Lucy Hale is facing a potential legal battle after a gossip site posted two topless photos of the star on their webpage.

The site, called Celeb Jihad, is renowned for posting nude, stolen images of female celebrities.

The site describes itself as covering "explosive celebrity gossip from Islamic extremists."

The page uploaded two screen shots of topless photos, which the Pretty Little Liars star alleges were stolen from her phone by a hacker.

This would mean that the photos were obtained illegally and legal action could be taken against anyone who publishes them. 

The website is known for "exposing" celebrities and is also considered to be a porn site.

Lucy's legal team have sent a letter to the site requesting the removal of the images.

This comes after Emma Watson's lawyers filed a successful cease and desist case against the site, after images of her in a sheer top which exposed her nipples were uploaded to the page.

The images have since been removed. Here's to hoping Lucy's lawyers get the same result.
