Coronation Street star Cait Fitton has been criticised by PETA for riding a dolphin while on holiday in the Dominican Republic.
The actress, 23, who joined the programme as troubled teen Lauren Bolton in 2022, has been enjoying a summer break with her boyfriend Ben.
Taking to her Instagram Story during the trip, Cait shared snaps of a day out at Dolphin Island Park in Punta.
One picture showed Cait appear to ride a dolphin as they swam with them, while in another she kissed its nose.
‘Such a surreal experience. Pictures pending …. Swim with dolphins in the wild,’ Cait captioned one of the snaps.
But animal rights charity PETA urged Cait to take down the pictures – which are still on her page in a highlight for the trip – as they criticised the actress for ‘promoting this cruel industry’.

In a statement to The Sun, PETA’s vice president of programmes Elisa Allen Vice said: ‘PETA is rushing Cait a copy of The Cove, as she simply can’t be aware that dolphins exploited for these cute-seeming encounters are often violently torn away from their families and ocean homes and have almost no semblance of a real life.
‘Instead of exploring, raising their young, and swimming vast distances, captive dolphins are forced to spend decades performing confusing tricks in cramped tanks while being fondled by strangers.
‘We hope PETA’s facts will open her eyes to the dolphins’ plight and that she’ll take down any social media pictures promoting this cruel industry, which imprisons wild animals for profit.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Cait for comment.
In 2023, Cait revealed her childhood aspirations of being on the soap left her school teachers very amused.
Recalling her childhood, Cait – who said she dreamed of starring on the show since being five-years-old – admitted how she thought ‘it might never happen’ but continued to works towards her goals.
Cait told The Sun: ‘When the teacher asked us, “What do you want to be when you’re older?” I said, “I want to be in Coronation Street.”
‘I remember all the teachers were amused, they couldn’t believe it. I wanted it so badly.

‘Sometimes I’d despair and think it was never going to happen, but it just shows that if you fight and you work hard for your dreams, you can achieve.’
She continued: ‘It takes a lot of courage and drive to strive to be different and it takes even more courage to achieve and I’m super happy I stuck it out.’
Coronation Street fans were left sick to their stomachs after an evil villain made an ‘impossible’ return against all odds during an episode of the ITV show last month.
Lauren, played by Cait, couldn’t believe her eyes when she thought that she’d seen Joel Deering (Calum Lill) – which makes no sense as he is dead.
After viewers will know the evil solicitor was killed by Lauren back in September last year.
The teen scared herself that much that she thought that ‘Joel’ was trying to take her baby Frankie away from her.
‘I don’t want to do this, give me Frankie please,’ she told him, before shouting: ‘Just give him to me Joel!’
Lauren welcomed Frankie into the world after she fell pregnant with Joel’s child after he groomed and abused her for many months.

Lauren and Joel started to get close when he helped her with an arrest.
He also helped her with any money that she needed, but she had to give something back in return – sex.
But Lauren wanted to cut it off at one point and even threatened him that she would tell his girlfriend Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown).
This led him to beating her up and she was left in a really bad way and absent from the Cobbles for half a year.
When she returned to Weatherfield things got heated again and she ended up murdering Joel after he attacked her friend Max Turner (Paddy Bever).
