Italian TV actress with "SB" tattoo takes centre stage in Berlusconi row

London, July 29 (ANI): A TV actress, who is known as the 'Queen Bee' and has a tattoo dedicated to "SB" on her ankle, has become the latest star of the 'Silvio Berlusconi saga'.

Sabina Began, 35, is said to have introduced Berlusconi, 72, to Giampaolo Tarantini - the man who hired girls, including escorts, for parties at the Premier's official residences, reports The Telegraph.

The dark haired stunner has made appearances on many programmes on the politician's Mediaset TV empire and is a regular on the summer party circuit in Sardinia, where Berlusconi has a home.

Began is reported to have a butterfly tattoo on her ankle and the phrase 'The man who changed my life, SB'. It is not known whether this is a reference to her own initials or those of Berlusconi.

She is not under investigation herself but, according to La Repubblica, prosecutors see her as the "link between Berlusconi and Tarantini [and] she is the key".

Meanwhile, Berlusconi's private life is being constantly scrutinised by the Italian media - thanks to the alleged sex-scandals.

All accusations began when it emerged that he had attended the 18th birthday party of Noemi Letizia, a model.

Recently, the alleged sexcapades reached new heights when audiotapes of an alleged conversation between escort girl Patrizia D'Addario, 42, and Berlusconi emerged.

In the tapes, D'Addario can be heard praising the biz tycoon for his sexual performance. (ANI)
