A PORN star found herself in the wrong kind of X-rated movie when she was savaged by a vicious SHARK on camera.

Plucky Molly Cavalli donned a barely-there one-piece swimsuit to film a 'shark cage' promo for adult entertainment company Camsoda.

But the shoot went horribly wrong when a ten-feet lemon shark broke through the metal barrier and took a chunk out of her foot and ankle.

Molly is then seen desperately scrambling to get out of the water and back to the safety of the film crew's boat.

Once out of the bloody waters she screams when she sees the full extent of her injuries.

Friends try to comfort the star as she burst into tears.

It had been hoped Cavalli’s risky stunt would help show off custom built technology to support underwater live feeds from anywhere in the world.

Not surprisingly, the terrifying incident meant the shoot had to be cut short so they could dash Molly to a nearby hospital.

Molly later took to Instagram to reassure her fans she was okay.

“Thanks for your well wishes guys,” she wrote.

“I’m totally fine. It's not as bad as it seems. I'm healing quickly. It was still an amazing experience.”

The blonde beauty received 20 stitches to repair the horror wound in hospital, reports the Daily Star.

The shocking clip has been seen by thousands of people since being uploaded on YouTube.

“That's a really poorly designed shark cage,” wrote one.

“How can a shark just sneak in like that.”

Others questioned whether the incident was for real or simply a grisly publicity stunt.

Earlier this week footage showed the terrifying moment a 25ft-long shark stalked a dad and son's fishing boat off the Cornish coast.

While last month a monster shark weighing 36 stone was reeled in off the Devon coast.

And it's not just sharks that have been hitting the headlines - yesterday we told how a tourist was mauled by a Komodo dragon after refusing to pay for a tour guide.
