Celebrity Big Brother producers have reportedly offered Nancy Dell’Olio £250,000 in the hope that she will join the show.

The Daily Mail claims that Ulrika Jonsson's former love rival has been offered the figure in a bid to 'spice up life in the house'. Ulrika and Dell'Olio have been engaged in a long-running public feud since Dell'Olio's then-partner Sven-Goran Eriksson had an affair with Ulrika.

Dell'Olio was previously offered a reported figure of £125,000 to join the series, but turned down the sum for fear of an on-screen argument.

However, while the Italian's advisors have reportedly been mulling over the new offer, it is unlikely she will appear after being told that joining the show would be 'career suicide' for her.

Ulrika is said to have told producers Endemol that she would leave the house instantly should they decide to bring Nancy in as a contestant.
