who is Dr Victoria Bateman ?

The British feminist economist and academic has become known for her unorthodox way of campaigning against Brexit.

Lecturing in the nude, the academic divides opinions online, with some claiming her nudity undermines her approach.

In her show, 'Brexit: The Naked Truth', Dr Bateman performed naked on a stage with the words 'Brexit leaves Britain naked' written across her body.

Dr Bateman, who has researched the development of the European economy, previously posed naked for a portrait by artist, Anthony Connolly.

The nude painting went on display as part of a Royal Society of Portrait Painters' exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in 2015.

Dr Bateman, pictured, said Brexit was Britain's 'Emperor's New Clothes' moment

Humphrys said those arguments have been made repeatedly by people wearing clothes and why Dr Bateman felt the need to remove hers.

She replied: 'I have myself written thousands of words looking at why Brexit is bad for Britain.

'But I thought it would be useful to reduce all of those words down, condense all of those words down to one powerful message.

'Brexit is the Emperor's New Clothes. Britain has sold itself a project that cannot possibly deliver what it promises.

'Everytime we open our mouths to speak we are inviting people to listen to our views to listen to our opinions. I am completely comfortable with my own body. I view women's bodies as one of the big battlegrounds we face today, and by engaging with society about women's bodies, one of the things that shows is the way in which people are quick to judge women solely based on their bodies.'

Humphrys replied: 'Do you think in 2019 that women are judged on their bodies?'

She said: 'I do. All you have to do is look at the online response to a two-minute section of my naked lecture that I posted online in the last couple of days and you will see people firing back with comments of the kind 'this woman is trashy because she has got her body on show' or 'this woman is stupid'.
