Elizabeth Hurley joins Chace Crawford on the Upper East Side to film new Gossip Girl role

She hasn't made too many memorable marks on the acting world recently, preferring to concentrate more on her modelling and fashion career.

But Elizabeth Hurley seemed to fit right in today as she stepped out on to the New York set of Gossip Girl in the guise of her glamorous character Diana Payne.

And the star was looking much younger than her 46 years as she filmed a scene with actor Chace Crawford.

With her long brown hair highlighted, she looked stunning in a sleeveless scarlet red dress, nude heels and a designer beige bag, while Crawford, 25 wore a more casual checked shirt and jeans.

At one point, the actor, who plays blue blooded Nate Archibald in the show, looked focussed as he filmed an intense-looking scene with Hurley.

The actress cut a striking figure in the low cut dress, which also showed off her long slim legs.

Earlier the pair were spotted looking more relaxed as they rehearsed the scene, dressed in casual clothes.

They both clutched scripts and laughed and chatted as they stood together on the New York side walk.

Elizabeth still looked stylish in the casual ensemble which included oversized sunglasses, a peach camisole and jeans.

It was recently announced that she would be joining the teen cast for several episodes on the forthcoming fifth series of the show.

TV Line.com reported that executive producers Stephanie Savage and Joshua Safran have said Hurley's character is ‘a sexy, smart, self-made media mogul and all-around force to be reckoned with.

‘Diana’s entrance on the Upper East Side will change the lives of all our characters - including, and especially Gossip Girl herself,' they said.

‘Elizabeth’s sense of humour, intelligence and beauty fit the GG world perfectly. We feel very fortunate to have her.’

A few days ago,Hurley tweeted her excitement at joining the cast, which also include stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.

'Reading my script for Gossip Girl, episode 1, season 5,' she wrote. 'Can't give anything away but it's FAB! Can't wait to shoot it.'

However, she seemed to be finding the temperatures a little too much too take.

Earlier today, she wrote: 'New York was fiendishly hot yesterday-bit better today. Gorgeous though.'

The actress and model is currently dating Australian cricketer Shane Warne who she met last July at the Goodwood festival.

And Elizabeth's latest role may add some pressure to an-already tricky long distance relationship.

She told Grazia magazine: 'The biggest problem is we're 23 hours apart. It's a challenge. We'll see what happens.'
