Working with the animal rights organisation, Charlotte spoke about how the 2013 documentary Blackfish influenced the way she feels about SeaWorld.

She said: "I would feel so claustrophobicbeinginsuch a small space.

“Youwouldstarttogoalittlebitinsane.You’rejustlooking at the same place every single day and it’s not right. It’s not normal.

“Obviously, it's massively cruel, and I just want everyone to know that.

“When people are educated on that, it may change their minds to ever stepping in a park again." In the advert, Charlotte can be seen wearing a t-shirt reading ‘SeaWorld sucks.’
