    A rep for the star has slammed the racy online photos as '100 per cent fake'

    Gossip Girl Blake Lively found herself at the centre of a nude photo scandal earlier this week, when scores of racy pictures, supposedly stolen from the starlet's iPhone, made their way online.

    But yesterday a rep for the star slammed the steamy snaps, insisting the ‘photoshopped’ pictures are ‘100 per cent fake’.

    The grainy photographs, which appear to show the actress in a series of different naked poses around a hotel room, were reportedly stolen from the star by a hacker, before surfacing on celebrity website TMZ earlier this week.

    It’s thought more than 20 of the snaps are currently circulating the internet, with some fans claiming the phone shown in the picture is similar to one Blake was seen with on set.

    But yesterday a rep for the Gossip Girl starlet slammed the snaps, claiming the ‘fake’ pictures had been doctored.

    'Blake has never taken nude photos of herself,’ a spokesman told People. 

    'Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner.'
