Miley Cyrus could be facing her most damaging scandal yet if alleged near-naked photos of the Hannah Montana star go public.

The Disney star's wholesome image took another battering last week when snaps of the 15-year-old posing in a wet T-shirt in the shower appeared on an internet forum.

The user who posted the pictures claims that Miley sent the saucy snaps to rumoured former boyfriend Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers

He also claims to be in possession of a further six - more explicit - photos, which he is apparently shopping around.

One blogger – who claims to have viewed the entire set - has described each photo in detail, with the general theme being that they show Miley posing in various states of undress and leaving very little to the imagination.

Whatever the truth to these claims - and whether or not the pictures ever go public - is Miley becoming too much of a liability for her Disney employers?
