Also, according to a friend “Mother and baby are doing extremely well. Billie and Laurence are thrilled to bits.”, so we here at BPO wish your family the world of happiness at this amazing time!

Billie at Nelson’s Journey for Sport Relief
An emotional appeal film featuring Billie Piper’s visit to bereavement charity Nelson’s Journey will be shown as part of tonight’s Sport Relief TV fund-raiser.
The actress joined one of the charity’s therapeutic residential weekends at the Hilltop Outdoor Centre, near Sheringham, in early February, where she met children coping with the loss of close family members.
Among them were Georgie, Ashleigh and Serena Boast, whose father Mark was left brain-dead after a road accident two years ago. After 15 hours at his bedside, his wife Louise had to take the agonising decision to switch off his life-support machine.
Billie: “I got an agent when I was About 8 or 10”
So yesterday, Steph and I met with Almeida Steph who led us down to Billie’s dressing room (which also happened to be the dressing room I used during ‘Encourage the Others’!). Here’s how the interview went:
Billie Piper who plays Carly in the current production of Reasons to be Pretty at the Almeida Theatre, London, is famous for her TV roles in Doctor Who and Secret Diary of a Call girl. Young Friends went out to talk to Billie about acting for both TV and stage and her advice on getting into the theatre industry.
YF: Hi Billie, what inspired you to be an actress?
Billie: I remember watching Samantha Morton, she’s an amazing actress, I remember seeing her in this programme called Band of Gold which was about the darker side of prostitution and I remember seeing her thinking, “She is so extraordinary, I would love to be able to do that” and that’s when I started going to drama classes.
