Jersey Shore star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi has become the latest celebrity victim of a naked photo scandal after revealing snaps of the reality TV star were leaked online.

Candid shots of the pregnant star surfaced on Friday and her publicist has confirmed the photos, which feature Snooki completely naked and in an untied robe, are of her client.

The representative tells E! News, "Clearly these are old and personal photos that were not meant for the public. It's a shame someone decided to leak them for obvious personal gain."

It is not known who leaked the photos.

(You can see the censored version of the photos at the UK's Daily Mail website.)
