Liz Hurley’s fear after fireball burnt her beau’s hand

Elizabeth Hurley was left terrified when her husband narrowly escaped a fireball in the grounds of their home.

The model/actress and beau Arun Nayar had prepared to light a bonfire at their country farm in Gloucestershire last year (09) when an unexpected kerosene blast singed the Indian businessman’s hair and burned his hand.

Hurley quickly rushed him to hospital for treatment – and was at ease when surgeons informed Nayar would suffer no permanent injury.

“It was a terrifying accident and Arun was very lucky that he had an excellent burns specialist and didn”t end up scarred,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling the Evening Standard.

She added: “He now regularly steals my ‘Creme de la Mer’ (skin cream), which he claims helped his skin to heal so beautifully.”
