Elizabeth Hurley hasn't been to the gym "for decades".

The 60-year-old star is known for her enviable figure but explained that her exercise comes through the gardening she does at her Herefordshire home.

Elizabeth told Hello! magazine: "I haven't set foot in a gym for decades and don't work out per se, but I'm very active by nature and rarely sit still.

"When I'm at home, I spend all day wrestling my garden into submission, so by default, I bend, stretch and lift things all day long."

The Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery actress added: "I have a tool shed for which only I have a key, full of my 'lady tools'. My favourite is a mini leaf-blower that Joan Collins and her husband gave me. I use it every day."

Hurley often posts bikini pictures of herself on social media and revealed that she has spent much of this summer in her swimwear.

She said: "My whole life, I've been happiest in jeans and a T-shirt, but this summer has been so hot that I've spent most days in a bikini. Luckily, I have a warehouse full of them."

Elizabeth also revealed that she dreams of working with director Guy Ritchie on a project and has a movie of her own in the pipeline.

The Bedazzled star: "I absolutely loved The Gentlemen and would love to be in a Guy Ritchie show. I was also obsessed with Yellowstone and would love to work with Taylor Sheridan.

"I'm developing a movie in which I play an ordinary woman who's forced to turn feral to protect her daughter, and I like the way it's shaping up."

Hurley started dating Achy Breaky Heart singer Billy Ray Cyrus earlier this year and revealed that he is teaching her how to play the guitar, even though she is "appalling" at it at the moment.

She said: "I've been in England all summer for the first time ever and have loved every moment. Billy is teaching me to play the guitar; right now I'm appalling but I'm hoping to improve!"
