Shane Warne has been snapped leaving Elizabeth Hurley's West London home cutting a decidedly slimmer figure.

The photo will fuel recent speculation Hurley - famed for her own strict fitness habits - is responsible for shaping a new look for the former cricketer.

Since coupling up with 46-year-old Hurley last year, Warne's appearance has been the subject of much debate.

Warne was recently accused of undergoing plastic surgery in search of a more youthful appearance only to reveal he had been using moisturisers.

He also rubbished rumours he was using Botox.

Warne recently said he had embarked on a new training program resulting in an 11-kilogram weight loss.

He denied Hurley was behind his change in appearance, writing on Twitter: "I have always taken pride in my appearance and an attack on EH is unfair. I’m proud of how I look and worked my butt off for 4 months."

Just weeks ago Hurley defended Warne against claims he wears lip gloss and eyeliner.

"SW does not wear eye makeup or have an 'eye liner tattoo'... his eyes were born that way!" she tweeted.

"Neither does he wear lip gloss fyi hacks in gossip press; he'd prob just given me a kiss & got a bit of mine."

"And re 'looking different', you try losing 25lbs and see if you do!"

Warne was famously sent home from cricket's 2003 World Cup after testing positive to a banned substance.

He later claimed his positive test resulted from a diuretic his mother had given him to help him shed weight.

Warne is widely regarded as one of the most influential bowlers of all time and sits first on the list of all-time wicket-takers for Australia.
