Elizabeth Hurley took to Twitter on Wednesday to ask fellow Britons to vote to leave the European Union in the June 23 Brexit referendum. The English actress appears to have also left her clothes behind for the patriotic pitch.

“Vote tomorrow-whatever your persuasion. I’m for #Brexit & promise to neither gloat nor whinge. But VOTE!” urged the 51-year-old actress and model who plays the matriarch of a dysfunctional royal family on the E! series “The Royals.” She is perhaps best known, however, for her role as Vanessa Kensington in the 1997 Mike Myers spy parody “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”

Ms. Hurley attached a photo of herself with a suggestive pose in which she clutched a Union Jack pillow to her chest and appeared to wear nothing but high heels.

In addition to Ms. Hurley, supporters of leaving the EU can boast Michael Caine, Joan Collins and “Downtown Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes among their ranks, according to the Daily Mirror.

“I believe we should be out. It’s about philosophy, it’s about democracy, it’s about democracy versus autocracy, all of those issues,” Mr. Fellowes said.
