has insisted that there is nothing provocative about her role in Love Life.
The Wuthering Heights star will play Karen, the love interest of teacher Holly (Billie Piper) in the semi-improvised BBC serial.
“[Each episode is] half an hour long, for five nights on the BBC,” the actress told Digital Spy. “It’s [about] different situations of love [and] that’s why I wanted to do it.”
She continued: “It’s very hard to get two female actors, put them together in a… relationship and not make it about sex.
“[This story] was more about the connection that they share as women [and] the points that they’re at in their lives.”
Scodelario also admitted that she had been a fan of Billie Piper’s music as a child.
“The first album that I ever bought was hers,” she revealed. “But I didn’t tell her that, because I thought it might put her off a little bit!”

Department store group Debenhams has enlisted actress Billie Piper and famous fashion designers Henry Holland, Julien Macdonald, Ben de Lisi and John Rocha to promote its new clothing campaign.
The marketing for its Autumn/Winter 2011 range has the strap line ‘Life Made Fabulous’ and the TV adverts show the designers preparing outfits in their studios before they are worn in real-life situations.
Belle de Jour star Billie Piper is the voice of the new campaign, which follows on from the retailer’s successful Spring/Summer campaign called ‘Feel Fabulous’ that also played on the idea of affordable designer clothing.
The first screening of the adverts tomorrow (August 31st 2011) will be during Emmerdale on ITV 1 and it will feature the song ‘This is the Life’ by the band Two Door Cinema Club.

Billie’s old co-star from Secret Diary, Gemma Chan, has confirmed that they will be appearing in a five part drama for the BBC called ‘True Love’ appearing with her old Doctor Who co-star David Tennant! Alongside David Morrisey and Jane Horroks!
Great news! Cant wait to see them all together!
Karen Gillan, who plays Matt Smith’s Doctor Whocompanion Amy Pond, has revealed that she looked to former Doctor Who actress Billie Piper for inspiration on how to master sizzling on-screen chemistry with her co-star.
She explained,
“I remember watching Billie Piper play Rose, and she’s my favourite companion because I thought she was really brilliant with Chris Eccleston…
“And the chemistry she had with David Tennant was brilliant.
“It just made me realise how important it is in the show that the chemistry between the Doctor and companion is at the heart of the show.”
Peekaboo is loved by die hard vintage fans and celebrities. One of their biggest fans and close friend to the pair is Billie Piper, here is what she has to say about Peekaboo
‘I’ve always had a crush on vintage. It makes dressing up feel so much more eventful. Clothes with a story, a past is exciting in my mind. One off pieces from another era, it just feels special. I met Emily and Peekaboo through work and our friendship has developed over the years; very beneficial for my wardrobe. Emily started to dress me for various occasions, award shows and various shoots and now its a love affair with vintage. I can’t imagine a party without an Ossie or a vintage Biba. She sources the most delicious stuff and it just keeps coming. We’re excited about working together on this campaign and who knows what the future has in store’
Billie Piper Fan finally has a new look – for both the main site and gallery, thanks to Mycah at Purple Haze Designs. She did a wonderful job and I love it! Tell us what you think!
I normally wouldn’t promote any of my Ebay sales on any of my sites. However, I figured it wouldn’t hurt mentioning on here.
I’m selling a copy of Billie’s CD single for Honey to the Bee. The CD contains the radio edit, acoustic version, and a remix of the single as well as the music video that plays on your computer. The starting price is $11 which may seem a bit expensive but the CD was discontinued and is hard to find. You can view all the information at the listing’s page.
Screen captures from tonight’s episode probably won’t be uploaded to the gallery until some time tomorrow. I’m on holiday right now and traveling around quite a bit. I probably won’t be able to add the caps to the gallery until tomorrow afternoon or night, when I get a break. Keep a look out for that!
Just updated the Gallery with new pics including Cover Images from DWM Issues #360 – #398, plus some Radio Times covers and some pics of Billie on the Chris Moyles Show in 2007.
   
 
As you can see, we’ve been adding a lot to the gallery. Over the next few days I will be adding more magazine scans that have not been uploaded since I re-did the gallery a few months ago. Keep your head up for those updates!
We are aware that most of the recent videos for Secret Diary are from ITV and only available to UK residents. We can do nothing about this except wait until the videos are on YouTube. The reason we have images from these videos is that we have staff members who live in the UK (which I believe is essential for this site) who are able to watch them.
Living in the US, I understand frustrations many visitors feel as they cannot watch the previews. Please be patient. Videos will eventually end up on YouTube. :)
Since I don’t live in the UK and that’s where most of the Billie news is coming from, I don’t have access to articles that are published over there. If you are able to scan any newspaper or magazine clippings that feature Billie, please let us know! We would love to post them and we’ll definitely credit for them.
Don’t forget to follow Billie Piper Fan on Twitter! We’re getting back in the hang of using the site to keep everyone updated on the latest Billie news!

If you’re visiting Billie Piper Fan and are seeing weird looking pages, please be aware that I am in the process of trying to change the layout/theme of the site. You may see several different looks because I’m testing a lot to see which one looks the best!
