Nancy Dell’Olio, ‘dressed to kill’, thinks she can help Tony Blair bring peace to the Middle East! Photo courtesy of The Telegraph
Miss Dell'Olio, who raised eyebrows by wearing a daring red catsuit to Number 10 in 2002, has spent much of her time in Britain worrying about the whereabouts of her errant boyfriend, Sven-Goran Eriksson. Now, however, she has struck up a working relationship with one of the most eligible figures in international politics. The unlikely pair have held several meetings, with Miss Dell'Olio lobbying Mr Blair in her capacity as founder of Truce International, a charity that promotes peace through football in war-torn areas of the world.
The warm relationship that has developed was apparent last week when Miss Dell'Olio surprised guests at a party thrown by The Spectator magazine by gushing about the former prime minister and describing how she was looking forward to working with him now that he was an envoy working on behalf of America, Russia, the United Nations and the European Union.
As Gordon Brown met revellers in one corner, Miss Dell'Olio was busy telling people that she thought it wonderful that Mr Blair was "moving on now and can do what he really wants to do". Nancy joins Tony's team to save Middle East (more) By Melissa Kite
