Ex Love Islander Brett Staniland and Other Influencers Attend a Protest Against Pretty Little Thing

Molly-Mae Hague's PrettyLittleThing catwalk event was mobbed by protesters, with a season seven Love Island star, Brett Staniland joining the demonstration.

The "activists" were protesting against the parent company of PrettyLittleThing, the Boohoo Fashion Group, and their contributions to the climate crisis.

They were also taking a stand against 'wage theft' and the low incomes of apparel workers.

Protesters outside the event were seen holding up signs against the retailer, with one reading: "PLT Creative Director salary: £4.8 million. PLT garment maker salary: £7,280."

The sign concluded: "Same 24 hours in a day." This seemed to be in reference to comments made by Molly-Mae on a podcast last month which sparked controversy.

Brett Staniland, 27, who appeared on Love Island last year, is believed to have been among the group. He's understood to have held up a sign criticising PLT himself.

The sign read: "There's nothing 'pretty' about wage theft."

However, one source criticized Brett for showing up at the protest saying: "I was so shocked to see Brett here, he went on a show sponsored by fast fashion."

Despite the protests, Molly-Mae, 22 seemed to have a fantastic night at her event. Some of her close mates such as boyfriend Tommy Fury and best friend Maura Higgins were also in attendance.

PrettyLittleThing commented on the protests saying: "Any suggestion that the people making clothes for PLT or any other boohoo group PLC brand are paid lower than the minimum wage is grossly inaccurate."
