Sexy Billie Piper holds the role as Belle in the Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Belle de Jour) on the fourth the season. Billie started as a pop singer in the late 90’ies and switched over to acting. She got her fame in the UK with her role as Rose Tyler in the television series Doctor Who (2005-2006). She is now in her fourth season as Belle in Belle de Jour. The series caught more interest also outside the UK, when the real Belle de Jour (yes, she is real) confirmed her real identity. The real Belle – Dr Brooke Magnanti – met up with the actress in an ITV2 interview in January 2010. Billie Piper is married to actor Laurence Fox (one my favorites among young British actors) – famous from the detective drama Lewis (and a lot of other roles). They have one son.
Latest in the news about Belle de Jour is that she state she was hacked by Sunday Times some years ago – not to surprising I guess.
