Shane Warne says he's hopeful of reconciliation with Liz Hurley Shane Warne at Melbourne Airport. SHANE Warne and Liz Hurley are working to save their relationship and have not broken up, according to friends of the cricket great. But the pair continued to send mixed messages. Hurley was photographed in London for the second day running looking sombre and without her sapphire engagement ring. Warne jetted out of Melbourne for the English capital, as confidants insisted the couple, dubbed "Shurley," would reconcile. Arriving at Melbourne Airport with his children, Warne remained coy. "We are going to have a good time," he said. We are going to be away for ages. Earlier, a source close to Warne said he was confident he could patch things up. The constant travel and work commitments for both Elizabeth and Shane are taking their toll. They have not been able to spend much time together, but they are going to try and work things out. And the source denied rumours Warne's ex-wife, Simone Callahan, had any involvement in any problems, saying the pair had only a "civil" relationship that revolved around their three children. Betting agencies are weighing in: Sportsbet offered odds of $1.25 for a permanent separation. At the beginning of the week, Warne and Hurley were $1.85 to join the celebrity couple scrap heap. The couple's more than 1.3 million Twitter followers were also on the lookout for clues, but were greeted with uncharacteristic silence. The pair, known for their very public expressions of affection on Twitter, had posted nothing since Hurley's apology to "loyal followers" for keeping quiet: "Too raw & personal to share right now." Warne's most recent tweet was to condemn reports of a relationship breakdown as "absolute rubbish." Yes, we're sorting through some (private) issues. But we're not throwing the towel in yet," he wrote on Wednesday. Just a day after cancelling a press conference with his charity, the Shane Warne Foundation, Warne flew out of Melbourne for the UK. Hurley, 48, hinted at the first signs of trouble a fortnight ago, when she tweeted: "The more I know of man, the more I love my dog." And she ignored - at least on Twitter - Warne's 44th birthday last Friday.
