New Mum Billie To Play Mum

Billie Piper is putting her new-found maternal skills to use — by playing a struggling single mum in an ITV drama.
Fans will see the ex Doctor Who star, who gave birth to son Winston in October, battling life on a rough estate with her baby girl and her own mother.
She goes in search of the dad she’s never met — and finds he is a multi-millionaire living in a run-down country pile. The pair forge a close bond based on their shared inability to hold down a relationship.
And they set about finding a partner for each other. A show insider said last night: “It’s a classic odd couple story. And it has something of the ‘two worlds collide’ about it. Billie’s character sees how the other half live and her old man comes to terms with life on the breadline.”
Billie, 26 — who is wed to actor Laurence Fox — has called motherhood the “toughest job” she has ever had. The Sun told recently how she had vowed to spend her time with Winston until a role came along that “inspires” her.
