Billie Piper Planning Secret Wedding

Billie Piper is planning a secret New Year's Eve wedding to actor Laurence Fox.

The TV star will become a wife for the second time near her Sussex home - and intends to invite her previous husnband Chris Evans.

A friend tells the ThisIsLondon website, "The cat's out of the bag. Billie had to announce the date because her friends were making plans for New Year's Eve.

"Billie wants Chris there and Laurence is fine with that. She wants it to be the mother of all parties, so she's having it on New Year's Eve.

"She thinks a magazine deal will keep the paparazzi away."
