Manuela, 39, and her twin sister Marianna were both guests at Berlusconi’s now infamous parties which he hosted at his luxury home in Arcore in the early 2000s and which later sparked a criminal investigation.
At a subsequent hearing, Manuela, who worked on Berlusconi’s TV empire, told prosecutors: ‘I am a good girl but I have been described as an escort, let me tell you that is absolutely absurd.
‘We received 2,500 euros a month from Berlusconi, as did many other women who attended the evenings at Arcore, but they were not vulgar or uncomfortable evenings, there was nothing scandalous, the dancers enjoyed themselves as well as their livelihood.’
Manuela later left her job as a TV weather girl but took part in the Italian version of I’m A Celebrity Ger Me Out of Here and still regularly appears on talk shows and models for underwear and calendars.
Two other women, Alessandra Sorcinelli and Barbara Guerra, who both also attended the parties and have been served deportation notices, have decided to take on Berlusconi’s heirs and threatened legal action.

Alessandra claims that Berlusconi promised her three million euros to compensate her for the publicity she suffered as a result of the bunga-bunga parties and has instructed her lawyers to take legal action, saying she has proof that she was in her apartment can stay.
Barbara’s lawyer Federico Sinicato told MailOnline: ‘We have several recordings of Berlusconi assuring my client that she can stay in the flat where she lives, no problem and we are prepared to make this public if necessary.’
In one recording, Berlusconi is heard telling her how to stay in the house, saying, “I promise you for my five children a loan that can be used immediately and as soon as the trial is over, and our lawyers will give us everything.” clear, I’ll put it in your name.’
Prosecutors in several trials against Berlusconi alleged that the allowances and houses were benefits for the girls in exchange for favorable testimony at hearings against him and in particular in a case in which he allegedly paid an underage girl for sex.
Both women live in properties on the outskirts of Milan and have insisted nothing unusual happened between them and Berlusconi.
