Ariadna Thalia Sodi Miranda, also known as Thalia, has courted rumours for years that she had two ribs removed to give her a slimmer appearance.

And last week, the 42-year-old singer added fuel to the fire of those rumours by mentioning them in an interview.

Posting a video to Instagram showing her next to ribs pickling in a jar, Thalia captioned the footage: 'You think I removed my ribs? Yes, no? #ThaliasRibs #Myth'

She then wrote: 'To all my loving Filipino fans, here is the proof! I love my famous ribs, I kept them with me all these years! And the saga continues…'

However, it appears Thalia may be having all of her fans on, after later posting a picture of herself eating ribs, saying 'Theses are mine' and 'Gotcha.'

Thalia has been acting since the age of one, and has sold over 40 million records worldwide.
