Frankie Davey, who appeared on season nine of the hit reality show, left viewers raging after sharing his hot take on TikTok.
The 24-year-old said: “I haven’t worn suncream now for a good three or four years – I’m quite against it.
“It’s full of chemicals and toxins that your body… well, isn’t good for your body, basically.
“I never recommend going straight into heat like this, being pale as anything.
“You need to build it up.
“There is science on this.
“It’s a fact that when your sunglasses are down, you feel like you’re inside and your body doesn’t produce the chemical to protect your skin, which then leads to burning.
“Listen to your body.
“When you feel like you’re burning, when your skin is hot, seek some shade.
“A lot of people put suncream on when they already feel like they’re burning, and then stay in the sun.
“That is just counterintuitive.”
The Ipswich-born boxer, who recently went on holiday to Greece, captioned the video “how to tan and NOT burn”.
He also explained in the clip how he applied coconut oil, which he deems to be a “natural SPF”.
The clip received more than 16,500 likes and 200 comments.
Advice for adults and children on sunscreen and sun safety in the UK and abroad
The experts at the NHS have warned that sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer.
They state that despite the common misconception, sunburn ”does not just happen on holiday”.
This means that you can burn in the UK, even on days when it’s cloudy.
”There’s no safe or healthy way to get a tan. A tan does not protect your skin from the sun’s harmful effects.”

Most viewers have slammed Frankie’s controversial advice, with several sharing their thoughts in the comments section of his TikTok video.
“Sunburn is literally DNA damage,” said one person in the comments.
“This is dangerous information,” fumed another.
A third person wrote: “My Irish skin could never, I tried this and burned.”
“Please update me in 20 to 30 years,” said a fourth.
“Social media boxer vs medical professionals, I think I know whose advice I’ll follow,” penned a fifth.
“When I feel like I’m burning go inside, why did I never think of that before,” said a sixth.
Some fans, however, agreed with his claims.
