Woman hired as newscaster after revealing her breasts is suspended for agreeing to do Playboy

A TV news presenter who landed her job after revealing her breasts during her audition has been suspended – after agreeing to do a Playboy photoshoot.

According to Mailonline,TV chiefs in Albania were so impressed by the screen-test of Enki Bracaj they offered her a news reader role.The 21-year-old presented an international news programme wearing a cleavage-revealing outfit – and it proved a ratings hit.

But now her bosses are furious after she decided to cash in on her celebrity by baring all for the American men's magazine Playboy.Nudity and even topless bathing are still taboo in conservative Albania, where some 60 per cent of the population are Muslim.

TV station boss Ismet Drishti said she was currently suspended over the issue and he was trying to talk her out of the shoot.

He said: 'I told her she should concentrate on the journalism and her studies and told her to not go ahead and do this photoshoot. We are still negotiating how we might get round the problem.'

Mr Drishti, who set up local TV channel Zjarr, said he decided to interview her because he looking for someone a bit different to present his new news programme.

He said: 'The idea came after I realised that all the TV stations in Albania had more or less the same face and the same political message from either the left or the right and I wanted to offer something independent and with a fresh face.'

Miss Bracaj, who studies public relations at the local university, defended the decision to present almost-topless news, she said at the time she took the job:

'I am not expecting to get famous overnight, and it's not easy to get into the television business.'I'm a journalist that's just at the beginning of her career and at the start you have to take some risks.
