Elizabeth Hurley & Hugh Grant taking music and cookery together?

Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant are taking cookery, music and language classes together.

The former couple who dated for 13 years until 2000 and are now close friends are incredibly competitive with one another and love tackling new skills and seeing who comes out the most accomplished.

“We are currently taking cooking, Italian and guitar lessons together and argue ferociously over who is more advanced,” Elizabeth said.

And while the 45-year-old beauty who has a nine-year-old son Damian from her relationship with Steve Bing thinks she has the upper hand when it comes to making delicious dishes and tuneful melodies she admits Hugh beats her when it comes to learning a different tongue.

“In my opinion I am streets ahead in cooking, slightly less cack-handed at the guitar but begrudgingly agree his Italian is a whisper better,” she said.

“I still can’t say much more than ‘tagliatelle’ and ‘cappuccino’.”

Elizabeth who recent filed for divorce from husband Arun Nayar added that although the pair can often be seen warring with one another they always make up because they have so much fun together.

“I completely consider him one of my family and love spending time with him, even though we annoy each other at times,” she said.

“We rarely get through a day without fighting, but we always end up laughing.”
