She said: ''It was a good few months ago now that I had the heads-up, and I was so excited about the storyline.

Happy Coming Out Day! Will you be coming out to someone today?
There is something really important going on today that I'm really excited to tell you about. Today is the launch of Catapult, a Kickstarter-type website that is all about projects for women and girls. Beginning today at 1:11 p.m. (Est), I'll be hosting the Lgbtq-themed hour to raise money and awareness for this amazing project developed by Equal Ground.
In Sri Lanka, lesbian and bisexual women are criminalized under Penal Code 365 A. The law, along with social, cultural and religious stigma drives these women underground and affects their quality of life immensely. Violence in all forms is perpetrated against lesbian and bisexual women across the board, by family members and society at large. This behavior is further validated by the behavior of authorities towards these women who are often blackmailed,...

Emmerdale bosses have announced that former Shameless star Kelli Hollis and ex-Bad Girls actress Alicya Eyo have joined the cast of the soap. The pair have landed the roles of village newcomers Ali Spencer and Ruby Haswell, who are due to make their first appearance on screen in the autumn. Ali is the sister of troublesome Rachel Breckle (Gemma Oaten), who made her debut last week when she arrived at the Dingles' home for a furious showdown with Sam. Just as fiery as her outspoken sibling, Ali breaks up with her husband and leaves her flat on the Hotten estate, hoping for a new start in the village with her two children Sean and Amelia, played by 14-year-old Luke Roskell and 7-year-old Daisy Campbell. However, Ali's life is far from uncomplicated as she has left her husband for Ruby, much to the horror of her tearaway son. A statement...
