Australian Idol star Ricki-Lee Coulter has unwittingly been caught up in a porn scandal after lewd photos of a man incorrectly identified as her husband were forwarded to a newspaper.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper was e-mailed the raunchy shots of Coulter's family friend, Aaron Crawford, which were taken from a porn website.
Coulter took Crawford as a partner to the Urban Music Awards in 2006 — but photos taken at the event incorrectly identified him as Coulter's husband, Jamie Babbington.
The mistake was published in several magazines, leading to the mistaken belief that it was Babbington posing for the nude website.
"This is a very serious case of mistaken identity, and one which has devastated Ricki-Lee and Jamie," Coulter's representative Lauren Brown told the Telegraph.
"They have spoken to Aaron about it and he has apologised profusely for his regrettable actions, but mostly, they want to make it known that Jamie has never been involved in any type of porn shoot."
Coulter shot to fame in 2004 when she was bundled out of the second season of Idol despite being a crowd favourite.
The singer, who married Babbington last year, is said to have known Crawford for many years.
The Telegraph reported the 21-year-old Crawford agreed to do the porn shoot for the website three years ago.
