Hugh Grant's glamorous former girlfriend Liz Hurley was on hand to support his latest film.

The pair - who dated for 13 years and split in 2000 - met the crowds at the premiere of Did You Hear About The Morgans? in London's Leicester Square.

Support: Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar attended the event

And Hurley, 44, who attended with husband Arun Nayar, may have even upstaged fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker - who also stars in the film - in the dress stakes with a figure-hugging pink and red number.

But Parker also turned heads in a strapless pink mini dress designed by L'Wren Scott, paired with towering Charlotte Olympia heels, as she walked the red carpet last night with co-star Hugh Grant.

Hundreds of fans, many brandishing Sex And The City memorabilia, gathered to see the stars and collect autographs.

In the film, Grant and Parker play a successful Manhattan couple whose marriage is dissolving.

After they witness a murder, police force them to move together to a tiny Wyoming town for their protection.

Red carpet: Hugh Grant at the premiere of Did You Hear About The Morgans?

Parker said it was "easy" to work with Grant, adding: "I adore him. He makes me laugh. I am not unique.

"A romantic comedy working with Hugh Grant - what fool would say no?"

Grant said the actress was "exceptionally nice".
He added: "She's not at all actressy or Hollywood or starry, she's just a good egg and funny."

It is the third time Grant has starred in a movie directed by Marc Lawrence.

The actor said of the writer and director: "I think he's a genius comedic writer, he's always got a kind of innocence to his stuff, which appeals to me."

Also on the red carpet was Lawrence, his daughter Gracie, who has a role in the film, and actor Sam Elliott.
