The dirt continues to be dished out against British actress and model Liz Hurley after her break-up with Indian husband Arun Nayar. The latest salvo to be fired against her comes from a Rev John Partington, the vicar of the St Mary’s Church in the picture-postcard Winchcombe village, Gloucestershire, where the couple got married in March 2007. Liz had Sir Elton John in the front pew and the actress Patsy Kensit reading a lesson during the wedding ceremony.
But now the Rev Partington claims he’s still waiting for the swimwear designer to cough up the £1,000 she promised for the upkeep of the medieval church! The practise of the church is to invoice couples whose marriages have been blessed there. And it has never had anyone who hasn’t paid before. In Liz’s case, though, they didn’t send an invoice because it was all “arranged as a gentleman’s agreement”.
A church spokesperson told the London press, “Everyone is absolutely shocked and disgusted that nothing has been paid after all this time. These things are beneath her, I suppose.” Apparently, parishioners had expected a donation to be forthcoming within weeks of the Liz-Arun nuptials.
