Hard work this, eh Liz?

Liz Hurley may look as though she is reclining on a Caribbean beach, but in fact she is working very hard - promoting her new swimwear line.

The 39-year-old actress is combining a photoshoot for the Elizabeth Hurley Beach Range with a holiday on the island of St Bart's, accompanied by her partner, Indian businessman Arun Nayar, who has encouraged her in the venture.

Hurley's gem-studded tunics, sarongs and bikinis will be available in London stores from April. She has also designed a range of lingerie featuring an "invisible" pair of knickers and bra.
