Jemima Khan is keeping Hugh Grant away from Elizabeth Hurley’s wedding!

London, Jan 7: One person who is almost sure to be absent from Elizabeth Hurley’s extravagant five-day Indian wedding is her former partner of 13-years Hugh Grant.

As to what is keeping Grant, who is still on great terms with Hurley, away from the wedding, well it seems that his current lady love Jemima Khan is the woman pulling the strings that are holding him back.

Jemima and Hurley’s relationship is nothing less than acidic, and the heiress has reportedly confided to pals that she would 'rather eat her left arm', than attend the ‘Bedazzled’ star’s big day.

A pal revealed that since Jemima and Hurley’s dislike for each other knows no bounds, there isn’t any doubt that the heiress’ presence will be a no-show. What’s left to be seen, however, is whether Grant will be able to make it to the nuptials.

"Elizabeth and Jemima hate each other so there's no way Jemima would go. Elizabeth has spent New Year in India making sure all the plans are in place. She'll be pretty miffed if Hugh doesn't come because they are still great friends but I'm sure she's mature enough to understand the situation," the Daily Mail quoted the pal, as saying.
