Bikini ad starring ‘naked’ model Bar Refaeli changing into swimsuit is too raunchy for TV say censors
The commercial shows the Israeli model cavorting on the beach in her own brand of swimwear
AN advert for bikinis starring Bar Refaeli has been branded too raunchy to broadcast by TV censors.
The commercial shows the Israeli model cavorting on the beach in her own brand of swimwear for clothing firm Hoodies.
She is seen flaunting her enviable curves, taking a shower and even changing into her bikini pants behind a car door.
At one point, the camera gets a close-up of the 30-year-old’s bottom as she walks into the sea wearing a high-cut black and orange two-piece.
Now censors in the model’s native Israel have decided the clip is too hot for viewers to handle.
The ad can still be shown as long as some of the racier scenes are cut, according to the Second Broadcasting Authority for Television and Radio.
But the 45-second video can still only be aired after Israel’s 10pm watershed.
Bar – who is married to Israeli businessman Adi Ezra – was three months pregnant during the shoot for her swimwear collection.
The baby will be the couple's first child and Bar is estimated to give birth around July.
The Victoria’s Secret Angel – who now presents The X Factor Israel and has previously worked for Sport’s Illustrated - has since been flaunting her growing bump on social media.
Last week the model tweeted a photo of herself in a bathroom wearing a black two-piece.
She captioned the snap in Hebrew, saying: “Hoodies design swimwear collection now in stores!”
Growing up in a family of four, Bar had previously spoken about her desire to start a family with Hello! Fashion Monthly, saying: “Hopefully I will have a big family, but I’ll take it one by one.”
