Diletta, 33, is a regular face on TV as she appears on the broadcaster’s coverage of Serie A in her homeland of Italy.

She has also appeared on radio and podcasts during her career.

However, her new advert is set to be seen by fewer people in Italy.

According to Corriere Della Sera, it has been banned because it is believed to “sexualise the gaze of a child”.

In the advert, Diletta can be seen wearing a short skirt and singing on a stage in front of a young child.

It also featured a number of men in awe at the new show, with one bizarrely rubbing his face.

The report adds that the jury of the Advertising Self-Discipline Institute had ordered the advert to be banned.

It claimed that it breached a rule that regulates the protection of children.
