Paolo Ficara, vice president of the Play TV television channel announced for HotNews.ro that Romanian Ioana Visan is no longer working for the television. The Romanian lead the children's show "The blue balloon". Visan is the recent Romanian to draw the attention of the Italian press after an Italian businessman declared that she is a luxury prostitute who is paid to sleep with Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi.

Ficara underlined that Visan is no longer part of the show's staff and explained that she only shot three TV shows. Ficara said that the Romanian was hired after a set of tests aimed at selecting new personnel.

Contrary to speculations in the press, Play TV channel does not belong to Berlusconi but to a private owner, with headquarters at Milan. Even though the name of the Romanian made the front pages of the Italian papers like Corriere della Sera and La Stampa, in the sexual scandal against Silvio Berlusconi, she did not make any public declaration.

The only thing she confessed to an Italian friend is that she was shocked by the information in the press and that she will contact a lawyer.
