Kidman denies nude photos claim

Nicole Kidman has denied claims that she had professional photographs taken of her pregnant body.

It was reported last week that the actress had posed naked for renowned snapper Patrick Demarchelier ahead of the birth of her first child with husband Keith Urban.

However, she described the rumours as "hilarious", insisting that she kept her clothes on during the session.

She told the Daily Mail: "It's total nonsense. It was not that kind of a shoot. It's madness to think I did that or was even asked to do that. I'm just looking forward to having and caring for our baby."
