Two-time Brit Award–winning singer Joss Stone is the latest in a long line of celebrities to speak out against the killing of bears in the name of tradition.

The sultry soul and R&B singer, who starred in The Tudors and Eragon, poses naked for PETA with a teddy bear clutched to her chest to draw attention to the plight of bears who are cruelly killed to make the Queen’s Guards’ ceremonial caps.

She may be the girl Coronation Street fans love to hate, but Kate Ford is definitely not the character she plays on screen.

Ford – who plays Tracey Barlow on the long running ITV show – has put her support behind the Baby Lifeline campaign, an initiative designed to honor the thousands of midwives, doctors, nurses and paramedics who help save the lives of special care infants every year in the UK.

“Giving birth is hard, but it’s just as hard for midwives who work round the clock to give the best care possible,” said Ford. “You feel so vulnerable, but a good midwife makes you feel safe. The people who work in these units are unsung heroes, and if anyone has had a positive experience giving birth, whether premature or not, this is their chance to say ‘thank you’ for all the fantastic work the staff do.”
