Newly-single Ariel Winter flaunts her body in saucy bathtub snap

Sexy Ariel Winter is giving her ex a taste of what he's missing by posting saucy shots on Instagram.

The Modern Family star recently split from on/off boyfriend Laurent Claude Gaudette and took to social media on Saturday (25Jun16) to let followers know she was single again.

She wrote: "When you're surprised that people just haven't gotten it yet..." and then added a throwback clip of Kim Kardashian stating, "I'm dropping hints that I'm single."

The post ended days of cryptic notes from Ariel, suggesting she and Laurent had ended their romance for good.

And even though he has stopped following her on Instagram, she has started flaunting her curves for fans.

In one new shot, the actress poses in a bathtub on the set of her new movie Dog Years - and she looks nothing like her bespectacled plain Jane character in Modern Family.

Covered up by bubbles and surrounded by candles and what looks like a glass of wine, Ariel insisted the shot isn't quite as racy as it seems.

She captioned the titillating picture: "Today's office... relax everyone it's cranberry juice and I'm wearing lady bit pasties."

The 18-year-old also celebrated two million Twitter followers earlier this week (beg27Jun16) by posting a cheeky bikini photo online. Posing from behind during a boat trip, Ariel made it clear she's young, single and ready to mingle.

She captioned the saucy shot: "2 million!!! Wow! I can't believe it... love you guys so much."

Winter has made a habit of showing off her body in recent months, posing for beach shots she posted online during a vacation with her ex in April (16).
