Sydney, Oct 6 : Shane Warne has a new woman in his life now - Sharon Strzelecki of Australian sitcom Kath & Kim.

The lucky lady will be walking down the aisle on the small screen with the Aussie cricketer next week.

Warne is a special guest in the October 14 finale of Kath & Kim, and plays
Wayne, a Shane Warne impersonator, who woos Magda Szubanski's character Sharon.

Szubanski said she found Warne very charming while he was on set and could understand his appeal.

"I thought he did a great job; he fit in really well. He really got the tone of what we were doing. We try to be as gentle as possible with the newbies.
But we didn't need that many takes - he just got it straight away,” News.com.au quoted Szubanski, as saying.

She added that fans of the show longed to Sharon, forever unlucky in life and love, finally meet the man of her dreams, and Warne’s personality made him the obvious choice.

"We talked about Shane so much in the show it was really a natural conclusion. He's a fan of the show so it was really just a matter of timing and whether he would be available to do it and he was, which was great,” she said.

Szubanski further said that it remains to be seen whether the marriage will work out with Warne becoming a regular on the sitcom.

"Who knows what will happen. It's left pretty open-ended,” she said.

In addition to Warne, there have been guest appearances from Eric Bana, Rob Sitch and Little Britain star Matt Lucas this season. (ANI)
