In the photo, the star posed on a day bed wearing her grey one-piece swimsuit and square-shaped sunglasses.
However, in the background, fans spotted a beach-goer planked on the next lounger and jokingly said they looked unconscious, but they were probably just sunbathing.
One user commented: “Photobombed by the lady behind you who looks unconscious 😄.”
Another jokingly added: “Give her a nudge she may be burnt to a crisp by now.”

Melinda shot to fame in the mid-90s when she was featured in a local double glazing company’s advert in her lingerie.
The billboard caught national attention, and she quickly became Britain’s top glamour model.
Fast forward nearly three decades, and she has swapped modelling for TV and continues to be a household name.
Her TV career then began in 1997 on Channel 4’s Eurotrash, where she featured as a “roving reporter” in erotic scenarios, including modelling fetish wear and acting as a nude magician’s assistant.
After this, she switched to mainstream telly and hosted her own show called Live from Studio Five.
Earlier this year, Melinda split from her fiancé Dr Raj Joshi just six months after getting engaged.
She met the hunky doctor while filming Celebrity SAS in 2022 but has now called off their wedding after a string of rows over their lifestyle.
A source said: “Melinda is still a glam girl at the end of the day – and a life of adventure wasn’t really in her plans.
“They fell fast and had an amazing year or so travelling the world, but decided to call it quits this year.
“Melinda is gutted because she thought he was the one after they bonded over such an amazing experience.”
They added: ”The wedding is off. They are no longer in touch.”
