Billie, 24, is best known for playing Rose Tyler in the BBC's sci-fi hit Doctor Who. The pretty star quit the show last year and appeared in the Victorian period drama The Ruby In The Smoke. Her next role will be as Fanny Price in an adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.
A C4 spokeswoman confirmed the news, saying: "The Belle de Jour drama is in early development and Billie Piper is attached to star in it."
