I'm worried that Posh is far too skinny says Nancy
Alexa Baracaia, Evening StandardUpdated 16:37pm on 20 Dec 2006
Nancy Dell'Olio has ordered Victoria Beckham to fatten up.
The on-off love of former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson said Posh Spice, wife of former England captain David Beckham, had become worryingly skinny.
"Victoria looked a bit too thin for my liking at the World Cup - and I told her so," Ms Dell'Olio told First magazine. "For someone who usually looks so good, it was worrying to see her looking so thin. Perhaps it was the stress of the World Cup - we all went through it."
She said Mrs Beckham, the mother of three sons, had gained weight since then, adding: "She's someone who remains an inspiration to many - and that's another reason for her to maintain a healthy weight."
Ms Dell'Olio claimed she and Eriksson are still together - sort of. "We're still thinking, but we have been seeing each other. We are living together and we have been away together. So I say 'yes', in a way, we are still a couple," she said.
She is writing a tell-all book about her life and plans to open a boutique hotel.
"I want it to be like I've opened my house. I hate big hotels and I am always looking for the small, interesting places," she said.
Ms Dell'Olio also expressed frustration that her age has been reported as 46. "I do not know where this comes from. I'm not 46, I am 43. I'm fabulous anyway, I know I look 20 years younger than I am," she said.

Why does everyone feel the need to have a go at Victoria - even Nancy is at it now. Leave the woman alone she has done nothing to harm anyone else and appears to be happy and focused on her goals - why can't everyone just leave her be.

Sven's old lady is not just deluded about how old she looks, she seems to be under the impression that we care about her opinion on anything. Go back in your box and be quiet, Nancy.

Nancy, don't worry...some of us like our women to look like knackered old drag queens.

Who cares? I mean what is Nancy famous for? Her on/off boyfriend had an affair. Oh and a twenty year old? Nancy do you know what a 20 year old looks like?

No Nancy, you DRESS like a 23 year old. This does not mean you LOOK like a 23 year old.

All I know is Ms Dell'Olio certainly does not look like a 23 year old, or even a 26 year old.
