Airline bans in- flight Killing Eve lesbo kiss

-

AN airline has caused a major raspberry by CENSORING a hot lesbo kiss on BBC smash Killing Eve.

The acclaimed TV hit, written by Phoebe Waller- Bridge, is among the content being censored by Emirates airlines on its in- flight entertainm­ent channels.

Emirates, the world’s fourth largest airline, has also edited out footage of same- sex kisses from Oscarnomin­ated Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan.

In the original Killing Eve, one scene saw psychopath­ic assassin Villanelle – played by Jodie Comer – seduce a woman.

A kiss between them has been removed by the airline.

The BBC did not comment, but a source claimed that such edits should be banned.

The source said: “If a company wants to remove same- sex moments from a BBC programme, then the BBC should put its foot down and not allow it to be shown at all.

“It is in direct opposition to what we stand for.”

Representa­tives for Emirates, owned by the Investment Corporatio­n of Dubai, are yet to respond to requests for comment.
