Kim Kardashian West has become the latest celebrity to allegedly have naked photographs leaked online.

However, it is not known whether the racy photographs of Kim are authentic or where they were allegedly stolen from, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

Meanwhile, it is believed a nude image of Liam Payne, 21, was also published on Twitter this morning and allegedly shows someone with a resemblance to the singer sitting on a bed wearing nothing but a black hat, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.

The One Direction hunk is yet to comment on the alleged naked photograph of himself and the snap is still circulating on the social networking site.

Meanwhile, more than 100 celebrities were affected by the scandal last month after an unidentified hacker stole explicit images and videos from Apple's iCloud service.

Apple said it was "outraged" by the attack and encouraged users to update their accounts with a "strong" password and enable two-step verification.

Other stars believed to have been targeted in the hacking scandal, include Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Hudgens, Lake Bell, Rihanna and Kirsten Dunst.
