Billie's Baby

Pregnant Billie Piper says she felt like a “sweating sea cow” when filming scenes for the new series of raunchy ITV show Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.

Billie, 25, pictured in costume as high‑class hooker Belle in the series based on the internet blogs of former London call girl Belle de Jour, struggled with her growing bump on set.

“I had no food cravings other than wanting food constantly,” jokes the actress, who is expecting her first child with husband Laurence Fox in October.

“This year I found the heat very uncomfortable and that, coupled with the fact that I was growing every day, the lack of sleep and the desire to just sit on my bum and stuff my face, was not conducive to work.

“I was thirsty all the time and always needing the toilet – which is really unhelpful when working to such a tight schedule.“When I am playing Belle I have to play a sexually liberated, empowered young prostitute but unfortunately I felt like a sweating sea cow!”

The second series of the show, which is a big hit in the US, begins next month – and thankfully filming for a third series will start once Billie has given birth.

Lets hope shes feeling better soon!

The busy couple have taken time out of filming their TV series - Billie's The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl and Laurence's detective drama Lewis - to enjoy a few days together.A source said: 'Laurence and Billie are having a lovely time and are taking in all the sights.

'Billie has been forced to enlist a body double for her ITV call girl drama, which calls for her character Belle De Jour to strip down to her underwear.

Billie said: 'I needed two body doubles in the end.'As I got more and more pregnant I began to gain weight so it looked silly having a really skinny body double.'

Secret Diary Updates

Billie Piper has filmed her sexiest TV scenes yet — as a high-class hooker offering fetish sex. The blonde actress has warned fans the second series of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl will go further than before. Billie, 25 — who plays escort Belle de Jour — told TV Biz:

“There are some very unusual fetishes coming up. “As long as they’ve got the right money, Belle will make anyone’s fantasy come true for them.”

Belle’s menu of saucy hardcore fetishes will even overshadow the last series of the ITV2 show, when she took part in threesomes, spanking and swinging. But the second series wasn’t easy to film as Billie fell pregnant with her first child.

She said: “I needed two body doubles in the end. “As I got more and more pregnant I began to gain weight so it looked silly having a really skinny body double.” But the star — now seven months pregnant and wed to actor Laurence Fox, 29 — does not think the Call Girl series goes too far. She insists it has a very human message.

Billie added: “If people can watch The Sopranos and identify with mafia boss Tony, who’s a murdering gangster, then they should be able to understand where Belle’s coming from.”

Steven Moffat Rules Out Rose Comeback

Steven Moffat has axed Rose Tyler from appearing in Series Five of Doctor Who after he labelled the character as being 'too needy'.

Rose was last seen at the end of Series Four. The Doctor left her on her parallel world with a clone version of him. But the new show runner has confirmed that as long as he's in charge, Billie Piper won't be reprising the much-loved role.

"You have to hand it to the Doctor for dumping a slightly needy girlfriend by palming her off on a copy of himself," he said, speaking at the ComicCon event in LA.

"He tried leaving her in a parallel universe and that didn’t work!"

This decision isn't set to go down well with fans, after Rose was recently voted the nation's all time favourite companion.

Is Rose Gone Forever?

Doctor Who's new show runner Steven Moffat has decided to start afresh for Series 5 by saying goodbye to the friends and foes we've met since the show was revived in 2005.

"Fans always look back, but shows have to look forward," he said whilst attending the ComicCon in San Diego, California. "There’s a brand new audience of kids for Doctor Who each year and they have to think it’s their programme, not some relic that belongs to their parents."

He added: "I'm as obsessed with the show's past as many in the audience, but I have to resist my impulse and keep everything fresh.

"Wiping the slate clean would also mean that the Doctor's oldest nemesis, the Daleks, won't be returning in 2010. According to the man himself, this is a good thing as he plans to introduce new enemies and monsters for the Time Lord to battle.

"You've got to be careful you don't make the universe seem like it's got about seven people in it, all about to be exterminated by the Daleks," he explained. "You want it to be a big, wide-ranging universe."

However, he refused to comment on whether or not his clear-out would include Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper, who was last seen at the end of Series 4 starting a new life on a parallel world with a clone of the Doctor.
