Vanessa Hudgens has put her nude photo scandal behind her and signed a deal to reprise her role in High School Musical 3.

The starlet has also reportedly nabbed herself a pay rise to rejoin co-star Zac Efron for the next instalment of the hit musical.

Vanessa was rumored to have been dropped by Disney after pictures of her posing nude circulated on the web.

A source told a US magazine: “A source said: “Disney finally decided that they don’t want her back. They feel that as long as Zac Efron is in the movie, all will be fine.

“He’s the real star – the household name – and, most importantly, he comes without baggage.”

However, the studio later vowed to stand by the scandal-hit star.
