Ricki-Lee Coulter stuns fans with bizarre optical illusion in Instagram photo

Ricki-Lee Coulter has sent her fans into a frenzy with her latest Instagram post.

On Tuesday, the 34-year-old singer shared a sweet photo of herself cuddling a friend’s newborn baby.

But the placement of the child’s arm against her white T-shirt created a very deceiving optical illusion.

Ricki-Lee’s post was flooded with comments from followers who had initially thought she was breastfeeding the baby.

‘Dead set thought you were breastfeeding the baby,’ one fan wrote. 

Another added: ‘I had to look twice, it looks like you are breastfeeding at first glance.’

A third follower commented: ‘For a second, at first glance I thought you were feeding and I thought, “Hang on, you don’t have a baby.”‘ 

‘Okay… for a split second I thought you had your boob out,’ a fourth wrote.

The Australia’s Got Talent host responded to the comments, writing: ‘I just saw what you were all talking about. I’m definitely not breastfeeding my friend’s baby!’

While she clearly loves children, Ricki-Lee has previously said that she and her husband, Richard Harrison, do not want kids themselves.

‘It’s a completely personal decision. You can’t tell people how to live their lives. You don’t know what people are going through, if they can’t have kids, or are trying, or have lost a baby,’ she said in July last year.

‘For me, it’s simply: I don’t want kids. People on the street ask me, “When are you and Rich having kids?” Stop!’
