Naked lady spotted on balcony at England team hotel

With England needing victory against Uruguay to keep their hopes of staying in the World Cup alive on Thursday, the last thing they need is any distractions.

But as the team were away training at their Sugarloaf Mountain training base in Rio, pictures emerged of a naked lady at their hotel.

                                  Cover up: Maybe next time she should get dressed inside

Mystery surrounds the identity of the woman, however, who was on the balcony just one floor below the room where Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has been staying in at the five-star Royal Tulip hotel.

The lady is not connected in any way with the squad and believed to be a guest at the luxury resort situated nearby to the Copacabana beach.

There is an increased security presence at the hotel with England staying there throughout the duration of their spell in the finals.

Just days before the Three Lions opening Group D defeat by Italy, three fans managed to make their way past 20 armed guards after saying they needed to use the toilet.

Andy Richardson, 22, Alex Hill, 20, and Josh Pearce, 19 had selfies taken with Roy Hodgson's team.

Security are on on duty 24-hours a day for the month-long tournament as the team enjoy the hotel's indoor and outdoor pools, superior restaurants and bars.

On patrol: There is an increased security presence at the hotel during the World Cup

In contrast to previous tournaments, England have just two floors of the 17-floor, 418-room hotel, with the public and fellow guests allowed to mingle freely with them.

In May, the FA insisted it wasn't worried about England's World Cup hotel even though out-of-date food was seized from the Royal Tulip. 

Health inspectors took 2.362kg of unusable butter as well as salmon and Parma ham. Bizarrely, the luxury venue was also fined for not providing condoms to guests.

But as for the naked lady, she did manage to eventually find some clothes!
