Liz Hurley pregnant?

Rumours that Hurley and her Indian businessman hubby Arun Nayar will soon be welcoming their first child together into the family started off when she stepped out in clothes looser around the middle! Elizabeth Hurley has added fuel to pregnancy rumours by pulling out of a shoot for a vodka company. The ‘Bedazzled’ star was supposed to take a few dummy sips of the liquor, but decided not to go ahead with the shoot, a source revealed. "Liz was expected to take a few dummy swigs. It would have been irresponsible," the Mirror quoted the source, as saying. The British beauty has a penchant for form hugging numbers but she recently put in an appearance at a charity gig in a black outfit that was wider round the waist. Mum-of-one Hurley has made no secret of the fact that she would love to have another baby. What also fuelled rumours was the fact that Hurley seems to have put on a little weight.

"She was carrying extra pounds. Arun was especially attentive. Guests started to whisper that she might be pregnant," the Mirror quoted one onlooker, as saying.
