Billie Piper wants better role models

Billie Piper has shared her thoughts on 'size zero' celebrities.

The former Doctor Who actress has admitted that she worries about younger people looking up to skinny models, but added that she believes some celebs are treated too harshly by the press.

"I think the whole size zero debate is disgusting. Some models you see are tiny because that's the way they were born, but then they'll get the attention and that will start feeding a fire," Billie told Glamour magazine.

"My sister, who is 13, looks amazing but she's already worried about her figure. She loves Posh and I say 'Come on Ellie, she's tiny. What's wrong with Shakira? She's sexy, curvy.' But she has no interest."
