By Sarah Fitzmaurice


In need of caffeine: Billie Piper was looking extremely tired as she stopped off for coffee yesterday in a pair of short denim cut-offs


She recently revealed that she has struggled to find work since the hit series Secret Diary of a Call Girl ended – so perhaps the stress has been affecting her sleep.

But Billie Piper was looking extremely sleepy and very much in need of her coffee as she popped into Starbucks yesterday.

The actress also showed off her toned legs in a pair of baggy denim shorts which she had teamed with a brown jumper.


And it seemed like Billie really had just woken up before she headed for her caffeine fix and she had scraped her hair up into a messy bun.

On her feet she had slipped on a pair of comfy looking leopard print loafers as she made her way to her car with her breakfast.

As she opened the car door to her Mini she balanced the second cup of coffee on top of the little car while she negotiated the other cup and the bag filled with breakfast.

While she has now finished playing call girl Belle du Jour in the hit ITV2 series, there is a possibility Billie will be working on a film version of the show with producers Stateside.

However, Billie recently revealed despite talks about the movie, she is struggling to find work because of the credit crunch.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Billie, 28, said: 'I'm just trying to find a job. We're back to the drawing board.

Heading for home: Billie, who has recently revealed she is struggling to find work after finishing Secret Diary of a Call Girl, negotiated the two coffee cups before getting into her mini to drive home


'It's frustrating, it's tiring. It's desperate. You slightly lose your mind. You have no confidence, then you have too much confidence.

'It's an endless frustration. That's the nature of the beast. You have to suck it up and get on with it.'

Billie even said she is considering moving her family, husband Laurence Fox and son Winston, to America in a bid to get a new job.

She said: 'Things are getting made a lot faster for less money and there are a lot fewer opportunities for actors.

'There's not a lot of work in the UK - that's why everyone's moving to America. It's where the work seems to be. But it definitely feels like a lot more of a slog to get a gig these days.'

But, despite London's blustery weather today, Billie Piper and Fearne Cotton still managed to look sexy as they fell victim to the stronger-than-usual breeze.

While Billie's blonde locks ended up just looking tousled by the wind, Fearne ended up showing a little bit more leg than intended as the hem of her purple dress, one of her own range for online retailer Very.co.uk, was blown up as she arrived at the BBC Radio 1 studios in London.

'It's desperate': Billie Piper blames the credit crunch for her struggle to find work

By Georgina Littlejohn


Struggling: Billie Piper said she is finding it tough to find a new acting role since her successful series Secret Diary of a Call Girl ended last month


As a sexy and adventurous call girl, she had a long list of eager clients queuing up for her titillating services.

But away from the small screen, actress Billie Piper has admitted that she is facing a 'desperate' battle to find work.

And she said the recession had made it even harder to land a role and she would consider upping sticks to the US to get work.


Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Billie, 28, said: 'I'm just trying to find a job. We're back to the drawing board.

'It's frustrating, it's tiring. It's desperate. You slightly lose your mind. You have no confidence, then you have too much confidence.

'It's an endless frustration. That's the nature of the beast. You have to suck it up and get on with it.'

Billie recently finished her last ever series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, in which she played escort Belle de Jour.

Titillating: Billie with Secret Diary co-stars Iddo Goldberg (L), who plays Ben, and Paul Nichols, who plays Harry


The successful ITV2 show ran from 2007 and the fourth and final series came to an end last month.

And it has just started in the US on the Showtime channel.

Billie is also well known for her role in Doctor Who as the Time Lord's assistant Rose Tyler, alongside David Tennant as the Doctor.

But Billie, who is married to actor Laurence Fox, 32, said she is now really struggling to land a new role.

Stateside success: Billie, seen here in a promo for Secret Diary's launch in the US, would consider a move across the Pond for the right role


And she said the credit crunch had put a halt to lavish spending on TV shows and said all the work was now in the US.

She said: 'Things are getting made a lot faster for less money and there are a lot fewer opportunities for actors.

'There's not a lot of work in the UK - that's why everyone's moving to America. It's where the work seems to be. But it definitely feels like a lot more of a slog to get a gig these days.

'I suppose that's a lot to do with our current climate and financial messes. People seem to have to work harder with a lot less time.

'And the subjects people are talking about, the stories they are wanting to tell - they have really changed too.

Famous role to date: Billie is best known for playing Rose Tyler, Doctor Who's time-travelling assistant alongside David Tennant


'There is a pool of work that is really, really thought-provoking and real. Then the extreme side is the enormous budgeted studio productions which are basically all made using a background green screen.'

And she added that she admired the way Americans made their TV shows and said: 'I like the way that if you're on a long-running show and you know it inside-out, you often have an option to produce or direct.

'If the right thing comes along and I get the opportunity to be cast in it, then I'd love to do that.'

Happy family: Billie and her actor husband Laurence Fox and their son Winston
