Forget Sex in the City, says Liz Hurley

It's official - the countryside is sexy.

Far sexier than the city, in fact, according to actress, model and rural devotee Liz Hurley.

According to Liz - who recently made an appearance at Cirencester Farmers Market selling sausages from the Gloucester Old Spot pigs on her estate - the English countryside is simply far 'sexier' than London.

"I wouldn't mind betting that there's less sex in the city than there is in the country because it's just well, sexier here," she says in a piece for Tatler's June issue.

"When I close my eyes and think of England, I'm not in a fancy restaurant in Knightsbridge, but am instead lolling, scantily clad, in front of a roaring fire, surrounded by four labradors and Rupert Campbell-Black,' she added, referring to one of author Jilly Cooper's characters.

That's an image I quite like. Although I could probably do without the labradors. And Rupert Campbell-Black.
