Nancy Dell'Olio will pen a weekly style column in News International's new Sun on Sunday newspaper, it was revealed today.

The Italian personality, who recently appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and dated former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, will join television chef James Martin writing for the paper, which launches at the weekend.

Gordon Smart's Bizarre column and Colin Robertson's TV Biz column will also feature seven days a week, the Rupert Murdoch-owned publishing company said.

Agony aunt Deidre Sanders, who has been a stalwart of The Sun for decades, will also give advice in the new weekly newspaper.

News International announced today that the Sun on Sunday will be sold for 50p and Saturday's edition will be the same price, having previously been on sale for 60p.

Mr Murdoch took to Twitter today to announce "more good Sun news".

He said: "We're completely sold out for advertising."
