Some 457 nude photos of Taiwanese artiste and model Lai Yingyu have surfaced online.

Lai, 23, also known as Nico, is a former member of the band, Blackie Girls.

According to online media reports, the photographs were reportedly taken when Lai was only 17, in 2006.

In some of the leaked photos, Lai appears in self-taken shots together with her boyfriend. They were said to be for the latter's personal collection.

Lai is shown dressed in sexy lingerie and flaunting her curvy 32C figure.

It is not known how the pictures were leaked, but it is believed there may be more photos circulating on the Internet.

Netizens have dubbed Lai a "female sex devil" as a result of the scandal.

Lai, who started modelling at 17, had previously admitted to being a body art model for the Taiwan Photography Union in 2006, reported hugchina.com.

She also took sexy bikini photos as she desperately needed money at the time. They were done without her parents' knowledge, she said.

In another interview, Lai also admitted to having done nude shots on two occasions, but felt "nauseated" afterwards and rejected other offers.
