Brave: Love Island’s Faye Winter, 27, covered her naked body in monchrome paint on Friday while posing in a bathtub in central London during PETA protest
The centre of Faye’s body was covered in white paint, with her arms, hips and the outside of her legs painted in black.
While the TV personality donned a matching monchrome eye look and red lip for the protest, sitting in a large bathtub, which read: ‘Could you live in a bathtub? Boycott marine amusement parks.’

‘Orcas living in tanks that would be equivalent to us living in baths! I always wanted to be apart of important movements and believe all beautiful creatures deserve lives free from torture like the sealife that currently live in Loro Parque in Tenerife (one example) where @Jet2pics still sell excursion to!
‘These parks cannot exists if we cut the profit so please I urge you not to buy tickets and hopefully these animal can be offered lives in sanctuaries that already give a safe haven to these stunning souls! 3 orcas have already died in the last 18 month at the Loro Parque in Tenerife, how many more before we take a stand?
‘I ask you to comment on @jet2pics pictures and hopefully they will make the same steps as @britishairways @airbnb and @expedia by not selling tickets! Love always Faye x,’ she concluded.
Brands such as British Airways have an animal welfare policy in place, meaning they no longer promote or sell tickets to these types of amusement parks.

Faye, who volunteers and fosters for Guide Dogs UK, has been open about her love for animals since appearing on ITV2 dating show Love Island.
And it’s not the first time she’s stood up for their protection, previously working with PETA on their Faux Bear Fur campaign.
The campaign asked the public to urge the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to replace the bearskins used for the Queen’s Guard’s caps – with Faye taking part in a photoshoot earlier this year to promote this.
