Some NSFW WAG controversy from the boot-shaped nation

Italians might just be the luckiest folks on Earth: their weather is exceptional, their lifestyles relatively relaxed and their TV stations are jam-packed full of gorgeous women who constantly break out into sexy dance routines for absolutely no reason.

Football show Controcampo (”Offside”) broadcasts on the Mediaset network owned by Italian PM /sex pest Silvio Berlusconi, so its consistently high standards of salacious Waggery is unsurprising. Prominent alumni include Elisabetta Cannalis, Federica Fontana and Chilean model Maria Jose Lopez, the ex-wife of West Ham’s Luis Jimenez.

Ms Lopez - who hit headlines earlier this year for her involvement in a violent  love triangle that earned her a divorce from Jimenez - finds herself back in the spotlight this morning, as she has been sacked from Controcampo.

On the latest edition of the show, the host said she had departed to patch things up with her former flame, but the blonde model claims this is not the case, insisting she was given the boot because of the dance routine shown in the video above, in which she momentarily flashes one of her “dirty pillows”. Of the erroneous reason for departure, Maria said:

‘That’s rubbish. I never left for family reasons.

‘It’s all because of what happened - I can’t believe it, it’s not as if I killed anyone.’

We find it a little hard to believe that an attractive lady was sacked for doing exactly what every man watching hoped she would do. Perhaps her unceremonious has more to do with eloquent comments she made about Jose Mourinho on the show. “He used to really get on my balls,” she said of the man who never picked her ex-husband and loaned him out to East London.
