Billie Piper supports Meningitis in Babies Awareness Week

BABIES run the highest risk of meningitis, says national charity Meningitis Research Foundation.

The risk is 38 times higher for babies under 12 months of age compared to children older than one and adults. Every year over 1000 babies in the UK get meningitis and septicaemia, and one in ten die from the illness.

Of those fortunate enough to survive, about a quarter are left with life-altering effects that can be as severe as brain damage, deafness and cerebral palsy.

Billie Piper goes heavy on the glamour

Motherhood clearly agrees with Billie Piper.

After months spent at home caring for her baby son Winston, the actress made a triumphant return to London's social scene last night.

In a bang-on-trend Parisian outfit she bore more than a passing resemblance to Claudia Schiffer as she sashayed her way back onto the circuit.

Although she has been away from the spotlight, she showed at the TV Quick awards ceremony that her fashion radar is still well-tuned.

I'm not grown-up enough for my baby -

Doctor Who star Billie Piper reckons she's too daft to be a mum.

The 26-year-old actress - who has a 10-month-old son Winston with husband Laurence Fox - thinks she is too young and immature to have a child.

And she worries she'll fill his head with rubbish. She said: "You think having a child will kind of centre you as a person because you're a parent and therefore you're supposed to be a grown-up.

"But, if anything, I think about the fact that I'm not grown up enough.

"The fear sets in when passing your knowledge on to your child

"You realise you don't want to fill his head with a load of rubbish. I need to really think about what I believe in before I tell him anything. There's a lot of soul-searching."

What Billie Piper Talks about being a Call Girl

There are big changes for both Billie and Belle in the second series of the ITV2 drama Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

While Belle embarks on a proper relationship a pregnant Billie had to cope with filming the new series

“One of the biggest changes is that Belle manages to fall in love,” explains Billie.
“This puts pressure on her to change profession and I think it really freaks her out. It starts to dictate everything she does and she finds that overwhelming.

“Callum, who plays Belle’s boyfriend Alex, is a great guy and a really good actor who searches for the truth in things. He is emotionally gifted and very honest; the sort of actor who has lots of emotions at his fingertips ready to use in the tougher scenes. I find that impressive. We worked well together. I think it is a believable chemistry and we enjoyed each others company.”
