Watch: Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson reduced to tears by video

It reduced former Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson to tears, and disgusted actress Annette Crosbie; Time Team presenter Tony Robinson; naturalist Bill Oddie; and former Doctor Who Colin Baker, but what they watched is too graphic for us to show.

No, it’s not some outrageous new porn film, but a video from The League Against Cruel Sports shown to celebrities to mark the fifth anniversary of the ban on hunting with dogs, and to campaign to prevent an incoming Conservative government overturning the popular ban.

In the film showing celebrities’ reactions, Tony Robinson compares fox-hunting to “hoodies picking on an asthmatic,” and all are very shocked by what they see.

Fortunately, you don’t need to see the shocking video, but you can imagine how horrific it is simply by watching how they react to the film via YouTube:
