Hollyoaks star Ki Griffin has revealed that their character Ripley will reveal that they are non-binary in an upcoming episode.
Ripley, who first appeared in the Channel 4 soap last summer working at the second-hand clothes store at the Grand Bazaar market, will come out to friends Ollie, Imran and Brooke in the new storyline.
"It's wonderful to have that positive representation for non-binary people, because we never see it," said Griffin, who also identifies as non-binary. "It is so beautiful to be able to step in to the shoes of Ripley and be able to be like, 'guys look, a non-binary character played by a non-binary human'.
"I like to say that I sit within the gender spectrum in a boat. Imagine a lake that's got two banks, one is masculinity, and one is femininity, I got on my little boat in the feminine bank, and then never docked again."
