Billie Piper, star of ITV2’s best perfroing show, Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, is said to be planning a wedding on New Years Eve.

A friend of Billie revealed that she is planning to marry boyfriend, Laurence Fox, and has asked friends and family to keep the date free.

The friend commented: “The cat’s out of the bag. Billie had to announce the date because her friends were making plans for New Year’s Eve.”

She added that Piper’s ex-husband, presenter Chris Evans, and his new wife Natasha Shishmanian, would be present.

“Billie wants Chris there and Laurence is fine with that,” added the source. “She wants it to be the mother of all parties, so she’s having it on New Year’s Eve. She thinks a magazine deal will keep the paparazzi away.”
