Kate Beckinsale returned to Instagram with a bang on Wednesday as she shared a very racy collection of snaps and videos, including an eye-popping clip of a man in bondage being walked on a lead.

The British actress, 51, mysteriously deleted all of the posts from her Instagram account last month after she was trolled with cruel comments about her weight. 

Kate then returned three weeks ago to ask her fans to pray for her mother amid her stage four cancer battle, in an emotional post she later deleted.

Now, the star has re-started her feed again with two slideshows full of pictures as she ‘goes back to work’ adding: ‘We work Sundays’ in her caption.

She shared a slew of snaps and videos with the cast of what looks like a bondage show, including a clip of someone jokingly whipping her, as she filmed for her new action thriller Lioness with director James Nunn.

According to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, Kate and Lewis Tan are starring in the movie about ‘an ex-black ops team who reunite to pull off a desperate heist to save the life of their leader’s (Kate) eight-year-old daughter.’

Weeks after wiping her social media account, the actress has restarted her feed again with two slideshows full of pictures as she ‘goes back to work’ adding: ‘We work Sundays’ in her caption

Kate added inches to her height in her usual huge black platform boots, this time embellished with ‘F*** OFF’ in studs on the sides.

The actress also included a clip of herself doing a handstand in metallic silver jeans and a black lacy bra, teamed with the huge shoes.

In one picture, she posed next to the film director in a H๏τel lobby, who was holding up a script.

In another, she embraced actress Mathilde Warnier, who was also on the star-studded film set.

At one point, Kate was lifted up by four men wearing leather and bondage as she grinned and stuck her leg up in the air.

Amongst the wild content, there were also a few more casual snaps of Kate, as well as a sweet picture of her pomeranian Myf wearing a personalised jumper.

Six days before the second posat, she shared an initial slideshow including a glowing mirror selfie of the star glammed up.

Kate looked nothing short of sensational as she wrapped up in a towel in her dressing room, with her blonde locks pulled into a stunning updo.

She included a snap where she was hugging British actor Tom Bennett, who is also on the cast list for Lioness, joking in her caption: ‘Back to work . Managed to hide how pleased I was to see @newmanstings, I think.’ 

It comes after Kate asked for good wishes to be sent to her ‘extraordinary’ mother Judy Loe who she called a ‘warrior’ in her post.

She revealed that her mum was sick last year – just after her stepdad Roy Battersby died in January after suffering ‘a mᴀssive stroke’.

Kate penned in the caption of the post about her mum: ‘I wasn’t going to come back to Instagram but anyone who has a spare prayer or magic or miracle or sunbeam please send it to my mama, my most extraordinary, warrior, generous, humble, loving, unique, irreplaceable Mama.

‘Thank you – Lord, keep her safe this night, secure from all her fears, may angels guard her while she sleeps till morning light appears, amen.’

Alongside the poignant words she shared a series of sweet clips and pH๏τos with her mother.

Kate, the daughter of late Porridge star Richard Beckinsale, didn’t elaborate on the state of her mother’s health in the post.

It was flooded with well wishes from her fans.

Last year Kate spent weeks in hospital with a stress-related tear in her oesophagus after her stepfather, Roy died and her mother developed cancer.

Last July she gave an update on how she was coping, saying: ‘I just think people go through things in their life and we all face difficulties and I’ve been quite transparent about mine.

In another, she embraced actress Mathilde Warnier, who was also on the star-studded film set

Kate stripped down to a black bra and metallic trousers

In one snap, her makeup artist fanned her with a fan reading: ‘DADDY’

Amongst the wild content, there were also a few more casual snaps of Kate

In another story, Kate donned a white and blue striped shirt layered over white lacy underwear

She included a snap where she was hugging British actor Tom Bennett, who is also on the cast list for Lioness, joking in her caption: ‘Back to work . Managed to hide how pleased I was to see @newmanstings, I think’

‘I’ve just been mainly dealing with my mother and she’s doing OK.’

At the time she revealed her weight loss was down to the ‘stress and grief’ of the death of her stepfather and her mother’s cancer diagnosis as she hit back at trolls.

The actress slammed some of her ‘a**hole’ followers, who told her she needed to put on weight in the comments section of an Instagram post at the time.

After sharing a video clip in a crop top and ʙικιɴι bottoms, one follower queried where her ‘a**’ had gone and encouraged Kate to ‘do some squats’.

