Hugh Grant 'fantastic in bed'

London - Model Liz Hurley has dismissed
claims that she found sex with her former lover, actor Hugh
Grant, "less than adequate" before they ended their 13-year
relationship, saying he was a "fantastic" lover. The US women's magazine Jane had quoted Hurley as saying
that the floppy-haired star of British blockbuster films Four
Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill used to turn her off
when he switched on the television in bed. But in an interview in Thursday's edition of Britain's
mass-circulation Sun tabloid, 35-year-old Hurley -- who shot to
fame in the two Austin Powers films and as a model for a
major cosmetics house - denied she had said anything hurtful
about their sex life. "Hugh Grant is fantastic in bed - he always has been,"
Hurley, who still shares a house with Grant in London's
fashionable Chelsea district, told the paper. "We don't even have a television in our bedroom. (The
article) makes me look spiteful and nasty and I'm not," she
added. One of Britain's most glamorous celebrity couples,
39-year-old Grant and Hurley announced in May they had put
their 13-year-old romance on hold. Hurley stole the spotlight from Grant at the premiere of
Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 with a revealing Versace
dress made largely of safety pins. But she really hit the headlines when he was arrested in
1995 during an encounter with a Los Angeles prostitute,
prompting a short "cooling off" in the romance.
