The John Travolta case breaks out, after last night's "terrifying gag", when the international super star was forced to do the Qua Qua Dance in front of the Aristonello.

Fiorello himself was merciless after the Festival, admitting that the result was a terrible fool : «We made one of the most terrifying gags in the history of Italian television. Amadeus is code 01 and I take the insults. While I was doing it I had already foreseen everything. Travolta will no longer want to return to Italy."

But maybe joking about it isn't enough.

The clip of the infamous dance has disappeared from RaiPlay: John Travolta did not sign the release and the images can never be broadcast by Rai again.

And the shadow of hidden advertising is also a coincidence : Travolta is the testimonial of U-Power, a company based in Monza that produces shoes like the ones he wore yesterday. The actor would have been paid one million euros for the hosting by the company itself ("It was a mistake to show the logo of the shoes and not put the tape on", says Rai) while Rai would have offered him a reimbursement of expenses.

«No trap for John Travolta»: Amadeus guarantees in the press conference. «He knew exactly everything. It's part of the history of great comedy and irony to make the guest do something funny. It was a lot of fun for me."
