Les Misérables actress Samantha Barks has joined forces with PETA to star in its new advert, which explains that fish suffocate when pulled out of water, with the tag line 'Imagine Not Being Able to Breathe'.

Barks poses submerged in a tank of cold water for the campaign, which asks 'Please Try to Relate, and Keep Fish off Your Plate'. PETA Director, Mimi Bekhechi, said 'PETA are delighted to have teamed up with Samantha Barks, a long-time vegetarian, to encourage the public to help all animals by leaving them off their plates'.
