Lip Service is back!!

Yes, the wait is finally over (well very nearly!). It seems like an age since the Lip Service girls were last on our screens, although I've definitely got my money's worth out of my series 1 DVD in the meantime! Tonight our favourite Lip Service girls return to our screens!!!!

Lip Service writer and creator Harriet Braun has described series two as being more edgy than the first:

'Although there will be as much comedy as ever, I think I would say Lip Service gets a lot darker this season.

'First time around, I looked at people at a pivotal age - late twenties or early thirties, trying to get what they want and avoiding making the same mistakes again. This time it’s about what happens when you get what you want and it isn’t quite what you expected…or you can’t have what you want.

'A lot of life is about how we deal with adversity, do you sink or do you swim? I guess I wanted to throw some emotional curve balls at the characters and see what they did with them.'

After a loved-up month on holiday in South America, Cat and Sam arrive back in Glasgow with a colossal bump as series two begins. Having run away from her relationship with first love Frankie, Cat knows she must now face the music.

Meanwhile, it looks like Tess finally has it all: her first proper acting role, a fabulous new flat and a gorgeous girlfriend. Landing one of the leading roles in a big theatre production should be a cause for celebration, but things don’t go quite to plan on her first day in the job.

Locking horns with self-obsessed co-star Nora, it’s clear Tess is going to have her work cut out, dealing with constant put-downs and snide comments. But new friendship and much needed support come in the shape of Hugo, a cynical but loveable actor.

Frankie and Tess are struggling with the rent for their new flat and go in search of a flatmate. Enter Lexy (pictured top, right) - a sexy, funny and straight-talking Australian doctor who instantly makes an impression on Tess. But she’s not the only one who reacts to Lexy’s arrival…

Also back for the new series is Frankie's former flame Sadie who Frankie decides to offload all of her troubles onto. Sadie, who is down on her luck, decides to deliver some home truths.

Lip Service series 2 begins tonight at 9pm on BBC3.
