"Every time I open a script and there’s a wedding I say, ’yes, I get to get married again’."

And luckily for Billie, she is soon to star as Jane Austen’s Fanny Price in an ITV adaptation of Mansfield Park. The character is seen eventually walking up the aisle with her long-term love.

The star, who shot to TV fame as the Doctor’s sidekick Rose Tyler, also admitted that she often visits her seamstress grandmother - to try on her bridal creations.

She said: "I go round and have a cigarette and say, ’can I pop that dress on?’ We’ll share a Superking and I’ll be wearing someone else’s wedding dress."

Billie is the Belle of the show - Feb 12 2007
Billie Piper is set to play a callgirl in a TV adaptation of the best-selling book Belle de Jour, it was revealed today.

Belle’s adventures, which started life as an anonymous internet blog, are being turned into a Channel 4 drama.

The new series is in development and should hit TV screens later this year.

Billie, 24, is best known for playing Rose Tyler in the BBC’s sci-fi hit Doctor Who.

The pretty star, who was a pop singer before she turned to acting, quit the show last year and appeared in the Victorian period drama The Ruby In The Smoke.

Her next role will be as Fanny Price in an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman confirmed the news, saying: "The Belle de Jour drama is in early development and Billie Piper is attached to star in it."

Billie attacked over school comment - Jan 9 2007
Sylvia Young, head of the famous stage school, has attacked former pupil Billie Piper over "poisonous" stories about the institution that appeared in the star’s autobiography.

Young, 67, took the unusual decision to criticise one of her proteges following the publication of the book, Growing Pains, for which the actress, 24, signed a six-figure contract.

In the book, the former Doctor Who star writes that teachers ignored the fact that many of the pupils had serious weight problems and that she was constantly told she "should be lighter, smaller (and) thinner".

Piper, whose success mirrors that of former Sylvia Young graduates Denise Van Outen, Emma Bunton and Nicole and Natalie Appleton, writes of the other students: "They had perfect fringes and perfect brows and talked about iambic pentameters with their perfect vowels."

She adds: "My nonchalance for my own appearance soon changed. I noticed after about a week of being there that the girls just didn’t eat.

But Young told Heat magazine: "I am very worried about Billie. I really wonder if there’s something wrong, because to me, my staff and even Billie’s former classmates, this sounds nothing like the girl we knew, nor the experiences we know she had here."

She adds: "She made references to being a poor girl among lots of ’stinking rich’ kids, but 80% of the pupils in her class were given assistance from us to attend."
