HIS conversion to trim, designer-dressed metrosexual shocked the nation but Shane Warne insists he is still an average couch potato who loves nothing more than watching TV in his trackies - as does his wife-to-be.
The spin king has hit back at suggestions that he and Liz Hurley live like "lord and lady of the manor'' in their recently purchased $9.4 million country pile in England, with its 13 bedrooms, five bathrooms and private lake.
"Elizabeth and I bought a nice house,'' he told News Ltd.
"I'm not King Warne sitting in a big chair. I still lie on the couch in my tracksuit pants and watch the telly.''
Warne said people related to him because he was "just like them'' and Hurley was the same: "She loves wearing her tracksuit pants and Ugg boots.''
Shane Warne credits Elizabeth Hurley with his new look, saying she keeps him away from junk food and feeds him "meat and steamed vegetables''.
Hurley's work with Estee Lauder and extensive beauty routine has also seen Warne take more of an interest in personal grooming.
He's developing his own men's skin care range, a fashion range and a line of Spinners underwear.
He said the couple intend to marry next year, although there's "nothing locked in.''
Warne said his children from his first marriage to Simone - Brooke, Jackson and Summer spend 140 days a year with him.
He'd love to have more time with his children but says that would be unfair on their mother.
The interview comes ahead of Warne's return to cricket on Friday, captaining the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League season opener against Melbourne Renegades.
Warne said he was back on top form. After a recent practice session he came to the realisation: "That's the best the ball has come out of my hand since I retired from international cricket five years ago.''
