HAPPY HUGH YEAR

LOVESTRUCK Hugh Grant celebrated the New Year in the arms of stunning heiress Jemima Khan in their exclusive Caribbean hideaway.

Grant, 44, and Jemima, 30, left their pounds 1,200-a-night villa at the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados to party on the beach with other guests until 2am. And sparks were flying between them well before the fireworks display at midnight as they kissed and hugged the night away.

Jemima's sons from her nine-year marriage to cricket hero Imran are on holiday with him in Pakistan. Hugh, who dated actress Liz Hurley for more than a decade, has dismissed rumours he's planning to propose.

Wedding bells or not, judging by this public display of affection we'll bet Hugh's New Year resolution is to stay in Love, Actually.
