Piper begs young fans to miss new drama
Billie Piper has begged her young fans to avoid watching her act as a prostitute in new TV drama Secret Life of a Call Girl.

The actress has asked the young audience that watches her former show Doctor Who to not see her in her new steamier role because she is worried that they could be left shocked.

Piper said: "The kids who watched me in Doctor Who shouldn't watch me in this.

"I have this abiding fear of people thinking I leaped at the chance to appear in a series that's heavy on sex and that therefore I'm sort of a slag.

"I thought longer and harder about taking on this role than I had about any other. I hope I made the right decision."

Piper's character is inspired by a blog by a real-life call girl. The drama will be shown on September 27 on ITV2 at 10pm.
