Small-time actresses and showgirls, who are at the centre of the prostitution scandal involving Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, have complained of losing their works because of the notoriety of the case, a media report here said.

Berlusconi, 74, is alleged to have paid 'several' women for sex during wild 'bunga bunga' parties at his palazzo outside Milan -- a charge that almost all of them have denied, the Daily Telegraph reported on Monday.
