A host of British male celebrities have started panicking after a mass leak of sex tape online. According to the Sun, sources claimed that leaked tapes of A-List celebrities appeared after one of the accounts on Celebrity Busted website was hacked.

The international X-rated website has already published intimate videos of medal-winning Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, 27, "Britain’s Got Talent" 2008 winner George Sampson, 23, and current "Celebrity Big Brother" contestant Calum Best, 35. Other celebrities whose intimate recordings were also compromised include diver Chris Mears, TV show "Coronation Street" star Shayne Ward, ex-contestant of "Strictly Come Dancing" Ben Cohen, "The Only Way Is Essex" star Kirk Norcross and "X Factor" star Sam Callahan.

“Celebrity Busted has become notorious for its collection of pictures and sex tapes of famous men that they have collected over the years," a source told the Sun. “They have published select highlights on their social media accounts of some of the stars but many have remained secret."

The source added: “Their archive is thought to include pics and videos of very high-profile celebrity men, including two of the BBC’s household names, very well-known British movie and soap actors, and pop stars too."

On Tuesday, the Sun reported that British professional boxer Amir Khan's alleged tape on Skype with a female model was leaked. It’s believed the tape was made just weeks after he married Faryal Makhdoom.

According to the source, one of Celebrity Busted’s accounts was hacked because of which videos of Amir Khan, Louis Smith, George Sampson and Calum Best were all released, leaving the celebrities in panic.

Most of the videos released allegedly show the celebrities engaging in solo sex acts while in a two-way conversation with female models who have not been identified.

“This is a case of famous celebrities being approached by beautiful glamour models via social media sites like Twitter or Instagram," another source reportedly said. “They swap Skype usernames and arrange to have phone sex over the video service. It’s possible to record the Skype conversations so the assumption is that the models have made recordings which are then given to Celebrity Busted and ­ultimately leaked online.”

The latest incident has given rise to speculation that this could be a second "fappening" case. The Fappening is a subreddit that was created for pictures and news relating to the leaked images that were first posted on 4chan in 2014. Naked images of celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens appeared on 4chan after they were stolen from users' iCloud accounts. This incident gained spotlight in 2014 and was known as "the Fappening."
