Sappho was at Soho House last night as BBC TV news presenter Jane Hill joined guests celebrating the 200th edition of lesbian magazine Diva, with Tipping the Velvet author Sarah Waters and artist Maggi Hambling.
Hill chatted about her upcoming civil partnership with Sara Shepherd and attacked the axing of the BBC’s lesbian drama Lip Service. She said: “A lot of people at this party are upset that we don’t have Lip Service any more. Sure, we have people like Sue Perkins on Radio 4 but that isn’t enough. Across all broadcasters we need better representation of lesbian and gay people.”
