Lynzi – who is expecting her first baby in July – said she couldn’t miss out on the action this time.

She said: “It was a bit last minute, but I really wanted to do it.

“Nobody wants to get their kit off but sometimes you just have to do it to get attention. We do this to make people listen and hopefully change things.

“I don’t think anything living should be treated in such a cruel way. It is just awful.”

The protest was organised by animal rights charity Peta (Peace for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) which believes the production of foie gras – which involves pumping the stomachs of geese with grain, maize and fat to make their livers swell to ten times their normal size – should be banned.

Robbie LeBlanc, the campaign’s Europe director, said: “Peta supporters are quite willing to go starkers to expose the naked truth behind this torture in a tin.”
