Piper nervous about Christmas 'Dr Who'

Billie Piper has revealed that she is feeling nervous about watching the Doctor Who Christmas special.

The actress, who plays the Doctor's assistant Rose, will be hitting the sherry bottle before she settles down to watch the episode.

"I’m a huge fan of Christmas specials," said Piper. "It means so much to me that our show is going out when families will be sitting down together, eating copious amounts and drinking sherry. I think I'm going to need a few sherries before I watch it.???

She added that the special is, "an amazing, emotional, scary episode".
