Sven? I'm so over him, Nancy reveals

Nancy Dell'Olio has admitted for the first time that her relationship with Sven-Goran Eriksson is over and has spoken about her relationship with Italian TV presenter Michele Cucuzza.

The fiery 43-year-old lawyer also revealed that she is the face of a new fashion collection by Princess Diana's favourite designer Elizabeth Emanuel.

Nancy posed in a variety of outfits which will bear her name as the label, and spoke about life after Sven, in an interview with Italian weekly Chi.

She admitted that the two were living separate lives, despite months of denying their relationship had ended.

Nancy said of her new man Cucuzza: "Michele is very pleasant. Next to him I feel comfortable and at ease but our relationship needs time to deepen."

When asked if it was over with Sven, she said: "For the last two months our relationship has been cracked. We have taken a moment to pause for reflection. It's not the first time it has happened."

"Sven has had two other affairs. Up until now I have always managed to redress the balance."

"The situation really deteriorated after the World Cup. It's not completely definite. We will see."
