MELBOURNE: Aussie legend Shane Warne has found himself a new bride, but this time his walk down the aisle will be as a part of a TV series.
The retired cricketer makes a guest appearance in a hit Aussie comedy show, Kaith and Kim, in which he will marry one of the characters in the next series, reported the Sydney Confidential.
The former leg spinner shot for the episode on Monday after enjoying a holiday with his divorced wife Simone and kids. Warne has been trying to win back his estranged spouse after retiring from cricket. Simone had divorced Warne after several of his affairs came to light last year.
In the TV series, Warne will wed Sharon Strezlecki, played by a local star, Magda Szubanski, after she wins the “dream man” from her best friend. The character from whom Strezlecki wins Warne over said the wedding is “a dream come true for Shane!”
“He’s really lucky to have met a couple of foxymorons like us,” said Sharon. Looking suave and dapper, Shane Warne wore a white suit for the shooting and attracted lot of attention from onlookers.
The producers of the show were keen to keep Warne’s appearance a closely guarded secret but were forced to reveal it during the shooting after passersby recognised the cricketing legend.
