Elizabeth Hurley reveals boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus is teaching her how to play the guitar - as country singer pens 'sexy songs' inspired by her
She has been busy promoting her new show, Channel 4 's The Inheritance, whilst simultaneously pushing her capsule collection for her beachwear range. So it would be easy to think Elizabeth Hurley is too busy to take on anymore projects, yet it seems when it comes to her new boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus, she will always find the time. The pair who went public with their relationship at Easter seem to be getting closer and closer as the weeks go by. The actress and model, 60, revealed on Friday that musician Billy, 63, has been teaching her how to play the guitar. Dressed in a white gown, adorned with lace, Elizabeth shared some sweet shots of her sat on a swing by a tree, clutching onto an acoustic guitar. With her brunette hair blowing in the wind, the TV star couldn't hide the smile from her face, as she held onto the instrument confidently, with her fingers and thumbs expertly placed as if about to break out into a melody. In another image, she could be seen sat barefooted on the grassy floor, flashing some thigh as she posed with it across her body. Alongside the post, Elizabeth penned: 'My patient boyfriend is attempting to teach me the guitar ❤️❤️❤️ (and yes, he's going to replace the missing string) ❤️❤️❤️' In a sweet gesture of encouragement, Billy posted in comments and on his own stories writing: 'My girl is getting good on that guitar. ❤️ Definitely doing my June. We be going to Jackson this fall!!!!' He then added: '@elizabethhurley is Hotter than a pepper sprout!' Famous friends flocked to Elizabeth's comment section, including her 23-year-old son Damian from a previous relationship, Lizzie Cundy and others writing: 'Aww love this ❤️❤️❤️' ... 'Love this ❤️' and 'It suits you so well' It comes after the country music singer has been writing 'sexy' love songs abouthis new lover. A source told the Daily Mail: 'His next album will include songs that are about Elizabeth for sure, he is definitely smitten with his new love and she has become his muse.' In her caption Elizabeth described Billy as 'patient' with her, whereas in a sweet gesture of encouragement, Billy said she was 'getting good' before adding that she was hotter than a pepper sprout 'Billy is always working on new music, but lately he has been doing even more love songs and it's clear why. He is very happy with Elizabeth, she is motivating him in a very big way. The songs are all about how she "heals" him and how sexy she is.' And the father of Miley Cyrus has also been teaching the Austin Powers actress how to sing like a Country Western songbird. The source added: 'He feels she can sing, that singing is in her future, and maybe even a duet with him.' The brunette beauty has sung in a movie before: with pal Patsy Kensit in the 1990 film Kill Cruise, where they performed the song You're Leaving Me. Hurley has appeared in music videos too. They were for Bryan Adams' song Never Let You Go and Adele's Send My Love (To Your New Lover).' Cyrus and Hurley have become serious ever since they went public on Easter after many years of friendship. Billy has already praised Elizabeth as a 'great human being'. They met while filming 2022's Christmas In Paradise. In a clip from The Ty Bentli Show, Cyrus said: 'We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there. We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot. 'The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different. 'If all we ever were [is] the friends that we are, I would take that. She's so impressively brilliant. She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She's a very smart businesswoman. 'If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.' While the pair met on the movie set, they didn't speak to each other for two years after shooting the film. But Elizabeth re-entered the crooner's life when he needed a friend, following his split from wife Firerose. He shared: 'I felt like, "Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?" For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment... a friend reached out.' Billy didn't recognise the number at first, so he texted Elizabeth back. He recalled: 'I text back, I go, "Who is this?" And it's like, "Elizabeth Hurley." Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most... this friend who made me laugh.' The Bedazzled star - - shocked fans when she announced she was dating the Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker.

This is a programme that I am seriously proud of.' Jayne Stanger, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: 'Following the Owen family's incredible work to renovate Anty John's has been such a joy and I'm over the moon we're able to continue the journey with two more series for More4. 'I can't wait to see how the amazing transformation of the farmhouse continues as well as enjoying the magnificent Yorkshire scenery we're treated to in every episode.' Series producer James Knight added: 'Watching the 11-strong Owen family pulling together to transform this wonderful old barn has been an incredible ride so far. 'We're so thrilled we'll be there to cover the next chapter. 'As work begins inside to turn its four walls into a home, Amanda will be digging deeper into Anty John's eye-opening back story, and we're looking forward to spending more glorious days at both Ravenseat and Anty John's.' Owen, who is known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, rose to fame for starring in the Channel 5 documentary series, Our Yorkshire Farm, which followed her and her family's life on Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, North Yorkshire.

Sandi Toksvig to hunt for undiscovered treasures in new archaeological series
The former Great British Bake Off presenter and comedienne will meet Britain's professional and amateur history hunters to capture the stories of treasures as they are unearthed for the first time in hundreds of years. Toksvig, 67, will be joined by archaeologist Raksha Dave and a team of experts excavating the sites and meeting local experts to help share the history of the most remarkable finds. The show, titled Sandi Toksvig's Hidden Wonders, will be aired in four parts, Channel 4 said. Toksvig said: 'This is the dream job for a history and archaeology enthusiast like me. 'It is a total privilege to be given access to professional archaeological dig sites and to join Raksha and the teams as they dig to reveal the history of our country from right beneath our feet.' Dave, an author and TV presenter, said: 'It's so wonderful to share this experience with Sandi. 'Together, we travel across the UK to join archaeological teams as they uncover astonishing stories from our collective past. 'We're both thrilled to bring archaeology back to the heart of Channel 4 – engaging audiences in a fun, approachable and compelling format that offers real insight into how people lived and the communities helping to rediscover their stories.' Production company Salamanda Media has been commissioned to make the series. In a second announcement on Friday, Channel 4 said the Rev Richard Coles will voyage around the British isles to four of the 31 areas mapped out by the shipping forecast, in a new series for More4. The broadcaster and writer will discover the beauty of estuaries, oceans, channels and coastlines and meet residents of the Faeroes, Lundy, Thames and Wight to learn about life at sea and by the waterside, during the series titled Sailing The Shipping Forecast. The 64-year-old said: 'For years I've listened to the shipping forecast with only half an idea of where these exotic-sounding places are. 'I'm very excited to be a part of this journey around the country and feel privileged to meet just some of the maritime communities of our coasts.' The four-part series has been commissioned by Channel 4 from Glasgow-based Strawberry Blond TV.
