Look out, Liz, you've left a button done up! Hurley only just maintains her modesty as she wears a dangerously low-cut silk shirt on daytime TV

She’s a raunchy, cleavage baring Queen consort in new drama The Royals, and Elizabeth Hurley appeared to be playing to type on Tuesday with an equally revealing appearance on This Morning.

The 49-year-old actress was on hand to talk about her latest role with Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden, but she almost spilled out of her top after taking a seat opposite the two co-hosts.

With the top buttons of her blue silk blouse left casually open, Elizabeth displayed extreme cleavage after entering the ITV studio on a red carpet rolled to mark her arrival.

The actress completed her look with a pair of skin-tight leather trousers that accentuated her toned legs, while matching stiletto heels rounded things off.

Referring to her new role as villainous Queen Helena, Elizabeth admitted she drew inspiration for the character from an diverse range of influences.

‘Maybe Joan Collins was my inspiration… I was inspired a little by her part in Dynasty, so I pulled a little bit from her but also I tried to think ‘what would Princess Diana maybe have looked like had she become our Queen and was Queen today?’ she said.
