Pugh, 55, is in the midst of a 12-day swim around Martha's Vineyard in the US - where the movie Jaws was filmed - raising awareness of endangered sharks.

He's backing Lennon's plan to criminalise mass environmental destruction in Scotland, saying it's an "important step" in the global fight to save our wildlife.
