Piper: I sound too posh

Thursday, May 29, 2008, 16:00

She may be renowned for playing a call girl from the wrong side of the tracks, but Billie Piper has revealed that she felt too posh to reprise her role as Rose Tyler in Doctor Who.

The actress, who married Laurence Fox last year, was worried that her accent had changed after playing a string of posh roles since leaving the BBC1 series.

Billie, 25, told Dr Who magazine: "I had to watch a lot of the old stuff so I could remember certain things about the character, because I've been playing posh birds since I left the programme.

"Rose is a bit of a chav, bless her. I needed to hear the voice and watch the posture and everything.

"But then the minute you get on set and you've got Russell T Davies's scripts - he remembers how to write so well for Rose - you're back there on day one really. Well, I hope! I haven't seen the rushes yet."
