Billie marries for second time

01/01/2008

Billie Piper married actor Laurence Fox in a traditional English ceremony in West Sussex yesterday.

The ceremony took place at a 13th century church in the countryside, a short walk away from her £750,000 house in Eastbourne. Even though guests were only told the venue on the day of the wedding it was still besieged by paparazzi looking for pictures of the star's special day.

Piper looked resplendent in a low-cut ivory dress and was accompanied by four bridesmaids who wore short purple dresses.

David Tennant, Lewis star Kevin Whatley, The Office's Lucy Davies and ex-husband DJ Chris Evans were present at the wedding. After a one-hour service, the bride and groom stepped out to the sound of church bells and headed to their reception in Godalming Surrey.

The Honey to the B star met Fox while working on the stage show Treats. The couple were engaged just months after meeting and are now married. The Doctor Who actress is marrying into a showbusiness family which is involved in film production and whose members are actors themselves.

Piper finalised her divorce from first husband DJ Chris Evans in May this year.
