"In the past eight months, I've been Rose a lot more than I've been Billie," says Billie Piper of her role as the Doctor's companion Rose Tyler in Doctor Who. It's a telling comment, given that her three-year marriage to TV and radio presenter Chris Evans broke up while she was filming the series.
"Doctor Who has been my life for almost a year, and that can be quite exclusive," says Piper. "When you do finally get home for a weekend, the last thing you want to do is talk. You just want to go to bed, or eat loads of food and drink loads of wine. So, no, I don't think I managed that side of things well."
But she firmly quashes speculation that Evans forced her to choose between her career and their marriage: "No, there was never an ultimatum. The marriage just wasn't working for various different reasons. I think the split would have happened anyway, though maybe not as soon."
