'Still landing them nicely!': Shane Warne's fans go into MELTDOWN after playboy Spin King, 47, shares a photo from his 'date' with Big Brother UK star and lingerie model Sara McLean, 25

Fans of playboy cricketer Shane Warne have gone into meltdown after he posted an Instagram photo of his 'date' with former Big Brother UK star Sara McLean.

The night out with the lingerie model - who is half his age - appeared innocent enough, but that didn't stop social media users applauding Shane's 'achievement'.

Shane, 47, beamed with pride in the picture as he held Sara by the waist in a friendly embrace and praised the busty brunette for 'rocking her black dress'.

The cricket legend wrote: 'Thank you to my gorgeous friend Sara McLean for attending the Dunhill Links Championship dinner with me tonight.

'My shirt's to tight, but Sara is rocking her black dress hahaha,' he added.

Although Sara was last reported to be engaged to former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, fans still took the opportunity to show their support.

'Still landing them nicely,' read one playful comment, which was followed by a string of jokes about Shane's cricketing skills - and his ladies' man reputation.

The sporting innuendo didn't cease there, as another follower commented: 'Hope you win the toss, so you can bat first here.'

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Shane and Sara are romantically involved. 

The pair dressed up for their night out, with Shane sporting a black suit, tie and 'tight' white shirt.

Meanwhile, Sara wore a slinky black dress admired by fans and Shane alike, which flaunted her slender figure and ample bosom.

The former reality TV star opted to wear her hair out for the event and smiled beside Shane as they posed in the front lobby of the event.

The Scottish-born beauty rose to fame on Big Brother UK in 2012, after placing second in the Miss Scotland Pageant the previous year.

The 25-year-old met US footballer Tim Howard at a party almost four years ago and was last photographed with him in Florida last year.

Although she has been pigeonholed a WAG, Sara previously told The Scottish Sun: 'I never like to be dependent on anyone.'

Meanwhile, the friendly photo was posted as Shane revealed his famed success with women came from just 'being himself.'

He also told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that he is proud to still be friends with his former partners, including ex-fiancée Liz Hurley.

'Just because a relationship doesn't work, doesn't mean someone did the wrong thing,' he said.
