The BBC launched the new "Dr Who" in 2005.
When they did, they launched Billie as the best ever 'Dr' companion. A feisty heroine, Rose, with attitude and modern intelligence: a joy to watch on screen. But who is Billie piper?

Billie Piper was born in Swindon, England, UK, on 22nd September 1982. She has a brother Charlie and two sisters, Harley and Ellie.

An interest in acting led her to enrol at the Sixth Sense theatre company in 1990, which led to acting roles in several television commercials and an episode of “EastEnders”. More studies at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London followed.

When Billie was chosen as a spokes model for the British pop music magazine Smash Hits in 1997, scouts for the new Virgin Records subsidiary, Innocent Records, spotted her and signed her to their label.

Her first single, Because We Want To, propelled Billie to the status of the youngest solo artist to debut at number one on the UK charts. With the help of the follow-up number one single Girlfriend and the release of her debut album, Honey To The B, Billie named the UK's Pop Princess and Best Female Star at that year's Smash Hits Poll Winners party.

Billie took a break from singing when she married media mogul Chris Evans in 2001, but recently relaunched her acting career with a string of critically acclaimed performances in projects such as “The Canterbury Tales” and “Bella and the Boys”. Now divorced from Chris she has other exciting BBC projects about to happen.
She will return in series 2 of new "Dr Who" in 2006.

She is well worth watching, as her talent is bound to get bigger, she has so much energy and has a unique sparkle in her eyes, so watch out for this new star.
