However, her new advert is set to be seen by fewer people in Italy.
According to Corriere Della Sera, it has been banned because it is believed to "sexualise the gaze of a child".

In the advert, Diletta can be seen wearing a short skirt and singing on a stage in front of a young child.
It also featured a number of men in awe at the new show, with one bizarrely rubbing it on his face.
The report adds that the jury of the Advertising Self-Discipline Institute had ordered the advert to be banned.
It claimed that it breached a rule that regulates the protection of children.

Last week, the jury ruled that it was conflicting with Article 11 of the Code that states: "Representations of behaviours or attitudes aimed at the sexualisation of children, or of subjects who appear to be such, are prohibited."

The advert was also criticised by Italian journalist Selvaggia Lucerelli.
They said: "The video opened with a shot from behind of a child under the stage where a singer was performing in a miniskirt that reached her crotch
"Then moving on to a shot of the child's face with his gaze upwards and his mouth open in a sort of ecstasy like a vision of the Madonna.
"In practice, it was the first time that a child, who in the advertisement will have a stage age of eight, saw a woman's underwear.
"I wrote about it in my Instagram stories, finding it sad to represent a minor in such an ambiguous situation to sell a pair of shoes."
However, U-Power founder Franco Uzzeni has defended the commercial as he pointed to the demand from customers.
He said: "Malice is in the eye of the beholder.
"But at least we know that our commercial was seen and appreciated given the sales."

Love Island casting comes under fire AGAIN after it's revealed star had TikTok account where he ‘secretly films women'

AXED Love Island hunk Kyle Ashman took part in 'misogynistic' videos with a pal where they secretly filmed women. 3 Kyle was axed from the show earlier this week Credit: Instagram Now it has been revealed that he had a joint TikTok and YouTube page with a friend called Fin Musker. Whilst the joint pages have been wiped of content, a source has told The Sun that the videos involved them 'picking up girls and filming them without knowledge'. The source added that the videos 'displayed misogynistic behaviour towards women'. Some content still online shows Fin and Kyle out on the town, kissing women and speaking to them in bars. READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND When approached about the videos, Kyle did not wish to comment. It raises further question marks about ITV's vetting process for its reality shows. Earlier this week Kyle was sent packing from Majorca after The Sun alerted show bosses that he had been arrested on suspicion of a machete attack and was only cleared by police last month - meaning he would've been in discussion with authorities whilst auditioning for Love Island. ITV chiefs sent him home from Most read in Love Island A source said: 'All of the online content had been cleared so may not have come up on surface level checks, but for this kind of show far deeper trawls should be in place. 'ITV has steered clear of OnlyFans stars in the past and Kyle's link to one - particularly taking part in joint content of a misogynistic nature - is surely not in keeping with Love Island being a family show.' Love Island's Kyle Ashman reveals he wants show return as Casa Amor hunk after being axed over machete attack on dad ITV declined to comment. Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks. The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks. Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club. Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed. Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month. Speaking after he was axed from the show, he said: "I'm not a bad guy, honestly. I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it's been taken away from me. "I've seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I'm not a bad guy. We'll see." 3 He was quizzed by cops over a machete attack that happened in February Credit: Instagram/@kyleashmantr 3 He was released without charge and insists he's a normal guy Credit: Instagram Troubled history of telly hit By Jonathan Kanengoni LOVE Island has been hit by a string of controversies since it first aired in 2015. Malia Arkian lasted just three hours before she was marched out by security in its second year after pushing co-contestant Kady McDermott for spilling wine on her. Sherif Lanre was booted off after nine days in 2019. He had made a vile joke after accidentally kicking fan fave Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch during a play fight. In the same year Women's Aid complained of contestant Joe Garratt's 'abusive' behaviour towards on-screen partner Lucie Donlan. She broke down in tears after he told her to stay away from the other lads. Ollie Williams left after three days in 2020 when he realised he still had feelings for his ex. But his exit came amid mounting pressure on bosses to remove him after pictures of him allegedly trophy hunting came to light. Salesman Haris Namani was dumped in 2023 after The Sun revealed footage of him in a street brawl. The show has also been accused of failing to look after islanders' mental health when filming stops. Sophie Gradon took her own life, aged 32, two years after she appeared on Love Island 2016. And Mike Thalassitis's suicide in 2019, at 26, prompted calls for better after-care by reality shows. In 2022, watchdog Ofcom received 3,600 complaints in a week over alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants. And this year it received thousands of complaints about All Stars contestant Elma Pazar's bullying of Ekin- Su Culculoglu during a row.
