Fancy footwork: Nancy Dell'Olio wore dangerously high heels

With her stint on Strictly Come Dancing starting tomorrow, it would be a terrible time for an injury.

But Nancy Dell'Olio bravely decided to defy gravity in a dangerous pair of high heels as she left her home this evening.

And despite their perilous height and spindly heels, the flamboyant 50-year-old walked effortlessly in the black shoe boots.

She has clearly been embracing the spirit of Strictly and was sporting a short black sequinned dress ahead of her dancing debut tomorrow.

The Italian also donned a pair of dark glasses and lashings of jewellery to complete her glamorous look.

Nancy appeared on daytime panel show Loose Women yesterday, where she confirmed that her relationship with theatre director Sir Trevor Nunn is still going strong - despite stating at the Strictly launch: 'I'm not interested in men anymore.'

The ex-girlfriend of former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson added: 'I've just come here to focus on something new. It's all about the dancing.'

She also said: 'I will be bigger than the X Factor - this is the biggest show on TV, that's why I've always wanted to do it.

'My dance partner is going to have to be patient because I'm going to be hard work, and since he's now the only man in my life he'll have to learn to live with it.'

However she contradicted herself by confessing to the Loose Women yesterday that she is still with Sir Trevor, despite rumours of a split
