250+ fans have turned out today for singer turned actress Billie Piper. Billie Piper studied at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School. She caught the eyes of record producers who were interested in signing a young vocalist. When she was the poster girl for the ad campaign of a British pop music magazine, "Smash Hits", she reached no 1 with her first single 'Because We Want To' at the tender age of 15.

She was famously married to Virgin radio presenter and millionaire Chris Evans, from whom she has since split and has refused to take a penny from in their divorce. Her parents only found out by listening to Virgin Radio, that she had married Chris Evans in a Las Vegas chapel called Little Church of the West. She was 18 and he was 34. Billie wore flip-flops and Danny Baker was best man. Billie and Chris took the second most expensive wedding package the chapel offered.

Billie won the most popular actress award at the 11th annual National Television Awards in London, England on October 25, 2005 for her portrayal of "Rose Tyler" in Dr Who.
