Emma Thompson, the Oscar-winning actress, was sprayed with manure during an anti-fracking protest.
She set up a “bake off” against fracking in Lancashire on Wednesday.
Before she did it, Thompson explained to a police officer that she will make a solar-powered cake and a wind-powered cake.
“For almost five years, Lancashire has been in the midst of a battle to stop the shale gas industry,” she wrote for Greenpeace. “And despite huge local opposition, fracking firm Cuadrilla is determined to set up its rigs and drill.”
