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!”

TV beauty Billie Piper has revealed she thinks she has a “frightening” face.

Billie – expecting her second child – said: “I have always felt clumsy and awkward and self-conscious.

“I’ve got these enormous features, and as a childthey were the last thing I wanted. I have always thought of myself as frightening-looking.”

Billie, 29, who has three-year-old son Winston with actor hubby Laurence Fox, 33, is now preparing to face her demons – in a play about appearance.

Reasons To Be Pretty opens in London’s West End on Thursday.

The former Doctor Who assistant said: “I’m trying to get to a place where I can believe that I am really ­attractive. It’s a big leap of the imagination.”

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.

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’

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.

You’ve just read what one critic has thought about Billie’s performance in A Passionate Woman. We want to know what you thought! Loved it, hated it, thought it was Billie’s best/worst role? Tell us your thoughts!

I will have screen captures from the show added to the gallery later today so keep a look out for those! :)

Since series 3 of Secret Diary is well under way in the UK and US, I feel it’s time to get opinions of how you, the visitors of BPF.com and fans of Billie, feel about the new series. Love it? Hate it? Tell us!

The poll has been added to the sidebar so the results can be seen as the votes roll in!

I’ve noticed recently that some of the videos I’ve posted here, namely the Secret Diary of a Call Girl videos from Showtime, have been popping up on YouTube. I would appreciate it if they were taken down or at least some credit given to Billie Piper Fan for those videos. It takes me a long time to edit, format, and upload those videos for the site. I don’t want my work to be ripped off and all the effort to be for nothing. I hope you all understand.

I would like to wish everyone a very happy New Year! May 2010 be a great year for everyone!

Also – Don’t forget to watch Billie in tonight’s Doctor Who episode, The End of Time, Part Two. As you very well know, it’s David’s last episode so it’s sure to be exciting and tear-jerking seeing him exit. Hopefully Rose/Billie will pop in and help end his era as Doctor. Don’t forget to also catch the Confidential after the finale!

Please note: I am American and therefore cannot update Doctor Who-related things as quickly as I could if I were living in the UK. Please be patient as information/material will be updated/added if that’s the case. :)

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and happy holiday! Stay safe and enjoy spending the time with family and friends!

Last year Mandy, the owner of Billie Piper Online, and I rallied together to make a birthday book to send Billie on her 26th Birthday.

Well, this morning Mandy got an awesome surprise, which we’re thinking is for the Birthday Book that we sent last year. Its the only reasons she would send a card to both of us. Thanks so much Billie!

I’ve added pictures of the wonderful surprise to the gallery.

Don’t forget – this year’s birthday book is needing more entries! Head on over and send your message!

If you visited the media archive in the last few hours, you may have noticed a new layout for it. I’m still working out the kinks it and not sure if I like the picture I chose for it or not.

I also added a clip of the Secret Diary US interview to the archive here. Check it out!:

Lastly, Showtime has added a new trailer for season 2 of Secret Diary, premiering January 18th:
