Nicole Trunfio hits back at claims she's too skinny in new topless Maxim shoot

 It has only been less than twenty-four hours since Nicole Trunfio's sizzling Maxim magazine cover shoot was released on social media.

And the 28-year-old The Face Australia mentor has already raised eyebrows across the globe, proving she has what it takes to even upstage her enemy, modelling legend Naomi Campbell.
The stunner strips down to just a skimpy pair of blood-orange lingerie bottoms, and whilst fans and media have claimed that the brunette beauty is too skinny, Nicole has hit back that she is far from unhealthy.

'Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is very important to me, I need my body to be in top condition for my work,' she told the MailOnline. 

Responding to claims from media outlets including TheFix, who suggested she may be teetering a little on the skinny side, Nicole added, 'I treat my body well, I work out daily and I keep to a nutritious diet, with a huge priority on lean protein and lots of greens!'

Nicole was seeking out the next generation on her reality show alongside Campbell and Cheyenne Tozzi, but this shoot proves that she's as big a part of the industry's future as anyone.

She has made something of a habit of bearing much of her skin in recent months, mainly through racy Instagram snaps.
