Rachel Johnson 'bared her breasts' on live television in the midst of a discussion about Brexit.

The sister of Boris Johnson told the Sky News audience that her 'nakedness' was in solidarity to Cambridge University's pro-EU campaigner Victoria Bateman - who took off her clothes on BBC Radio 4 and Good Morning Britain earlier this week.

Rachel, 54, left her co-hosts stunned as she began unbuttoning her blouse before introducing news show The Pledge on Thursday (February 14).

"As I know it can be hard to get your voice heard about Brexit nowadays," she said.

"It feels like we've hit the saturation point. Enter pro-EU campaigner Victoria Bateman who's come up with a striking way this week to get herself noticed.

"Appearing across the media completely starkers to make various points about Brexit – leaving Britain naked.

"So in tribute to Dr Baker I’ve decided to follow suit – every time we decide to talk about Brexit just to make sure I get noticed."

Rachel has since confirmed on twitter she was wearing a 'boob tube' which wasn't visible due to blurring.

Dr Bateman is an economics fellow at Cambridge University, as well as a feminist campaigner and an anti-Brexit protester.

In July 2016, she walked naked into a meeting at the faculty of economics with 'Brexit Leaves Britain naked' written across her breasts and stomach, in protest at the result of the EU referendum earlier that year.

She previously told GMB presenters, Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley, that she protests naked because she wants to deliver an "important message" - and wants to set an example to women that they don't always have to use their bodies for more than just sex and babies.

Dr Bateman added that she had penned thousands of words on why Brexit would be bad for Britain - but is "affected much more by visuals than words alone."

A "passionate remainer", Dr Bateman says she believes the EU will be bad for Britain's economy, which is already suffering - from "housing to the NHS" - and doesn't believe the European Union is the cause of those problems.

Since then, she has challenged Tory MP and Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg to a naked debate about Brexit.

He declined to take his clothes off but invited her onto his LBC show to talk.

It has not been confirmed yet if she will appear on the show.
