BBC Three has cancelled the lesbian drama Lip Service, it was announced yesterday (12 January).

Harriet Braun, the show’s creator and executive producer, revealed the corporation had not yet given an explanation for the decision.

Set in Glasgow, Scotland, Lip Service featured the lives of a group of gay women and starred Fiona Button, Laura Fraser, and Heather Peace.

The drama pulled in strong ratings when it launched in 2010, but lost a third of its audience when it moved from a late Tuesday night slot to the more competitive Friday at 9pm.

British lesbian musician and actress Heather Peace has announced she will perform down under at the world famous Sydney Mardi Gras.

The performance, which has been headlined by gay icons like Kylie Minogue, will be the beginning of a tour which will take Peace across Australia.

Touring from10 – 24 February, Peace said it was a ‘dream come true’.

‘It’s been a dream of mine to perform at Sydney Mardi Gras and I’ve also had so many requests on social media from Australian fans for me to come over and play,’ she said.

Heather Peace’s career is like a London bus. You wait for what seems like eternity and then three come along at once.

In the case of the lesbian British actress and singer, she’s back with a new series of BBC hit drama Lip Service and a sizzling single and album.
