Billie Piper Going Back To School 2006-04-10

Billie Piper is considering going back to school because she feels stupid compared to her studious boyfriend.

The ‘Doctor Who’ beauty - who dropped out of school aged just 14 to pursue a pop career - claims her law student boyfriend, Amadu Sowe, has inspired her to read again and rediscover the joys of learning.

Billie, now 23, said: "I feel so under-educated around him. I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I’d continued with my education, but that’s something I can do in the future.

"I’m reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it’s like my little friend- it takes my mind off things."

The sexy blonde says her newly discovered thirst for knowledge is something she shares with her ‘Doctor Who’ character Rose Tyler.

She added to InStyle magazine: "When you first met Rose, she’s living this mundane life, waiting for something exciting to happen, and I know exactly how that feels. I still feel like that sometimes."


The new series of the hugely popular sci-fi show begins this weekend BBC One.
