Elizabeth Hurley has apparently not paid the vicar who conducted her £3 million pound wedding, despite the paltry £800 fee.

When the 41-year-old married Indian millionaire Arun Nayar earlier this year in Gloucestershire then India, it was one of the most extravagant weddings in recent memory.

But according to the Daily Mail the pair forgot to pay Rev John Partington - although Elizabeth has told friends she posted the cheque weeks ago and can only assume it has got lost, the Daily Mirror reports.

But that hasn’t stopped the situation angering local residents. Morris Davies told the Mail: "A lot of locals are not very happy about her not paying the vicar. John has been very hush-hush about it but the rest of the village have been chatting about the cheek of it all."

Mr Partington refused to comment on the story, saying: "Any arrangements are a private matter."

Biography

Born on June 10 1965, in Hampshire, England, Elizabeth Hurley is the daughter of an army officer and an elementary schoolteacher mother.

At 21, Hurley got her first film role in the 1987 film Aria after having attended the London Studio Centre on scholarship. Hurley’s role in the film Remando al Viento that same year could be considered a crucial one, as it also starred her future boyfriend Hugh Grant.

However, despite acting and modelling jobs it was a certain safety pinned Versace frock that made Liz on of Britain’s most famous faces. She wore what would soon simply be called ’that dress’ to the premiere of Hugh’s breakthrough film Four Weddings and a Funeral. More attention followed when Estee Lauder signed Hurley to be the face of their cosmetics.

Although together for several years, even sticking together through the embarrassing Divine Brown incident, Hugh and Liz split in 2001 although they remain friends to this day. Liz had a brief fling with billionaire Steve Bing, during which she became pregnant with her son Damien. A very public battle occured during her pregnancy with Bing claiming that the child was not his. Liz found vindication when the child was born - not only was he the spit of Bing but a dna test proved without doubt what we could all see.

Liz is now engaged to Indian businessman Arun Nayer and their impending nuptuals have been the source of much speculation with several dates touted and even Hugh Grant has been suggested as Arun’s best man.

Meanwhile Liz’s career has taken a forward leap. Her acting credentials may be lousy (Bedazzled anyone?) and her stint as presenter of Project Catwalk might have been panned but the very British beauty has found her niche. Elizabeth Hurley Beach, her own range of beachwear has been flying off the shelves in the UK and US while her Estee Lauder job goes from strength to strength.

Liz splits her time between Ampney Crucis in the Cotswolds and California.
