Hugh Hefner thinks Crystal Harris took him for a "pretty nice ride".

The 85-year-old Playboy boss – who was jilted by the 25-year-old model less than a week before their planned wedding in June – doesn’t think the blonde beauty was “faking” her feelings for him, as he never saw the couple’s split coming

He said: “I didn’t see it coming. I truly didn’t see it coming.

“I think an argument could be made that she took me for a ride, but I must say, quite frankly, it was a pretty nice ride. If she was faking it, she did it very well.”

However, the magazine mogul admits their marriage may not have even worked out, as he wasn’t able to commit to former girlfriend Holly Madison.

Speaking on CNN’s ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’, he added: “Where was my head? I made the commitment, quite frankly, because in a previous relationship with Holly, I had not been there in the way she wanted me to be and I just wanted to do whatever would make the relationship work with Crystal.”

However, High – who has been married twice – concedes he “screwed up” during his romance with Holly.

In an episode of ‘Runaway Bride’, a reality show  intended to cover the wedding of Hugh and Crystal, he tells Holly: “If you’re looking for an explanation about Crystal, I don’t have a clue. I don’t really feel bitterness. I never thought I’d get married again. I wasn’t planning it.

“I think I screwed up with us.”

Daisy Lowe to pose naked for Playboy

Daisy Lowe is set to appear naked in Playboy.

The 22-year-old model – who has previously posed for fashion publications Vogue and W – will strip off in an eight-page spread in the September edition of the iconic men’s magazine, which is set to be released on August 12.

Daisy – who is currently dating ‘Doctor Who’ actor Matt Smith – will travel to editor Hugh Hefner’s famous Playboy Mansion for the photo shoot.

The beautiful brunette – who is the daughter of musician-turned-designer Pearl Lowe and Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale – previously posed topless for the 2010 Pirelli Calendar and admitted she found the sexy shoot liberating.

She said: “It was quite freeing, being able to be naked for a week.”

Daisy has previously explained being “sexy” is a “big part” of her identity, and she believes it is empowering for women to be in control of their sexuality.

She said: “I suppose I’ve been very in touch with the ‘sexy’ thing since I was 15.

“I guess it’s a big part of my identity, something that I have learnt to switch into. It’s because I’m a girl’s girl. I’m not the bitchy girl who’s trying to make your boyfriend fancy me. The only reason I ever ‘do’ sexy is because I like to encourage women to feel sexy about themselves.”
