Coronation Street star Cait Fitton was slammed by PETA after she shared a picture of herself swimming with a dolphin while on holiday. The 23-year-old soap star, who is best known for her role as Lauren Bolton on the long-running ITV<\/a> soap, recently shared a few posts from her sunny holiday in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n In one picture shared online, Cait was seen laughing with joy as she appeared to ride a dolphin in the ocean. In one snap taken outside Dolphin Island Park in Punta Cana, the soap star wrote: “Such a surreal experience. Pictures pending \u2026. Swim with dolphins in the wild.\u201d She also kissed a dolphin in one picture shared on her page.<\/p>\n READ MORE: \u2018Amazon Prime Day saved me \u00a390 on beauty last year \u2013 this time I\u2019ve saved even more\u2019<\/a> What she thought was a wholesome post received criticism from animal rights charity PETA. They released a statement saying: “PETA is rushing Cait a copy of The Cove, as she simply can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n “We hope PETA\u2019s facts will open her eyes to the dolphins\u2019 plight and that she\u2019ll take down any social media pictures promoting this cruel industry, which imprisons wild animals for profit.\u201d<\/p>\n The Mirror have reached out to Cait’s representatives for comment. Cait’s holiday snaps comes a few weeks after she went Instagram<\/a> official with her new boyfriend.<\/p>\n She teased her new partner for several weeks, telling fans her “boyfriend” had bought her a Jellycat toy.<\/p>\n And at the end of June, she took her new romance to the next level, having shared a photo on her story showing some silver ’23’ balloons, as well as a photo of what appears to be her boyfriend.<\/p>\n She sweetly wrote: “A day celebrating you,” following her message with a white loveheart emoji. Her previous story post showed a collage of images of her with her partner, with Cait writing: “Happy birthday to my man.” She added: “Thank you for blessing my life.”<\/p>\n The snaps showed them posing for a selfie, as well as a fun photo of them glammed up posing together. Another photo showed them holding hands, but she’s still not named her new partner.<\/p>\n Cait previously discussed the difficulties of fame, telling the Mirror<\/a>: “It\u2019s taken me a long time to have thick skin, it\u2019s not an overnight process.<\/p>\n “We are normal people outside of filming, but everyone sees the characters as actual people. That can be really hard, especially with Lauren, who is a complex character.”<\/p>\n Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok<\/a>, Snapchat<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, YouTube<\/a> and Threads<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n READ MORE: ‘Biggest ever’ teeth whitening sale beats Amazon Prime Day with 50% off<\/a>![\"Cait](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1_Cait-Fitton.jpg\")
