Dales Actor hopes to work with Piper

Emmerdale star Lyndon Ogbourne has revealed that he dreams of working with his ex-girlfriend Billie Piper.
The actor, who joined the Yorkshire-based drama as Nathan Wylde this year, told PA that he dated Piper for a while after they attended a drama club together in Swindon, Wiltshire. Ogbourne continued: “We were close friends up until we were 16 or 17, then as soon as she got together with Chris Evans everything completely changed for her.

“I’d really like the opportunity to work with her. I think she wants to do a play back in London. Obviously she’s doing amazing film work and really taking off. But I always thought it would be quite funny to bump into her.”
Commenting on how the star’s life has turned out, he said: “She completely blossomed, not only into an amazingly successful girl, but I love the fact she’s a mum now. I think it’s amazing. I’m the broodiest boy in the world!”

A Passionate Woman

It has been announced that Billie has taken on a new project!

Former Doctor Who star Billie Piper is to return to the BBC – to play a young wife and mother who has a romance with a Polish neighbour in 1950s Leeds.

Billie supports Meningitis!

Babies run the highest risk of meningitis, says national charity Meningitis Research Foundation.
The risk is 38 times higher for babies under 12 months of age compared to children older than one and adults.

Billie Piper, actress and a new mother of baby Winston, is supporting the campaign:
“Meningitis and septicaemia are every parent’s worst nightmare. MRF’s campaign will raise awareness of these diseases among parents of young babies, which is essential as it can be very difficult to spot meningitis in babies because the symptoms are even less obvious than in older children and adults. Meningitis develops very quickly and can kill in hours, therefore there just is no time for delayed diagnosis.” – Billie Piper
