Melbourne - Olympic swimming golden girl Stephanie Rice, who had got into some hot water over the years due to social networking, shared yet another racy image - this time in her birthday suit.
The 24-year-old posted the image on Instagram earlier on Monday, thanking her friend and swimwear designer Ellie Gonsalves for the bikini - a 24th birthday present.
Confidential’s initial fear that the spruiking of a alternative swimwear brand to Speedo might be a conflict of interests for Rice were laid to rest by her management.
“No, Stephanie isn’t an ambassador for Ellie Gonsalves, she just loves their stuff. She doesn’t have any relationship with Speedo anymore so there are no restrictions there,†the Daily telegraph quoted the management as saying.
Rice’s latest self-portrait follows a string of similarly revealing posts over the years - her most-famous remaining that policewoman’s costume unveiled on Facebook back in 2008 and, more-recently her red cozzi, post-break-up portrait posted in Twitter soon after her split from Wallaby Quade Cooper.
