Kelly Brook was among 101 female stars targeted in one of the biggest-ever celebrity hack attacks.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE DESCRIBES LEAKED NUDE PHOTOS AS A 'FLAGRANT VIOLATION'

Compromising images of more than 400 showbiz figures are believed to have been stolen, with the mystery hacker believed to have broken into Apple’s iCloud electronic storage system.

He has already published nude photos of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, 24, on a web forum, along with pictures of model Kate Upton, 22.

MICHELLE KEEGAN AND KELLY BROOK NAMED BY 'MASS HACKER'

And, last night, the 4Chan hacker bragged that he had a two-minute sex tape of the Hunger Games star and asked people to donate to a PayPal account before he released it.

But now Kelly Brook has attempted to distance herself from the scandal, writing: "The only nude photos you'll ever see of me are the ones that I 'Leak' and the ones that my head are superimposed on!"

While some assumed Kelly Brook was simply distancing herself from 4chan's claims about having nude stills of her, others have suggested that, in placing inverted commas around the word 'leak', she was making a dig at Jennifer Lawrence and other victims of the scandal.

One wrote: "Are you throwing shade at JLaw?"

Kelly is not the only celebrity to have been accused of victim-blaming in the wake of the hacker's attempts to shame female celebrities.

Comedian Ricky Gervais also was called out for blaming the stars themselves, tweeting: “Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on your computer.”

One disgusted Twitter user responded: "Hackers, don't hack into people's private lives. Gervais, stop victim blaming. It was NOT JLaw's fault."

The FBI is now leading an investigation into the hacking scandal, with a spokesman telling the Associated Press news agency that they are "aware of the allegations" and "addressing the matter".
