Artist Tracey Emin has reacted angrily to a film she has made about teenage life being given an 18 certificate and has withdrawn her film from UK cinemas.

The Censors said the adult rating was given because of a suicide scene.

The film, Top Spot, centres on six teenagers growing up in Emin's home town of Margate, and deals with love, sex and death.

"I made this very personal film about teenage girls. I never in a million years thought that they would not be able to see it," she said.

The six young actresses were chosen through an open casting and came to the production with no acting experience.

Emin developed the script after interacting with the girls and using improvisation.
