The closeness between actress Liz Hurley and her son Damian is such that she admits to being ‘comfortable’ and feeling ‘liberated’ while filming a lesbian sex scene for his directorial debut, Strictly Confidential.
The pair put on a united front as they made a family-friendly appearance at the New York screening of the racy mystery thriller.
They were joined by her ex-husband, Arun Nayar, 59, right, who married Hurley when Damian was five. While his biological dad was the late American film producer Steve Bing, Damian regarded Nayar as a father figure.
‘Arun is Damian’s daddy and a very good one too,’ Liz has said.

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood surprised his fans when he unveiled his portrait of the late Queen for her 96th birthday.
Now he’s passed on his tips to his artist daughter, Leah, on how to do the perfect picture of the monarch.
She said: ‘I did a portrait of the Queen when she died. I showed the picture to my dad and asked him what he thought.
‘He told me,”You need to work on the eyes a bit more.” So, I started working on the eyes and she started to take shape.
‘I was like, “Oh my god! He’s absolutely right. That is The Queen!”‘

Dame Darcey Bussell almost died while giving birth to her daughter Phoebe, now 22, who was delivered two months early.
The former Strictly judge, 54, says the trauma of the labour still affects her. ‘It doesn’t leave you,’ she tells me at a party in London. ‘When you’re in a neonatal ward, it’s very alarming. Parents beside these babies that don’t look like they have enough strength to survive.
‘It’s a very scary place and it’s a world you don’t appreciate even exists.’

I hear pop star Ed Sheeran has given his plans to build a full-size football pitch on his sprawling £3.75million estate in Suffolk the red card.
A source tells me: ‘The footie goals and dugouts are no more. Nature has now taken over the pitch and it has been allowed to rewild.’ The move will surely be welcomed by Ed’s wife Cherry Seaborn, who works as a sustainability advocate.
Sheeranville, as it’s known, still boasts five dwellings including a two-storey treehouse and a pub.

SILENT BUT DEADLY: Skincare guru Amanda Cronin has had enough of Ulez-compliant boy racers causing havoc in her beloved Belgravia. ‘It is quite scary,’ she tells me. ‘You get the electric cars speeding and you can’t hear them which makes them even more dangerous. I’ve been very close to getting run over on several occasions.’

SWEET DREAMS: Model Martha Sitwell appeared to be jumping on the bandwagon for wearing silk PJs at parties. She reassures me: ‘I don’t follow trends, I set them. This is a £400 vintage suit from Constantine Rex.’

His Coronation was less than a year ago, since when he has been diagnosed with cancer. But that hasn’t prevented the King from pulling off something of a coup for the King’s Foundation — formerly, the Prince’s Foundation.
I can disclose he’s just recruited a remarkable former Royal Marine, General Sir Gordon Messenger, to be one of its directors. ‘He’s outstanding,’ an ally of Messenger, who was twice decorated with the DSO, tells me. ‘It was a great failure not to make him Chief of the Defence Staff. Gordon Messenger is a real warrior.
‘Mercifully, there are still people like him around.’
