School bosses have been ordered to sack a teacher after mums complained that the former beauty queen was 'too sexy' to teach their children.

Stunning Ileana Tacconelli, 28 - a former Miss Abruzzo in Italy - gave up modelling when she trained to become a teacher. Now heads at St Carl Catholic School in Milan are under pressure to fire her after one mum withdrew her 12-year-old daughter because of the teacher's former life as a model. One mum said: 'She is not fit to teach young children. She is too sexy and it is too distracting.'
But the brunette beauty has won the backing of dads at the school who have formed a pressure group to save her from their wives. Roberto Jonghi Lavarini, who set up the Ileana Fan Club, said: 'She is a wonderful woman for sure but she is also an excellent, competent and sober teacher. 'We think the complaint is just hypocritical and jealous.'
And school head Father Aldo Geranzani said he was standing by the former beauty queen. 'She's a really good teacher and she passed all our entrance tests for teachers. 'We knews about her past but judging it is not our duty. We respect the decision of that mother even if we don't agree with her.' Ileana said: 'I've never done anything to be ashamed and I'll keep teaching here.'
