BBC Three has cancelled lesbian drama Lip Service, the show's creator has announced.

Harriet Braun, also the show's executive producer, revealed that the corporation hasn't yet offered an explanation for the decision.

Set in Glasgow, the programme centred around a group of gay women and starred the likes of Laura Fraser, Ruta Gedmintas, Fiona Button and Heather Peace.

Lip Service pulled in strong ratings when it launched in 2010, but lost a third of its audience when BBC Three chose to move the show from a late Tuesday night slot to Friday's 9pm hour.

Addressing fans on Twitter, Braun said: "Sadly BBC Three have confirmed there won't be a 3rd series of Lip Service. A huge, huge thank you to all the fans for all your support xx."

When a fan asked Braun whether the BBC had told her why Lip Service was ending, she responded that the corporation "didn't" before reflecting on the "sad day" and adding: "Thanks for your support."
