Gillian Anderson stripped off to raise awareness about collapsing fish stocks (Picture: Fishlove/Rouvre)

In one of the weirder images we’ve seen today, X-Files and The Fall actress Gillian Anderson poses naked with a massive conger eel thrown round her neck.

The picture forms part of a photographic campaign called Fishlove seeking to highlight the issue of diminishing fish stocks, the message being that British taxpayers’ money is being given to French fishing trawlers to destroy the deep seabed in British waters.

A petition has been launched in support of the campaign, aiming to attract 10,000 signatures.

The collection was taken by French portrait photographer Denis Rouvre and also sees Olivia Williams, Goldie and a number of French celebrities in the nude while holding various fish.
