Nancy 'offered £1/4m for TV showdown with Ulrika'

A record £250,000 is reportedly on the table for Nancy Dell'Olio to go into the Celebrity Big Brother house. Channel 4 bosses hope sending in the ex-partner of former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who cheated on her with Ulrika Jonsson, would create a catfight. Nancy, 50, has already rejected an offer of £125,000 and it is now said to be £250,000.

Catfight? Nancy is being wooed to join Big Brother

This would make her the highest-paid celebrity to appear on the show and beat Ulrika's current record fee by £75,000.

After Eriksson's affair in 2002, the property lawyer said of her Swedish rival: "She has the morals of an alley cat. Sven's affair with her was meaningless." But Ulrika, 41, hit back: "I did her the world of good.

She is now incredibly well known and clearly this is something she enjoys." Ulrika faces eviction tomorrow after being nominated by housemate Terry Christian.
