Love Island sensation Faye Winter admits it's "hard" to be recognised for her work as a charity ambassador which includes working with Guide Dogs.
The star has previously spoken in Parliament to support the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation.
Faye has previously stood up for animal charities and raised awareness for several causes on her social media profile and believes it's important to remain true to herself through what she promotes.
Aside from Faye, fellow Islander Amy Hart has previously appeared in Parliament where she spoke about the influencer culture and online trolling they face.

During an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Faye, who has teamed up with Jose Cuervo to celebrate Mexico's Day of the Dead said: "It's hard because I don't feel like there's enough light shed on people that do amazing things like peaking in Parliament and being able to bring an animal cruelty side of things and my animal care.
"I'm a guide dog campaign star that was the first thing I did when I came off Love Island and you know nobody wanted to see that as a great achievement because they couldn't plaster it everywhere that it was a six-figure sum, there's no money in it, I don't get paid for it.

"It's just purely down to me and my passion."
Faye continued: "I think it's hard because sometimes you can then get lost and think to yourself, 'Oh no, that's not seen as an achievement', but for me, it's my greatest achievement, I'm just proud of myself, my family are proud of me, my friends are and Teddy is, that's all I could really wish for.
"You've got to see past it and you've got to make sure you're always being true to yourself."
But Faye believes it's "each to their own" when Islanders sign mega-deals with fast fashion brands as they love clothing.
"I personally don't like fast fashion," she said before adding: "I don't like fast fashion because I don't agree with it but then there are people that all they wear is PrettyLittleThing and Oh Polly, so it makes sense for them and they love that brand.
"You need to applaud them as much as people applaud us.
"It would just be nice to be able to see people cheering harder for those that are doing things that maybe aren't seen as such great achievements."
