However, he now boasts more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and is known for both his modelling and being a sustainable fashion campaigner.

When Molly-Mae Hague’s fashion brand was launched last year, Brett gave his opinions on TikTok. 

He told his followers: ‘Molly-Mae has launched her own brand – her own brand called Maebe. 

‘Maebe is meant to bridge the gap between fast fashion and luxury without an unattainable price point. 

‘This particular price point can actually be a really good area for value for money – if you’re buying quality clothing of natural fibres that are going to last a long time.”

He gave an example that is 100 per cent plastic and at a £50 price point, as well as a £140 blazer that was 80 per cent plastic. 

He added: These are all very low quality materials and are synonymous with fast fashion. They are also very cheap to make. 

‘It will be interesting to see if they’re satisfied with the products they’ve got and whether or not they’ll be returning customers.’
