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.

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.
