SHANE Warne has lashed out against rumours he has split with Liz Hurley, calling them "absolute rubbish".

Earlier, Elizabeth Hurley also used a tweet to break her silence over the apparent split, apologising to her followers on the social networking site.

"Apologies to loyal followers for Twitter silence on recent events. Too raw & personal to share right now," Hurley said.

Initial reaction to the pair's tweets have been sympathetic.

''You should not have to share like you said it's personal to you and your family. It's no one business. x,'' @Swallis1970 responded to Hurley's tweet.

''None of our business. Relationships are hard enough without worrying about what the media is saying,'' @moreGaryFrank tweeted back to Warne.

Warnie  found a supporter in Delta Goodrem's ex fiance, Brian Mcfadden, who responded: ''f*#@ the begrudgers. Good luck to you pal x ''

Hurley has also stepped out without her engagement ring as rumours of a split with Warne refuse to disappear.

While the pair have not confirmed they've parted ways, The Sun reports the romance is definitely over - and Warne's ex-wife Simone Callahan is behind the split.

Friends have reportedly told the British newspaper that Hurley, 48, grew tired of him "getting cosy with her again".

"Liz found out he had been over at Simone's house a lot," the source said.

"It is felt now the kids are getting older, they need their dad around. Liz couldn't ever handle Shane and Simone still being best friends."

Warne proposed to Hurley with a stunning blue sapphire ring in September 2011.

The engagement came after he declared in December 2010 that his marriage to Callahan was over.

A sombre looking Hurley was seen without the sparkler on her finger outside her North London home yesterday.

Earlier this morning, Warne cancelled a Cricket Victoria press conference in Melbourne at the eleventh hour.

Warne had been due to announce a partnership with his charity the Shane Warne Foundation and Cricket Victoria but cancelled two hours before the launch.

Hey guys apologies about today & the late notice everyone ! See you November 13 at the "G"we are all pumped & excitedhttp://t.co/2zzCd26sa1

The Shane Warne Foundation sent out a media releasing saying that the event was cancelled due to "scheduling conflicts of our new ambassadors and unavailability of some of our guests".

Journalists have previously been warned not to ask questions about the cricket great's rumoured romance troubles.

The newspaper adds that Shane has not yet moved back in with Simone but has been spending a lot of time at the family home.

Rumours of a split were initially sparked when the prolific tweeters had not tweeted each other in over three weeks.
