In their first joint interview, Shane Warne and Liz Hurley have revealed the pet names they call each other.

In the interview with Hello!, the couple – who admit they are an unlikely match – said Warne is known as “Big Blond,” while Hurley is known as “Luna.”

“Elizabeth calls me a lot more than just the Big Blond – she has dozens of names for me, all of them too embarrassing to share,” Shane said. “I have a handful for her, too, but I usually call her Luna as there was a terrible paparazzi picture of her once looming in to kiss me, which reminded me of the massive mouth at the entrance of Luna Park, the Australian theme park.”

Forty-two-year-old Warne and 46-year-old Hurley also said they will probably tie the knot next year, with celebrations in both the UK and Australia. “We are very mindful of the fact that our loved ones live at opposite ends of the world,” Shane said

    I have no pet names for my husband but he calls me “Squib”. Not sure why but he always has and it has stuck. He also calls me “Ads” sometimes. If he calls me by my full name I know he is going to say something serious. I used to call my baby boy “chubba bubba” because he was. He still is a bit but thankfully I have broken the habit because it isn’t the most flattering name for a child! (For anyone wondering he is a healthy weight just very solid)

    Does having a pet name for certain parts of his anatomy count?

    I’ve got used to them after my initial disbelief and shock. Now I think they’re cute.

    When I love him dearly, it’s Darling/ Babe / Superman. When he does something to annoy me it’s FlippyDick.

    God, my husband’s and my pet name for each oher. We called each other ‘sweetie’ which is not so out there. But over time it morphed in to ‘sweedie’ then ‘smeedie’ and now, finally: ‘smeedie weedie’. He even called me ‘smeedie weedie’ during our wedding vows which was really embarassing but made everyone laugh :)

    One of my ex’s pet names for me was ‘porrto’, because that’s what his phone’s predictive text spat out when he tried to type ‘possum’ and it stuck.

      Couldn’t agree more.
      I dropped a glass, and broke it.
      So while I was cleaning our daughter, Hubby vaccumed the floor to make sure there was none left. I found a fragment asnd joked “Next time you clean H, and I will vacuum” Well…. Oh my!!! He says to me “Well, maybe if you weren’t picking up pieces from the dustpan and putting them on the floor” Then he was like “F**k it” and childishly took the movie off pause, like that was supposed to bother me, I have seen it a million times!!!!
      Then, because we are trying to get our girl off the bottle, she went to tell him “No more Mi Mi after tea” and instead of listening to what she is ACTUALLY saying, he goes to her “NO! You can’t have it till after tea” All she wanted was a biut of praise, and it really upset her, and made her cry.
      God he is such an ass.
      He reckons he has been in all these (mkade up) fights and stuff. But no way. He muttered something under his breath like a God damn baby, then when I asked him what he said, he goes “I didn’t say anything” and I am supposed to be the childish one!!!
      He obviously has no balls to speak of.
      he doesn’t even defend me to his mother, because he is too much of a Mummy’s boy, and she is horrible to me!

      Apologies for the rant…. lol.

    I was Megsie and my now ex-husband was Hun. Now he’s Shithead. I don’t know what he and his girlfriend call each other, but give her time and she’ll come up with something colourful for him. Leopard – spots.
