Hurley and baby leave hospital

Liz Hurley and her new-born baby Damian left hospital tonight, five days after she gave birth.

The model and actress slipped out of the private Portland hospital in London where she had been recovering following a Caesarean operation.

Hurley, 36, had been expected to stay in the hospital for another couple of days but was understood to have left via a back exit tonight.

Earlier in the day, friends left her home in London’s South Kensington carrying a number of black bags.

Hurley is rumoured to have negotiated a £1.5 million deal with a glossy magazine for the first exclusive pictures of baby Damian.
