Sven-Goran Eriksson's ex Nancy Dell'Olio, 62, says she didn't know he has at best a year to live after terminal cancer diagnosis and reveals plans to reunite with him


Nancy, who dated Sven for 10 years, spoke about his devastating diagnosis on Loose Women on Thursday and revealed plans to see him for his birthday next month.

Nancy, who cut a glamorous figure with her bouncy blow-dry and red blazer on the show, said she was at an airport in New York when she first heard Sven had gone public with his diagnosis. Between 2001 and 2006 he guided the so-called 'golden generation' of stars including David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard but never won the major trophy that was expected. The team's thumping 5-1 win over Germany offering great optimism and flipping the qualifying group for World Cup 2002, even if it took Beckham's last-minute free-kick against Greece to avoid a tricky play-off with Ukraine.
