Vanessa Hudgens has opened up about her past nude photo scandal, admitting that it is "frustrating" that people cannot forget it.

The High School Musical actress was forced to issue an apology after a private image showing her naked was leaked on to the internet in 2007.

Speaking to Allure, she said: "It's just really unfortunate, and to this day people hate me for it, but it's not like I chose to put that out there in the world, you know?

"It's so aggravating and frustrating, and whenever anybody asks me, would I do nudity in a film, if I say that it's something I'm not comfortable with, they're like, 'Bulls**t, you've already done it'. "

She added: "If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It's screwed up that someone screwed me over like that. At least some people are learning from my mistakes."