Another claimed her body had ‘shrank’ while another insisted that she ‘seemed upset’ in the video.

However, Kate fired back at the cruel comments ands explained that there were several reasons for her changed figure, including a six-week hospital stint.

She replied: ‘No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer and I lost a lot of eight from stress and grief…

‘Quite quickly and then I was in hospital for six weeks because the grief had burned a hole in my oesophagus, which made me vomit copious amounts of blood, and I found eating very hard…

‘And I just worked very very hard on a movie that was actually quite triggering because it also involved the theme of the death of my father so I’m not really concerned about what you think about my a**.

Kate showcased her flexiblity in another H๏τel room picture

Her pink cat also featured in the slew of posts

‘Maybe you should worry about your own f***ing a**. I suggest shoving something up it, like a large pineapple or a brick.’

Kate’s stepdad Roy Battersby died last January after suffering ‘a mᴀssive stroke’ while battling two forms of cancer, which he was diagnosed with the summer before.

Shortly after his death, Kate also revealed that her mother Judy had also been told she has stage four cancer.

In recent months, Kate had been caring for her mother and late stepfather after flying them out from the UK to stay with her in Los Angeles.

‘Kate has been caring for her parents, who both have serious illnesses, for most of the year,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com late last year.

In a Mother’s Day post last year, Kate shared a slew of snaps of Judy tucking into cake and enjoying champagne as well as images of herself on the ward amid her health battle and of her dogs playing.

She captioned the images: ‘Happy birthday and UK Mother’s Day this last week to my incredible mother. Thank you to those that love us and support us when it’s s**t and try to make sure there are some bits that aren’t.’

Kate continued: ‘And for looking after our dogs when we can’t, and lead us to remember happy things when we can’t.

‘And turn up when we are sick and sit with us.. And send balloons and check in and pull us out of wells with love.

It comes after Kate asked for good wishes to be sent to her ‘extraordinary’ mother Judy Loe who she called a ‘warrior’ in her post

‘Thank you for loving us, those who do ,and for the amazing, kindest Nick, and especially for my mother’s capacity for joy. It is so inspiring and beautiful.

‘Happy everything mama. Your fight for joy despite also welcoming tears is the experience of watching a warrior up close. I love you x.’

On January 10, Kate announced the death of stepfather Roy aged 87.

An insider revealed at the time that the Snow Angels star — whose biological father Richard Beckinsale died in 1979 at 31 from a heart attack in his sleep — had been feeling the emotional toll in recent months.

‘She was spotted this week several times crying in the corridors of UCLA hospital,’ the source added. ‘Her friends are very concerned that she has been under relentless strain for months and hardly sleeping or eating.

‘Kate appears to be very strong but this has been incredibly hard and, given that she lost her father so young, is affecting her very deeply. Her friends are concerned for her own health.’

A second source explained that her mother Judy had chosen to keep her health battle private, stating: ‘She’s extraordinary, you wouldn’t even know by looking at her. She has been keeping a very positive atтιтude throughout everything.’

Last year, Kate shared a picture of Roy’s order of service that revealed he was cremated on Monday February 19 at Mortlake Crematorium near Kew in west London.

She also shared another look at the document which had a sweet message on, along with more snaps of Roy.

Alongside the emotional Instagram post she shared a series of sweet clips and pH๏τos with her mother

Last year, Kate shared a picture of Roy’s order of service that revealed he was cremated on Monday February 19 at Mortlake Crematorium near Kew in west London 

It read: ‘We wish to thank you, our family and friends, for your loving support and being with us today to honour and commemorate Roy.

‘Please join us afterwards to celebrate him and his life, share memories and stories, and inevitably miss him, knowing how much he would enjoy such a get-together’.

Kate’s mother Judy married Roy 18 years after Kate’s father, Porridge star Richard Beckinsale, died.

Roy enjoyed his own successful career as a director, working on major British on-screen hits including Inspector Morse and Cracker. His most recent directorial credit was for a 2006 episode of A Touch Of Frost.

Kate’s biological father Richard Beckinsale was best known for his roles as Lennie Godber in the BBC sitcom Porridge and Alan Moore in the ITV sitcom Rising Damp.

He also had a daughter — Samantha, 55 — who is his only child from his marriage to Margaret Bradley.
