The British tabloid newspaper 'Sunday Mirror' reported that Warne had bedded 26-year-old Chloe Conrad in the same presidential-type suite at London's Bentley Hotel where he and 45-year-old mother of one Hurley later spent two nights.

The 41-year-old Warne and London-based Australian Conrad were put in touch by a mutual friend. At a time when the flirtation between Hurley and Warne was well advanced, the cricketer was busy sending lewd text messages to Conrad, according to the report.

"If Liz thinks he has changed, she's sorely mistaken. On the night he was with Liz at the Bentley he was sending texts to me. I never for a second thought I was the only woman.

Everyone knows Shane is not the ideal guy to settle down with. Liz is a lot older than me and should be wiser," Conrad was quoted as saying by the tabloid.

Conrad described how Warne was desparate to meet her in a London hotel after she asked him for a meeting.

"Let me know if you want to party in London one night," Conrad texted Warne.

He responded in just over a minute.

"Hey Chloe, only one night??? Ha ha ha I'm ... busy till Monday ... But in town for three weeks, be great to catch up."

Warne told Conrad how excited he was after receiving the messages sent at take-off on his flight to the UK, and when he landed.

When Conrad later suggested she might bring a friend along, Warne replied, "Can't wait Chloe!! Look forward to it Let's party!!! I have royal suite at the hotel so should be fun."

But Warne was also keen to ensure the meeting would be discreet, texting, "PS just want to check something with you Chloe, hope you don't mind. It can be our secret yeah? Between us?."

Conrad also claimed that she was left with a scar on her back from carpet burn that she now calls her "Warnie stamp" after their meeting at the hotel.

She added that hours before Warne dined out with Hurley and her ex-husband, film star Hugh Grant, the cricketer sent her six texts.
