The huge poster read 'BHS destroyer' and was attached to Green's lavish £100 million yacht Lionheart.

The comic tweeted: "Good of Sir Philip Green to rename his £100 million yacht to something more appropriate. I was glad to help. @All4".

@acheffy15 tweeted a photo of the defaced boat with the caption: "My mate just sent this photo through from Monaco. Look what someone did to Sir Philip Green's yacht".

BHS's collapse in April has affected 11,000 jobs, 22,000 pensions, sparked a parliamentary inquiry and left its high-profile former owners potentially facing a criminal investigation.

In March 2015, BHS was sold for £1 by Arcadia Group chairman Sir Philip Green to former bankrupt Dominic Chappell, who in turn called in the receivers in May.

Retail billionaire Green has been branded the "unacceptable face of capitalism" by furious MPs.

He has come under fire for taking more than £400 million in dividends from the chain, leaving it with a £571 million pension deficit and for selling it to a man with no retail experience.

Green is not shy about enjoying the trappings of his success - his personal fortune is estimated at somewhere between £3bn and £4bn and he enjoys spending it.

And the tycoon has been branded Philip Greed for good reason - he owns a £100 million super yacht - the jewel in his fleet of three superyachts.

The latest protest comes just days after former BHS worker Hannah Cullen confronted Green on his yacht and called him a "coward".

The single mum was fuming that the billionaire hid on his boat anchored off the glamorous Isle of Capri as thousands of ex-BHS staff faced life on the dole.

The former customer services assistant who worked at the iconic store’s branch in Harlow, Essex, for six years, was praised for her actions.
