Nancy Dell’Olio ‘to write sex guide’ complete with pictures in lingerie

NANCY Dell’Olio is planning to write a lovers’ guide including tips on lingerie, sex, and amorous evenings, it has been reported.

The ex-lover of former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is in negotiations with two publishers to produce the book, according to the Daily Mail.

She is said to have told friends she wants to appear in the book wearing her choice of attractive lingerie.

Flamboyant Miss Dell’Olio, 50, is reportedly dating chef James Petrie. She was previously in a relationship with Mr Eriksson for eight years.

The Italian lawyer has enjoyed a raised public profile recently appearing in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, though she was voted off the show two weeks ago.

She has been offered 30,000 by one publisher to write a lovers’ guide and 100,000 by a rival firm for a three-book deal starting with the guide, according to the Mail.

Her spokesman told the newspaper: “It is true to say we are at advanced stages with publishers over a very exciting project.”

She is reportedly planning to send the first copy of the lovers’ guide to former Prime Minister Tony Blair – after she claimed at the weekend that Eriksson was jealous of her friendship with the politician.

Lingerie maker Lejaby put up for sale – just

Having been placed under judicial administration by a commercial court in Lyon for a period of six months at the end of October, insolvent French lingerie maker Lejaby is now the subject of a sale order.

According to company president Raymond Mahé, Austrian group Palmers, which has owned Lejaby since 2008, does not have the financial capacity to support a continuation plan (for Lejaby) and to build stocks for the spring-summer 2012 collection.

The judge at the Lyon commercial court, the judicial administrator and Lejaby have set a closing date for bids of end-November. Selected candidates would present their offers before the court around the middle of next month.

Lejaby puts its difficulties down to a significant shrinking in the multi-brand retailer channel, the main outlet for its products.

The lingerie firm, which closed three of its four French production sites at the end of last year, posted a loss of EUR2.7m (US$3.7m) for the 2010/2011 financial year.

Restructuring at the company, which employs close to 450 staff in France, has also entailed almost 200 jobs cuts and the transfer of production to North Africa.
