Katie Price in fresh trouble after sunbathing topless on Maldives beach

Katie Price could face a police probe after stripped almost naked to sunbathe topless in the Maldives.

During a family break to the luxury holiday destination, the ex-glamour model was pictured posing in a variety of busty tops and swimwear.

But she then went completely nude on her top half to frolick in the sea, wearing nothing but a pair of skimpy bikini bottoms as she waded through the warm waves of the Indian Ocean.

“This is against the law and we take these allegations very seriously," a Maldives Police Service spokesman told The Sun.

The Maldives, made up of more than 200 islands, is an Islamic country and has strict laws on tourists' behaviour and dress while they're visiting.

Nude or topless sunbathing is not permitted – even on the relatively laid-back resort islands – and in some parts of the country, bikinis and revealing clothing that shows anything below the elbows, knees or shoulders is banned.

Public displays of affection are also frowned upon in the stricter areas – something Katie and Kieran might want to bear in mind.
