Liz Hurley is set to become the latest star to face a searching interview at the hands of Martin Bashir. The journalist has had a series of meetings with Liz and is said to have convinced her it would be a good career move.
The reporter first approached the Estee Lauder model last year, during her court battle with film producer Steve Bing. The Californian millionaire had denied being the father of her son Damian, but a DNA test later proved his paternity. Martin is especially interested in questioning her about her relationship with Bing and the paternity dispute that followed.
At first the actress declined Martin's proposal, but she has since agreed to meet with him to discuss it further. She is said to be one of a select few stars the renowned reporter wishes to interview. Other subjects he hopes to question include Mike Tyson and Madonna.
Martin is at the peak of his notoriety after his controversial interview with Michael Jackson, which was watched by 14 million Britons. He has built his reputation on the candid programs he has made with Princess Diana, Michael Barrymore and the Stephen Lawrence murder suspects.
