Treats Comes To The West End In February
Billie Piper, former pop star and assistant to Dr Who, makes her
West End debut in Christopher Hampton's Treats when it opens at the Garrick on 28 February (previews from 20 February). The
actress stars alongside another couple of television favourites, Kris Marshall and Laurence Fox, in Hampton's darkly comic
relationship drama, which is directed by Laurence Boswell.
Piper originally found fame as a teenage pop star with hits such as Because We Want To taking her to the top of the charts.
Following marriage to DJ/producer Chris Evans she returned to her first love, acting, starring first in the BBC's adaptation
of The Canterbury Tales before winning the coveted role of Dr's assistant Rose in Dr Who. The role saw her win the National
Television Award for Most Popular Actress on two successive occasions. Her more recent projects include The Ruby In The Smoke
for the BBC and Mansfield Park for ITV.
Marshall is best known as bumbling son to Robert Lindsay and Zoë Wanamaker in BBC sitcom My Family. His other television
appearances include My Life In Film and Murder City, while on the big screen he has starred in The Merchant Of Venice and
Love Actually. Fox stars as Kevin Whatley's sidekick in Lewis and has also appeared in the films Gosford Park and The Hole.
Hampton has had great success during his career, both writing for the stage and the screen. His plays include The Philanthropist,
Savages, Total Eclipse and Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which he adapted for the big screen as Dangerous Liaisons. Director Boswell's
credits include A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg, This Is Our Youth, Popcorn and Up For Grabs.
The production is produced by Bill Kenwright and will tour to Windsor, Malvern, Bath and Richmond before coming to the
West End.
Vote Billie As Swindon Advertsier Person Of The Year!
Billie has been nominated for the Swindon Advertiser Person Of The Year award.
They say: Billie Piper has gone from a teen pop sensation to a respected actress
and her stock shows no signs of falling.
In spite of her meteoric rise, and it is hard to remember she is still only 24, she has not
forgotten her roots in Swindon.
When some of her fans felt neglected earlier this year following a book signing at the Orbital
Shopping Park, in North Swindon, the Doctor Who star vowed to make it up to them. And she did with a return visit earlier
this month.

She Will Be Missed
At the press preview of The Runaway Bride David Tennant and Russell T Davies spoke of
how the Doctor will cope without Rose.
The Christmas Day episode will be the first one without Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, "The Doctor
losing Rose was a really big moment for him and it would be a bit wrong if we just came back and said he's fine now, we've
forgotten about that, so he's still feeling it." said David, with Russell adding "He's heartbroken. He's absolutely devastated
because the love of his life has disappeared, but at the same time I don't want to give viewers on Christmas Day an hour's
worth of weeping."

Billie 'I Miss Who'
Alot of the press are covering the fact that Billie is missing life
on the Doctor Who set:
"I still desperately miss Rose and everyone at Doctor Who.
"I'm jealous that I'm no longer part of it and I'm trying to keep
the green-eyed monster at bay, but on the whole it felt like the right thing to do.
"I'd done two series, and each one takes nine months to shoot. I got
so close to everybody that I thought if I didn't ever leave I'd be too scared to ever go, and I'd get complacent."

Billie Says Don't Be A Zero!
An interview with fashion mag Glamour has had Billie in the press
all week after she told them that she feels that Victoria Beckham is a bad role model for young girls:
“I think the whole size zero debate is disgusting.
Some
models you see are tiny because that’s the way they were born, but then they’ll get the attention and that will
start feeding a fire."
Billie said: “My little sister loves Posh and I say ‘Come
on Ellie, she’s tiny. What’s wrong with Shakira? She’s sexy, curvy. But she has no interest.”
Billie admitted
that she is worried that her own anorexia would return.
The last time she suffered was after her split
with Chris Evans.She explained: “It’s a constant worry, but it’s not a continual struggle any more. For
me, the danger is when my life gets out of control.
“It’s the first thing I think about. When I broke up with
Chris I had it for a moment but I was able to nip it in the bud.”
Actress Kate Winslett also joined the debate, agreeing with Billie
and saying that she has banned her young daughter from looking at stick thin clebs in magazines.

Billie Made
Who Appeal To Girls!
Catherine Tate, who stars in the Doctor Who Christmas
Special, has revealed that she thinks that it was Billie's presence in the show that really made it appeal to girls.
She told the Daily Record: "The way Doctor Who has taken
off is just fantastic. And I think Billie is a big part of getting young girls on board as well, because they all kind of
idolise the Rose character."
In fairness we think David Tennant might also be responsible
for a few girlie fans...
