ITV 2 Gives Belle de Jour The Green Light
Billie Piper will star as the London call girl Belle de Jour in a television adaptation of the book, in one
of ITV2’s first major drama commissions.
The eight-part series, based on the popular diary of the anonymous sex worker, was originally meant for Channel
4 but the broadcaster turned it down.
ITV director of television Simon Shaps said that the move was part of a programming strategy to get more drama
on ITV2. It will be made by independent producers Tiger Aspect and Silver Apples and talent agency Artists Rights Group.
The network is also planning to broadcast a new drama about a journalist working in Iraq, based on the experiences
of reporter Audrey Gillan when she was embedded with British troops during the invasion during 2003.
The film is being made by independent production company Tightrope, founded by Shameless creator Paul Abbott
and Bafta chair Hilary Bevan Jones.

Ticket Treat For Billie Piper Fans
Bosses of Billie's play Treats have vowed to give fans of Billie another ticket if she does not appear on
stage when they go to see her.
They told The Times “If for any reason Billie is unable to make it on stage again, and anyone
had come to see her in particular and was therefore unhappy, we would offer them tickets for another performance in which
Billie is appearing.”
Billie Sets Her Sights On The Royal Court
Billie tells What's On Stage Magazine that she would love to appear on The Royal Court. She says: “I
would like to do more theatre, especially at the Royal Court. I’d like to do some young writer’s stuff because
I find it really inspiring that young kids have these thoughts in their heads and then put them on paper and turn them into
beautiful plays. I’ve seen loads of stuff at the Court, and it blows my mind every time.”
Billie's Dutch Courage Gets Rid Of Stage Fright
Billie Piper had to down shots of alcohol before her performance on stage - because she was so terrified.
The actress said she was suffering from severe nerves before performing in play Treats at London's Garrick
Theatre.
She said: "I was so terrified I had to go to the pub and down some shots. I'm just relieved tonight's over."
Piper and her boyfriend and co-star Laurence Fox refused to comment on reports that they're engaged and
that Billie's expecting a baby.
But the couple, who have been together for a few months, did seem more loved up than ever, as Laurence said:
"I don't believe in fate but I do believe we get what we pray for.
"And I couldn't have prayed for more than Billie. My family all love her, she's become a major part of my
life and I don't think I could find a better girlfriend."
Billie, who split from first hubby Chris Evans in 2004, also couldn't hide her love for Laurence.
She said: "I am so happy right now, this play has had a serious effect on me.
"I've been so drained doing this role, I find it very emotional. It's not fun having to cry every night
on stage.
"I have to abuse Laurence in the play and that upsets me, I would never be able to say those things in real
life."
Indeed, the 24-year-old actress was in tears while taking her bow at the Garrick Theatre last night. She
said: "I can't get over how terrifying it is on stage every night compared to anything else."
Laurence said he also found it hard having a girlfriend in the public eye. "I've never
been in this situation before. It's all new to me and I hate the fact she's so scrutinised. All I want to do is protect her,"
he said.
According to Billie, her ex-hubby Chris Evans also had a tough time watching the play.
She said: "Chris told me it was so horrible watching me so upset. He's seen me cry like that in different
situations, but on stage it was different.
"He told me he could never watch the show again."
