An Italian teacher was suspended from school in November because after class she was a porn star.
This extra earner by Anna Ciriani, who calls herself Madameweb in hard-core videos on the internet and at erotic shows, was "not compatible with educational activity", the head of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia education authority said.

Ciriani, dubbed the "porno-prof" by Italy's main newspapers, said she never let her hobby get in the way of her teaching.

Five years ago Ciriani was transferred from her post as teacher of Italian literature in a secondary school in the north-eastern town of Pordenone after students covered the toilets with nude photos of her downloaded from the internet.

Madameweb's popularity surged after a video of her shot at the Venus erotica festival in Berlin in October attracted a wide internet following, prompting the authorities to suspend her from teaching altogether.
