'Skins' plot 'helps gay girls come out'

>Lily Loveless and Kathryn Prescott have revealed that gay girls have gained the courage to admit their sexual orientation as a result of Skins.

Loveless and Prescott play lesbian couple Naomi and Emily on the Channel 4 show.

Loveless told The Sun: "People come up to me in clubs and say, 'You made me come out'.

"It's really cool. It's odd because you live in a bubble when you're filming and you forget it's going to go out on TV."

Prescott also commented: "There are young people who are male and coming out, that's really prevalent. But it's not for girls.

"There are a few shows [with lesbians] and they paint it as if it's male-written, like young fantasy lesbians, but this is not like that."
