Is that a baby bump, Liz? Well she did say she'd like kids as soon as possible...

Updated 10:38am on 8 Mar 2007


Addressing her wedding guests last weekend, Elizabeth Hurley announced that she would like to have children with husband Arun Nayar as soon as possible.

Yesterday her friends were wondering if she had already made a start.

Shortly after landing in Jodhpur ahead of the couple's Hindu marriage blessing there tomorrow, she showed off what might well have been the beginnings of a bump beneath a clinging floral print dress.

Of course, it is quite possible that after dieting to get into that fabulous Versace wedding gown, the slight tum is the result of post-wedding food and drink.

But during the wedding celebration at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire, she spoke gleefully of the prospect of further children, saying: "We would love to add to our family and (my son) Damian would love some siblings."

Mr Nayar added: "Of course we would love to have a baby. Elizabeth wants twin boys."

Hello! magazine, with whom the bride and groom signed a lucrative deal, reported that Sir Elton's speech in her honour went: "You could have made some rash decisions in your life, Elizabeth, but you decided to follow your instincts and play your intelligent card ... as I told you earlier, you have made the right decision and you have waited for the right man to marry."

The comments might easily be taken to refer to Hugh Grant.

Miss Hurley stood by the actor when he was arrested and fined for lewd conduct with Hollywood hooker Divine Brown in 1995 midway through their 13-year relationship.

And it was to Sudeley Castle that she reportedly bolted when that story broke. At the wedding she said of the castle: "I've laughed and cried a lot at Sudeley and for me, it is the most special place."

Intriguingly, while in India Miss Hurley has been seen partying with Imran Khan, former husband of Jemima, who has just become another of Grant's ex-girlfriends.

My tummy looks like that every day and it is not a baby in there, just food.

Charlotte Church didn't need to break the news early, she could have just said nothing. Just another british 21 year old having a baby, unfortunately par for the course in this country.

No wonder women feel pressure to be thin - the poor lady has 1 day where a picture taken at an angle makes it look like she has a 'slight bump' and you accuse her of being preggers.

I think she must have known that wearing such a tight fitting dress around her midrift would cause press speculation. It's all part and parcel of living your life in the public eye.

Leave her alone! Charlotte Church has already had to break her baby news early because of Press speculation. Imagine knowing everyone is speculating on you being pregnant and then having a miscarriage - it can only increase the pain. Let celebrity ladies tell the world their joy when they're good and ready, like the rest of us do.
