The stunt filmed for Undress The Nation on July 2, 2007 caused controversy. The stunt involved Trinny, Susannah and 100 women giving the East Sussex pagan symbol, the Long Man of Wilmington, a temporary female form by adding pigtails, breasts and hips. The hillside chalk calving was not permanently changed or affected however. The stunt prompted twenty-two pagans to protest at the historical site during filming. The site is thought of as "sacred" by the Council of British Druid Orders, who said the stunt would "dishonour an ancient Pagan site of worship"
