Former show-girl turned Italian MP Nicole Minetti is seen here soaking
up the heat in Miami, as she enjoys her Christmas break in the sun.
The 26-year-old former girlfriend of Silvio Berlusconi has recently re-launched her fashion modelling career after being dragged into the playboy's most recent scandals.
Berlusconi is now threatening a return to politics as he plans to run in the coming Italian elections hoping to gain office for a fourth time.
However, he faces yet more court cases surrounding the use of prostitutes at his so-called Bunga-Bunga parties.
Bilingual Miss Minetti, whose mother Georgina Reed is from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, treated Berlusconi's broken teeth after he was hit in the face with a statue at a rally in December 2009.
The former showgirl had only just qualified as a dental hygienist but within a month she was repairing Berlusconi's face after the attack in Milan and he soon took a liking to her and recruited her to his team.
Berlusconi invited her to become a politician and she was shortlisted for the upcoming elections which made her the victim of much criticism.
Berlusconi subsequently appointed her a regional councillor in Lombardy
She was also involved in the so-called Caso Ruby scandal and it was discovered that she owned four apartments which were occupied by showgirls.
No stranger to headlines, in 2011 prosecutors asked for her to be charged with recruiting prostitutes for Berlusconi - a probe involving a teenage prostitute allegedly paid for sex by the controversial politician.
Milan prosecutors are also investigating whether she improperly requested state reimbursements for €27,000 (£22,000) in spa treatments, hotels and dinners.
Berlusconi stepped down in November 2011 amid an economic crisis and the growing row over his Bunga Bunga parties.
Since then his Freedom People party has been damaged by repeated sleaze allegations which have toppled regional authorities in Lazio and Lombardy.
Twenty-two regional councillors from the Freedom People and Northern League parties are being investigated over expenses on items including lottery scratch cards, bullets, cigarettes, takeaway pizzas and fireworks.
Berlusconi now faces renewed allegations ahead of the coming elections in February.
