She’s faced continued accusations of fabricating a kidnap bid for publicity, but Chloe Ayling appears to be sending a coded message to those who insist she has something to hide.
The model, 20, from Coulsdon, South London has shrugged off the furore to share her raciest snap today, which sees her posing totally naked.
Chloe decided to let the image do the talking, posting the sultry black and white snap to Instagram without any caption.
The blonde, who was pictured facing away from the camera while gazing over one shoulder, showed off her very curvy derriere in the image.
Chloe is no doubt hoping her latest snap will detract attention over continued criticism surrounding her actions since her alleged ordeal in July.
The mother-of-one claims she was snatched and held hostage after being lured to a fake modelling shoot in Milan.
Hinting she has nothing to hide? Model Chloe Ayling, 20, from South London posted this very cheeky snap to Instagram as allegations that she fabricated her kidnap continue to swirl
The mother-of-one was allegedly kidnapped and held for six days after being lured to a photoshoot in Milan
According to Ms Ayling, she was snatched, drugged and held for six days at remote farmhouse by a group calling itself Black Death.
The model’s alleged captor, Lukasz Herba, 30, is in custody in Milan, having been arrested after delivering Ms Ayling to the British Embassy.
He has said he did not knowingly take part in any crime.
At a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London, District Judge Paul Goldspring ruled that his 36-year-old brother, Michal Herba, should be extradited to Italy to face trial.

The Polish brothers, along with other ‘unidentified’ accomplices, are accused of kidnapping the model before demanding a 300,000 euro (£264,000) ransom.
However, in court Mr Herba’s lawyer, George Hepburne Scott raised questions over the account given by Ms Ayling.
‘There is a real risk that the entire case is a sham,’ he said.
The lawyer also pointed to an alleged incident during which Ms Ayling and her captor went shopping for shoes, calling it a ‘wholly anomalous feature of a hostage situation’.
She also went to breakfast with the kidnapper before her release when the pair found the British consulate was closed, Mr Scott added.
Last week, Ms Ayling appeared on This Morning to defend herself against accusations she was cynically profiting from her ordeal
Chloe Aylin has faced questions over whey she apparently went on a shopping trip with her alleged abductors
‘It would amount to an abuse of process of the court if there was any evidence to suggest this was a publicity stunt,’ he told the judge.
‘This case has a unique set of anomalies which might lead to the conclusion that the Italian authorities have been duped and that their process has been abused.
Meanwhile Ms Ayling has faced accusations of profiting from her alleged ordeal after being paid for television interviews and writing a book.
Speaking on ITV’s This Morning last week, Ms Ayling insisted that the truth would be revealed when the men accused of being involved in her abduction appear in court.
Piers asked her: ‘Does it help you to be apparently seen to be exploiting all this for financial gain when we haven’t even had the trial yet?’
Ms Ayling replied: ‘No, because I am not modelling anymore. I am not with an agent, so I have to do something in the mea
ntime.’
Addressing reports she lied to police about the shopping trip with one of the alleged kidnappers, she said: ‘I didn’t lie, I just brushed it off.’
However Piers referred to evidence from a local shopkeeper, who claimed they had seen Ms Ayling with her alleged kidnappers.

When asked why she made no attempt to escape, the model insisted that she feared for her life
He said: ‘A shopkeeper claims to have seen you with one of the kidnappers laughing, buying shoes, laughing and joking without a care in the world.
‘This has raised a lot of eyebrows about why on earth you would go shopping with one of the alleged kidnappers.’
And when asked why she did not attempt to escape, she replied: ‘I couldn’t flee because he was armed.
‘I was completely brainwashed into thinking there was a whole massive crime organisation against me. I thought I would still be killed if I escaped.’
The young mother has faced criticism for signing a book deal and being paid for TV appearances since her ordeal
She added: ‘No one understands the reasoning. Unless you were in my position, and actually went through what I’ve been through, no one can tell me how I should have behaved with the kidnapper or how I should be reacting now.’
Piers responded: ‘I think if you’re going to conduct media interviews where you’re being paid money, and you’re doing a book for thousands of pounds before there has even been a trial, I think we’re perfectly entitled to ask you difficult questions.
‘So you’re not being unfairly judged. You’re sitting here because you’re promoting yourself.’
