For a woman who readily admits to being afraid of fish, a giant tuna seems to be the most unlikely of Valentine's dates.
However, Helena Bonham Carter overcome her phobia to pose naked with this magnificent specimen in support of the Blue Marine Foundation, which is campaigning for marine reserves to protect endangered species around the world.
The 48-year-old actress, who split from director Tim Burton last December, was persuaded to undertake the project by her friend Greta Scacchi.
'I am a big supporter of protecting the marine environment', she said. 'I'm actually very phobic about fish so when Greta asked me to be photographed naked with a 27kg tuna I was more worried about touching it than getting my kit off.
'Having said that, I conquered my fears and by the end of the morning we'd truly bonded. He will be my Valentine.'
The fish in question was a Bigeye tuna, which belongs to the wider mackerel family Scombridae.
