Elisabetta Gregoraci (born February 8, 1980) is an Italian TV soubrette. She was born in Soverato, province of Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy. As a child, she had various career aspirations, including being a police woman and a detective. This was based on her mom's tough stance on good and evil, which rubbed off on Elisabetta and her sister. Justice and crime-fighting didn't prove to be in the cards for Elisabetta, but another one of her early wishes most certainly was. Using her mom's brush, she would speak into a "microphone," look in the mirror and imagine herself on television.In 2006, Elisabetta was caught in a scandal involving Salvatore Sottile, a high-ranking spokesperson for Italy's foreign ministry. Allegedly, they engaged in a sexual relationship to secure her a television spot, but neither was charged with any wrongdoing. Though Elisabetta denied that anything sexual took place, she had previously stated in ample detail that there had indeed been a relationship. In any case, it did little to harm her career, and the tabloid exposure landed her a commercial gig as the face of a mobile phone company.
