Now blundering Berlusconi is filmed telling lewd joke about 'doing secretary on the table'

Defiant: PM Silvio Berlusconi continues to make jokes despite the allegations against him

Silvio Berlusconi, currently on trial over underage sex allegations, has been filmed making a crude joke about his secretary.



The Italian premier, 74, who is facing a charge of paying a 17-year-old for sex, cracked the lewd joke while being interviewed – before asking the crew not to report it.



The billionaire tycoon was asked to recall the best manager to lead AC Milan, the Italian football club he is president of.



He said: ‘Look I am getting old. This morning I was chasing my secretary to do her on the table and she said: “Prime Minister we only did it two hours ago.” So you see my memory is going.’



Berlusconi is then heard saying: ‘If you lot broadcast that then you are all a bunch of *****.’



Footage of his latest gaffe was screened on Italian TV show Annozero.



It revealed how the film had actually been shot earlier this month but not screened after journalists present agreed not to report it. The DVD had since been sent in to the programme anonymously.



Host Michele Santoro said: ‘How can it be that those journalists present decided not to broadcast the footage? How can we go forward? Why did they not screen it?’



The show has often been critical of Berlusconi in the past, even prompting the prime minister to call in to attack the programme’s host.

It was not immediately clear yesterday who the reporters in the film were or who they worked for, although it was believed they were from sports shows on channels the media tycoon premier owns.

Berlusconi is on trial for allegedly giving Moroccan belly dancer Karima El Mahroug cash and jewellery in return for sex when she was just 17 and a guest at his infamous parties.



He is also accused of abuse of office for using his position to secure Miss El Mahroug’s release from police custody after she was arrested for stealing 3,000 euro.



The trial opened earlier this month and was adjourned until the end of May.
