Keep up to date with ALL the latest sport news, gossip and rumours.
Here are seven famous faces to fall victim to a nude photos scandal...
PAIGE
QUEEN of the ring Paige, a former two-time Divas champion, was forced into going public after a string of videos appeared online this weekend.
She tweeted: “Personal and private photos of mine were stolen and unfortunately they were shared publicly without my consent.”
One video features Paige performing a solo act with a sex toy, another engaging in oral sex, while there are at least three other videos in which she is seen having sex with men - as well as a host of selfies.
HOPE SOLO
USA international goalkeeper Solo was one of many celebs to have her intimate snaps leaked during what became known as "The Fappening".
The two-time Olympic gold medallist was left frustrated and "violated" by the hack, saying: "It is extremely sad and unfortunate that the rights of so many women were violated by the unauthorised release of private photographs.
"This act goes beyond the bounds of human decency and, as such, I stand united with all the women affected and am exploring every option to protect my privacy."
KATE UPTON & JUSTIN VERLANDER
WHILE baseball star Justin Verlander may not be a household name this side of the Pond, it's fair to say Upton is.
Following the hack, the MLB man said: "I'm not going to comment on my personal life. I never have, and I never plan on it. I keep my personal life personal."
Unfortunately for the couple, their personal life had already spread like wildfire online.
DILETTA LEOTTA
ITALIAN Sky Sports journalist Leotta was another to blast hackers who leaked nudes of her from her iCloud.
However, the she was quick to claim only a handful of the pictures and videos were genuine, before adding it was near-impossible to stay strong during the incident.
She said: “I didn’t cry at first. I found strength I didn’t even know I had. But after three days, yes, I succumbed.
“Those photos maybe I sent to someone, perhaps a couple of them. I thought I had deleted them. Someone must have intentionally hacked into my iCloud account.”
MARCOS ROJO
X-RATED photos said to show Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo in his full glory were going viral earlier this season.
The graphic pictures appeared on an Argentinian-run Twitter site which has 150,000 followers.
While Rojo initially failed to respond to the claims, TV news site Todo Noticias said: “Although you can’t see his face, the tattoos on his legs and his back are the giveaway.”
MARTIN CACERES
SOUTHAMPTON swooped to sign former Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus defender Caceres in the January transfer window.
Despite not turning out on the pitch at all as yet this season, Saints fans were quickly reminded of Caceres entirely unintentional nude "leak".
Uruguay team-mate Diego Forlan posted a photo of himself posing with the Copa America trophy following the nation's 2011 triumph.
But what he failed to spot was Caceres - completely starkers - texting in the background.
Naturally, the snap went viral on social media.
SIR IAN BOTHAM
BACK in 2014, 'Beefy' was forced to claim he had been hacked after a nude picture was posted to his Twitter.
The image - captioned "What are you thinking....xx" quickly did the rounds on the social media site, forcing the cricket legend to tweet: "Not very funny whoever did that...!!"
Despite Botham claiming he had been hacked and had now changed his password, a number of Twitter users believed the tweet to be sent accidentally by the former England man himself.
Starting to see the funny side, Sir Ian later tweeted to "thank" the hacker, saying: “I’ve just got 500 hits in 20mins!!”
