Pop star Ricky Martin has titillated fans on Instagram by sharing a sexy nude photo to stir up excitement for his return to the Las Vegas stage.

The Livin' La Vida Loca hitmaker sent temperatures soaring on Thursday (04Jan18) when he posted the picture, which was taken from a distance and appeared to feature the singer/actor fresh out of the shower in his hotel suite, holding up a white towel to his groin to preserve his modesty.

He tagged the location as the Park Theater Las Vegas, where he performs his All In residency show inside the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino.

"A moment in Vegas... We are back to Vegas! Get your tickets NOW," he captioned the saucy snap.

Ricky launched the concert series last April (17), and performed his final 2017 gigs there in September. He will next hit the Park Theater stage in March (18).

Meanwhile, the Latin star is currently also promoting his role as the lover of Gianni Versace in the upcoming TV drama, American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

He portrays Antonio D'Amico, opposite Edgar Ramírez as the late Italian fashion designer, in the new series, which he recently admitted would feature some revealing scenes.

"Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do," he smiled on Tuesday's (02Jan18) episode of America's The Ellen DeGeneres Show, as he discussed promotional images of Ricky - as Antonio - sporting a tiny pair of swimming trunks. "And it gets better though, to be honest. I show my tush (backside) for the first time on television."

The show, which also stars Penelope Cruz and Darren Criss, premieres in the U.S. on 17 January (18).
