A BRIGHOUSE mum-to-be braved freezing temperatures to get naked in the name of goose cruelty.

Lynzi Waddington was one of five campaigners who peeled off their layers outside a London department store to halt the sale of cruelly-produced foie gras.

The shivering protesters stopped shoppers as they posed topless for 40 minutes wearing only red silk knickers.

They carried red roses and heart-shaped signs saying: “Have a Heart – Drop Foie Gras” to persuade bosses at Selfridges to follow other major food stores by removing the delicacy from its shelves.

Vegetarian Lynzi, 24, said: “It was excellent. It was such a liberating experience – it makes you feel alive.”

But it wasn’t the first time Lynzi has got her kit off for a good cause.

The Kirklees College student has also bared all for three years running in the Spanish Running of the Nudes protest against bullfighting.
