Campaigners have hit out at the BBC over a storyline in a popular TV series featuring its first non-binary character talking about undergoing a double mastectomy.

The “Casualty” episode, which aired on BBC1 over the weekend, showed character Sah discussing details of upcoming “top surgery” and being presented with a surprise cake shaped like breasts.
