Nancy Dell'Olio split from Sven-Goran Eriksson in 2007

Nancy Dell'Olio has slated Kate Middleton's demure style. 

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant - who's never shy to step out in outrageous outfits - thinks Kate should ditch her high-necked dresses and low hems.

'She is only 30, she doesn't have to dress like the Queen yet,' says Nancy, 51.

'She is still so young, she could have more fun.'

And Nancy doesn't stop there - she's equally unimpressed with Kate's 28-year-old sister Pippa.

'It's perhaps a bit naughty of me,' she tells the Daily Star, 'but in Italy the word Pippa can be used to describe something average, mediocre.'
