Inside Billie Piper's career resurgence as she lands string of lucrative new roles including surprise Doctor Who return - three decades after bursting onto the scene as a singer


Now, with Billie, 42, confirmed to be returning to Doctor Who, her career is looking brighter than ever, with a string of lucrative new roles in the pipeline.

Yet in the 2010s, Billie's work commitments took a backseat to her personal life as she split from right-wing political activist Laurence Fox broke down and went on to welcome a daughter with Tribes frontman Johnny Lloyd. The Swindon-born star was lauded for her brooding portrayal of former popstar Suzie Pickles, who has her life thrown into disarray when intimate photos of her in a compromising position with a man who isn't her husband, are leaked online. Yet Billie didn't suffer the same problem with her next role, landing a lead part in the 2024 Netflix drama Scoop, a dramatic retelling of the process of securing and filming the 2019 Prince Andrew interview with Newsnight.
