It's like they always said—love hurts. Just ask Elizabeth Hurley

The 50-year-old seductive Queen of England on The Royals admitted to Seth Meyers Tuesday night that while she is just as much of an incessant flirt off camera, many of her grand efforts to attract her men of choice have landed her in the emergency room. 

"I flirt with anyone—man, woman, animal, inanimate object. Anything to get the party going," she joked on NBC's Late Night

While stunning and successful, the actress revealed that her tactics meant to entice are not as graceful as she would like. Instead, her methods have been haphazard, reminiscent of the hiccups often seen on America's Funniest Home Videos

"If I flirt or fancy someone, I show off a bit sometimes and sometimes I get a little clumsy and I've actually hurt myself a few times," she said. "I've been to the ER probably half a dozen times for flirting."

For example, during one particular incident while on vacation, she attempted to "scissor jump" into a hammock to grab the attention of a suitor, but instead of landing successfully within the hammock, she threw her body all the way over it and hit the floor, knocking herself out in a concussion. Very smooth, Elizabeth.

During another episode of attraction, Hurley invited a man over to her farm. She said she was running in the field, thinking she looked "cool" until her leg unexpectedly got caught inside a rabbit's hole in the ground. She fell face first and broke her ankle. 

"He couldn't really carry me so I had to be over his shoulder—fireman's lift," she recollected embarrassingly. 

Even if Hurley trips and falls, we could never imagine any man denying her affections—she's a bombshell!
