She's got an age-defying body, looks to die for and an impressive acting career to boot.

But Elizabeth Hurley proved she was the full package on Sunday, when she let on that she's a dab-hand in the garden.

Seen fooling around at her English country manor, the 52-year-old appeared green-fingered with a hose in hand, all the while showing off her jaw-dropping body. 

Eye-popping: Liz Hurley spent Sunday cooling off in the garden in a string of super-sexy swimsuits that sent her Instagram following into meltdown

Elizabeth Hurley showed off her enviable bod in a design of her own.

The British beauty looked fabulous in a plunging purple one piece accessorized with over-sized sunnies.

Bright purple swimsuits bring cringe worthy memories of 80's acid color clothing, but who are we kidding? Everything is a throwback! Why not try your hand at the look and catch some looks?

With a watering tool in hand, the British actress posed in a skimpy purple swimsuit that served up an eyeful of her cleavage and her lean legs, as she stood poised.

Playfully distracting for the obvious, she captioned the image: 'Someone's gotta do it' as she proceeded to water her plush, green lawn.

Earlier that day, Liz had been frolicking in a teeny red bikini, this time performing impressive yoga poses at her leisure, with one leg extended in the air.

Not only is Elizabeth handy with garden tools, but she's apparently fearless with an axe in hand too, after regaling fans with a tale about how she once saved son Damian's life, this weekend. 

On Sunday, Liz revealed she had once cut off a snake's head, in order to save her son, now 15.

According to the Mirror, the 52-year-recalled the moment she had seen the dangerous creature slither towards her son's cot during a past holiday to Spain - and compared her brave reaction to that of the Three Musketeers. 

Don't mess with me: On Sunday, Liz revealed that she had once cut off a snake's head with an axe, in order to save her son Damian

Liz, better known for her striking natural beauty as a model, explained that she had sprung into the bold action after seeing the snake approach her son in his bed, while abroad.

She explained of her heroic behaviour: 'Once, when we were in Spain, a snake slithered towards his Moses basket and I leapt over a table like d'Artagnan and cut its head off with an axe.'

Giving a playful warning for the future, she then added protectively: 'Note to others: never get between a lioness and her cubs.'

The brunette beauty has a famously close relationship with Damian, now 15, who she shares with American businessman Steve Bing.

Elizabeth recently spoke to Closer magazine about her decision to take time away from the spotlight to raise her son, after his arrival back in 2002.   

She said in the intimate interview: 'Looking after my son became my No. 1 task, and it was a joy to have someone else on whom to focus. I was 36 and had been worrying about myself for quite long enough.'

'I stopped doing movies and TV for the first eight years of his life, and I don't regret it for a moment. I always put him first.'

Liz and Damian even recently proved their chemistry on screen as well as off, after starring in an episode of The Royals together - where he took on the part of Prince Hansel in her popular E! drama.

The talented teen portrayed the spoiled German monarch, who embarks on a new career as a reality star.

He was an immediate hit with the audience, one viewer summing it up by saying: 'Damian Hurley aka Prince Hansel is so fabulous! I like him already!' 

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine last year, the Estée Lauder model explained that while her son does not want to be an actor, he took to the project like a duck to water - and loved working with his mum every day, even if to wind her up.

She said of the period of filming: 'We shoot right across the the summer holidays so actually there's not a lot of choice in that but thank goodness he enjoys it even more than I do. 

'So he sets my alarm every morning, he gets out my clothes for me, he runs my lines with me, and bullies me all day long!'

Discussing his future in the industry, she then added jokingly: 'I don't know if he will be an actor. I think he will be in show business. He might be behind the camera.

'He's quite despotic when he's making his own little mini movies, he's quite good at it. I think he wants to run a studio, maybe employ his ageing geriatric mother. We'll see, you never know.'
