She’s the former Home and Away actress who is often hailed for her flawless figure.
But Pia Miller, 34, was forced to defend a skimpy bikini snap on Wednesday, after one of her Instagram followers claimed it was ‘inconsiderate’ and ‘tasteless’.
The mother-of-two displayed her slender physique in a stylish green two-piece in the photo – but it was her jewellery that was the focus.
What’s wrong with this photo? Pia Miller was criticised for this bikini selfie on Tuesday and the former Home and Away star was forced to explain the busty Instagram snap
The exotic model, who was born in Chile, was pictured wearing a cross necklace and one fan deemed the photo to be inappropriate.
‘You look absolutely beautiful @piamiller but I must say it is a bit inconsiderate/tasteless to wear a holy symbol in a bikini shot. Wish a lot of blessings to you and your family,’ the comment read.
Pia responded writing: ‘My grandmother left it for me and it never comes off.’

Not the first time: Pia was also pictured with the same cross necklace while wearing a bikini in a photo shared to Instagram on June 14
Last year, the Logie-nominated actress spoke about her christian faith to Elle magazine Australia.
‘I was always curious and I’ve always thought broadly and widely about who we are, where we come from, what this means, and when I stumbled across Christianity, I fell in love with that aspect of it,’ she said.
‘Not the institution, not religion or what can seem like dogma, but the relational aspect between human and God, that exchange, and the principles of how we ought to treat each other.’
