Radcliffe strips down naked rumours

Daniel Radcliffe has hit back at reports he will shed his clothes for the next Harry Potter movie - insisting rumours of a saucy scene aren't true.

The 20 year old, who previously bared all onstage in Equus, was rumoured to be flashing his flesh again in the next installment of the wizard franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.

Italian magazine Sorrisi e Canzoni appeared to confirm the reports, quoting director David Yates as saying: "Daniel Radcliffe appears naked in one scene. In the view we see Harry and a woman embracing and kissing. It’s an intriguing scene and very sensual."

But a representative for Radcliffe is adamant the truth was lost in translation, telling GossipCop the story is a "complete fabrication."
