Elizabeth Hurley has taken on a surprising new role – that of a ᴅᴇᴀᴅ person in a new Channel 4 reality series. 

The actress, 59, will appear alongside Rob Rinder in the upcoming show which sees thirteen strangers are summoned to a grand stately home. 

They are there to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased, a fabulously glamourous benefactor played by Elizabeth. 

But winning the money won’t be easy. The Deceased had a wicked sense of humour and has designed a mischievous game to ensure only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance.

Overseeing the stipulations of The Deceased’s will is her Executor and trusted legal counsel, Good Morning Britain regular Robert Rinder.

‘It’s a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene,’ Elizabeth said.

Rob added: ‘This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 

‘As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check – more or less – and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.’

It comes after Eizabeth and her boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus appear to be taking their relationship to the next level. 

While headlining the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s H๏τ Pink Party in New York City on May 13, the Bedazzled star said the move would come in conjunction with her upcoming 60th birthday. 

‘He should be in England for my birthday. He’ll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it’ll be lovely,’ she told Hello! magazine. 

The eternal beauty told the outlet she doesn’t mind getting older.

‘I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it’s a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it,’ she explained.

The couple shocked their fans when they revealed they were together, sharing a Sєxy snap on Easter day.

‘Billy’s a lovely man and we make each other very happy,’ she told DailyMail.com at the same event.

Since then, the Then Came You star has provided glimpses into their life on the country singer’s sprawling Nashville farm, including a recent sunset ride, on social media.

She revealed the true depth of her feelings for Billy, 63, while sharing a very loved-up snap of them to Instagram earlier this month.

The model revealed it’s true love as she took to the comments sharing a black heart emoji before writing ‘you xx’.

Hurley and Cyrus met when they were working on 2022’s Christmas in Paradise. 

‘Billy Ray Cyrus was an absolute hoot,’ Hurley told the Boston Herald in an interview promoting the comedy.

The two met while starring in  2022’s Christmas in Paradise. Cyrus, 63, revealed Hurley had reached out to him sometime after his divorce from Firerose in August 2024 

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy,’ the singer said on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show

The friendship seemed to turn into something more after the Strictly Confidential star  reached out to her former co-star after his divorce from ex Firerose in 2024.  

In early April, Hurley dropped a big clue about the romance when she uploaded a reel of herself on Instagram frolicking on the beach with Cyrus’s ‘She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore playing beneath it and tagging the singer. 

The country crooner opened up about the new relationship on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show.

‘It’s great that God brought them into my life when he did. It’s just a good thing. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy,’ he said.
