A model who offered millions of voters oral sex if they voted 'no' to an Italian referendum claims her raunchy Instagram account was blocked over fears that she could influence the country's upcoming general election.

Paola Saulino, 28, posts suggestive selfies and political messages on Instagram and has more than 430,000 followers, but she said the account has been suspended for political reasons.

The actress and glamour model gained global notoriety in 2016 when she promised to pleasure 19.4million voters if they voted against constitutional reforms in an Italian referendum.

She launched her Pompa Tour - which roughly translates as 'pump' - and performed the sex act on approximately 700 men across the country on her 'mission of love'.

The Italian general election is scheduled for Sunday and Paola now claims that her Instagram account was suspended in case it influenced the vote.

“They blocked my Instagram official account just now because people reported me,” she told Daily Star Online .

She said people are worried in case she announces another Pompa Tour that could sway the vote.

“They are scared that I could influence the result of the votes again. They are scared that I might launch another Pompa Tour for this election,” she said.

Paola is now urging people to tweet the hashtag #unbanpaola to send a message to the social media network, owned by Facebook.

The election campaign is intensifying by the minute in Italy where polls suggest that almost 30% of the electorate is still undecided.

Despite some recent growth, Italy has been dealing with an economic slump and soaring unemployment and under-employment.

And this discontent has fuelled support for anti-establishment parties in Europe’s fourth-largest economy.

The populist Five Star movement, founded by a former comedian, which has called for Italy to drop the Euro and revert to a national currency, is leading in many polls.

Although it looks unlikely that they could form a government alone, there is a slight possibility that they could forge a coalition with the right-wing Northern League, according to current predictions.

Last time Paola 'Pompa Girl' got involved in national politics she made the bizarre pledge to perform a sex act on all 'No' voters as she felt so strongly against constitutional reforms put forward by former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

When 59% of the electorate voted to reject the changes in November 2016, most people expected the aspiring actress to backtrack.

But Paola - who is originally from from Napoli but lives in Los Angeles - swiftly announced the 10-date Pompa Tour after telling her fans: “I am a woman of my word”.

The first leg kicked off in Rome on January 7 and ended in Palermo on January 21, 2017.

During her last tour, Paola got "tired" after she completed her first 400 sex acts but vowed to continue to at least one million.

She said at the time: “My goal is one million, I would love one million.”
