Billie Piper 'struggling to find work'

Billie Piper has admitted that she is struggling to find another acting job.

The actress, who recently starred in the final series of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, told The Sun that the industry has become more unpredictable in the wake of the financial crisis.

She 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."

Speaking of the state of the television industry, the former Doctor Who star claimed that budget cuts are pushing many Brits to look for work in the US instead.

"Things are getting made a lot faster for less money and there are a lot fewer opportunities for actors," she added. "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."

Piper recently confessed that she is not planning on having any more children.
