Holly Willoughby has reportedly been threatened by hackers who claim to have obtained ‘X-rated photos’ of the This Morning host for ‘humiliation’ online.

New reports claim that 36-year-old Holly joins British socialite Millie Mackintosh, 27, on a new list of names to be taunted about online content ‘stolen’ and threatened for reuse.

The alleged victims were named in the same week that moviestars Emma Watson, 26, and Amanda Seyfried, 31, faced the reported leak of private pictures.

Targeted? Holly Willoughby has been named as the latest star in a list of ‘dozens’ reportedly hacked by online trolls who are threatening to publish ‘X-rated’ pictures of the star

On Monday, The Sun published claims that Holly and Millie are just two of ‘dozens’ more celebrities – including Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kylie Jenner – to be targeted by trolls.

Hackers are said to have ‘guessed passwords of stars’ social media accounts,’ thus intercepting their private messaging services to torment them about the existence of bait they could use for online forums.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Holly Willoughby, Kylie Jenner and Millie Mackintosh, following the claims.

Despite the reports, a source close to Holly went on to deny the existence of the pictures, telling the newspaper: ‘Holly is unconcerned as these are baseless accusations as far as she is concerned.’

One of the British stars targeted in a leak earlier this month, included former child star and Harry Potter actress Emma.

Personal pictures of the Beauty And The Beast leading lady taken during a swimsuit fitting were said to have been leaked onto the ‘dark web’ last Tuesday after her computer was reportedly hacked.

Directly addressing the issue, Emma denied that pictures in the same post – featuring an unknown woman in the bath with her face cropped out – were her.

In a statement released in response, Emma’s team said: ‘Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen.

‘They are not nude photographs. Lawyers have been instructed and we are not commenting further.’

Violation: Stars already targeted with the action have sought legal advice over similar alleged hacks

Meanwhile, Hollywood actress Amanda – who is pregnant with her first child – has also threatened a website with legal action if they don’t take the images down.

A letter from her legal team, seen by website TMZ, states: ‘Several very private photographs of Ms. Seyfried either in various states of nudity or in intimate moments with her former boyfriend (the ‘Seyfried Photographs’) have been reproduced and posted.’

The batch of images of Amanda are also believed to have been posted on ‘the dark web’, a matrix of encrypted websites that allow users to surf with anonymity.

The intimate photos that were stolen are from her time with actor Justin Long, whom she dated from 2013 to 2015.

It is unclear if the photos were stolen from Long or Seyfried’s device. 

Last month, a 29-year-old Chicago man was jailed for nine months for hacking into the electronic accounts of celebrities – including Jennifer Lawrence – on Apple’s iCloud service, and stealing private information including nude videos and photos.

Dozens of stars’ photos were posted online as part of the 2014 phishing exercise, including shots of Rihanna, Kate Upton and Kirsten Dunst. Apple admitted a “targeted attack,” but denied its cloud storage system had been breached.
