-up of his long-term knee injury. In pain and out of energy, Adebayo had no choice but to withdraw from the show entirely. Earlier in the show Jason Fox could be heard saying: 'If we get an indication that a recruit isn't pulling their weight, we will find out' so when back at camp, Harry was hauled in for a no-nonsense grilling. When confronted over failing to complete an earlier set of burpees, the staff accused him of lying straight to their faces. 'Are you f***ing trying to pull the wool over my eyes?!' Chris raged, before adding the star was treating him 'like an idiot'. Moments later, the ex army corporal was marched out in front of the rest of the recruits, and admitted that he had 'cut corners' and not completed all the burpees. Mark then shouted: 'No, you lied, you cut corners, I asked you three times about honesty and integrity, and what did you do?' Harry replied: 'I lied, staff.'

Earlier in the episode, Harry joked to the other celebrities how he couldn't grow facial hair. Talking about the fact they had not looked at themselves in the mirror in nearly a week he said: 'Do you know what I just deeped yeah? We haven't looked at ourselves in the mirror in like four days'. 'I haven't had facial hair since I was like 16. I'm clean shaven every day but do you know what's nice? I have like a proper Italian moustache.' With Harry and Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa gone, just eight stars remain on the show, with the next episode set to air this Sunday at 9pm on Channel 4. Last year, John Barrowman quit SAS after just 32 minutes into filming. He dubbed the 'worst recruit' in the show's history after he told Directing Staff 'I'm done'. He then added: 'I just... it's not for me, I know who I am and what I'm about, it's not for me' following his arrival on set.
