Nancy Dell'Olio has admitted that she slapped Sven-Goran Eriksson when she learned he was having an affair.

The Italian property lawyer made the revelation in an interview with Piers Morgan for The Dark Side Of Fame, which will air on BBC One tomorrow night.

Dell'Olio said she had reacted angrily to the news that Eriksson had cheated with Football Association secretary Faria Alam, adding that she found the affair "ridiculous".

The couple remained together until Dell'Olio published her autobiography My Beautiful Game, which Eriksson claimed invaded his privacy.
