Billie Does Her Bit For Charity.

Billie Piper has made a pledge to give one per cent of her earnings to charity for the first ten weeks of the New Year.
The television leading lady told me she was ‘delighted’ to be part of a new fundraising effort called Taking on the Tough Stuff, organised by Comic Relief for Red Nose Day.
The effort, whereby British actors will be asked to donate one per cent of their pay cheques between January 1 and March 13 (the actual Red Nose Day) will help Comic Relief to tackle social issues involving the underprivileged.
Billie, who emerged as a star after playing Rose opposite David Tennant in BBC’s Dr Who, joins charter members Bill Nighy, Sophie Okonedo and James McAvoy, James Nesbitt, Natascha McElhone and Laurence Fox in helping to highlight the initiative.
