Brooke Vincent: Angry over PM's gay kiss ban. Pic: ITV
Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has blasted Prime Minister David Cameron for backing plans to ban pre-watershed same-sex kisses.
The teenager plays lesbian Sophie Webster in the Weatherfield drama.
She questioned Cameron's commitment to equal rights and tweeted: "I swear David Cameron's meant to be supporting equal rights.
"I just think if same-sex kisses are what he is prioritising and concentrating on changing, our country's in trouble."
Her comments come after a report suggesting a review may recommend gay kisses are restricted to after the 9pm watershed will be supported by Cameron.
Vincent is part of Coronation Street's first lesbian storyline after she began a relationship with her friend Sacha Parkinson (Sian Powers).
The 18-year-old recently suggested that people should just not watch if they are offended by what they see.
She told the PA: "I think it's selfish... because things are moving with the times. Nowadays there's nothing wrong with being gay so why not have it on screen?"
Vincent added: "Our viewers go from 70-year-olds to 10-year-olds so it's hard to do a storyline that fits everybody's views. We're just trying our best, so if it's offending you then don't watch!"
