One of the more glamorous attendees of this week’s Tory Black and White ball was Nancy Dell’Olio. The former girlfriend of Sven Goran Eriksson attended the Conservative fundraiser as the guest of Ivan Massow, the London mayoral hopeful. When Mr S caught up with Dell’Olio after the ball, it seemed the presence of political leaders was starting to rub off on her.
‘It was good to be there, I enjoyed David’s speech,’ the Italian lawyer told Steerpike at the Fernando Botero Private View at the Opera Gallery, before talk turned to her own career. ‘I’ll tell you what, I could apply to change my passport, one of my passions is politics. My friend could become mayor, I could be something like an international cultural ambassador because London is the centre of the world.’
Dell’Olio can turn to the Home Secretary should she require any advice. While Nancy was not the bidder to win a shoe shopping trip with May, the pair did hit it off. ‘I didn’t bid for the shoe shopping lot with Theresa May but I love the idea of it,’ she says.
The shoe lot appears to have set a trend among politicians with the Scottish sisterhood now planning a similar event. On Twitter, Nicola Sturgeon agreed to a shopping session with Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, to raise money for charity.
@KevinMcKenna63 @LindaFSemple @valmcdermid Always happy to help out a charity, but I warn you I am a rubbish shopper. Sulky like a teen.
