ROME (Reuters) - /Andrea Giambruno, the former partner of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has been taken off a television talk show he had presented before Meloni left him following sexist comments he made to female co-workers.

Meloni announced last week she had separated from Giambruno after a satirical current affairs programme broadcast off-air video excerpts from Giambruno's show, in which he used foul language and appeared to make advances to a female colleague.
