Nancy Dell'Olio 'invites' Tony Blair for lunch date

London, Apr 5 (ANI): Nancy Dell'Olio wishes to take Tony Blair out for lunch before she appears in a British television show.

The former girlfriend of Swedish football manager Sven Goran Eriksson feels she needs to consult an expert for her forthcoming appearance as a contestant on 'Have I Got News For You'.

The Italian diva's performance will be recorded on May 3.

"Nancy has invited him, but he is obviously going to consult his diary to see when he is free," the Daily Mail quoted a friend as saying.

"She would usually take someone to The Ivy, which is her favourite place, but she'll probably choose somewhere a bit more discreet in Tony's case," the friend added.

Nancy has already confessed to being a huge admirer of the former British prime minister, noting that she finds him "wonderful, extremely attractive" and has also suggested there is no love lost between her and wife Cherie. (ANI)
