One big happy ninja family: Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley take their children trick or treating

By EMILY SHERIDAN



Step-family bonding: Shane Warne and Liz Hurley take their children trick or treating for Halloween in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton



With Elizabeth Hurley's son Damian at boarding school most of the year, he hasn't been able to accompany his mother on her trips Down Under.

But following her engagement to Australian cricketer Shane Warne, the couple have been making sure their respective children get to know each other.

And what better way to bond than a family trick or treating outing near Warne's Sydney home.



The couple, Warne's son Jackson, 12, and eldest daughter Brooke, 14, and Hurley's son Damian, nine, all dressed as ninjas as they went door-knocking in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton.

But it looks like Warne's youngest daughter Summer, 10, wanted a bit a more feminine costume and dressed in a pink dressed and matching hairband.

Hurley's costume appeared to be a pair of leggings, Ugg boots, furry gilet and a ninja mask, while Warne, 42, was wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo fleece, jeans and soft Moccasin slippers.



No swords: The couple, who got engaged last month, were dressed head-to-toe in black



The couple, who have been dubbed 'The Shurleys' by the Australian press, posted a photo of themselves in this ninja costumes on Warne's Twitter page.

Earlier in the day, Hurley, 46, hinted at her costume, tweeting: 'Longing for a sword fight...'

Warne replied: 'Found some swords - let the battle begin. No tears please !!!!!!!

'What song should accompany EH & I in our ninja costumes? Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting !!!!!! Hahaha !!!!'

Spooky stuff: One of the local houses was covered in ghoulish decorations



Fortunately due to health and safety concerns, the couple didn't scare Brighton locals too much by bringing actual swords with them trick or treating.

Hurley and her son Damian - whose father is ex-boyfriend Steve Bing - arrived in Australia last week.

The Austin Powers star is making sure her son gets to know his future step-siblings following her engagement to Warne four weeks ago.

On Friday, the family headed to the Healesville Sanctuary, where Hurley looked nervous around the birds of prey.

Looking pasty: Brook cuddles up to Thom as her Hallowe'en party



Speaking about his fiancée on an Australian radio show last week, Warne said: 'Elizabeth is a wonderful lady and we make each other laugh most of the time. We have a lot of fun.'

And he said he always calls her Elizabeth, not Liz: '‘It’s more formal but she prefers that.'

Meanwhile, back in her native Britain a host of celebrities were getting into the Hallowe'en spirit.

A true hidden treasure: Amy Winehouse's secret album to be released months after her death

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



New songs: A collection of unheard material by the late Amy Winehouse is said to include a song about her ex Blake Fielder-Civil, left



She had been working on new material for years, trying to better smash hit record Back To Black.

And now a secret album of brand new songs by Amy Winehouse is being slated for release months after the 27-year-old's death.

Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures is said to contain original tracks as well as covers.

One song reportedly tells of cheating ex-husband Blake Fielder Civil while another was recorded while the singer was high on drugs.

The album also features a recording of jazz standard Body and Soul with Tony Bennett.



Previous hits: Winehouse's father Mitch said the album matched up to the singer's Frank, left, and Back To Black, right, records



Winehouse's father Mitch told The Sun the new material 'took my breath away.'

The 60-year-old added tearfully: 'I spent so much time chasing after Amy - telling her off - that I never realised what a true genius she was.'

He said the album would never have been released if the family had felt it wasn't up to the standard of his daughter's 2003 debut Frank and much celebrated second album Back To Black in 2006.

'We believe it will stand as a fitting tribute to her musical legacy,' Mitch added.

Producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson pulled the album together after listening back to thousands of hours of vocals by the star.

Remi said listening back to Winehouse's voice was an 'emotional' experience.

'I believe she has left something beyond her years,' he said.



Mitch and his partner Jane, leave a London Coroner's Court after hearing the singer was more than five times the drink-drive limit when she died



'She has put a body of work together that will inspire an unborn generation.'

The star was found dead in bed in her Camden flat in north London on the afternoon of Saturday 23 July this year.

Last week, an inquest heard the singer was more than five times the legal drink-drive limit when she died, but clear of illegal drugs.

The new album is said to be due for release in December. Money from each copy sold will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
