Billie Piper has said she had “horrible” experiences when she was a teenage pop star in the Nineties.
Piper added she “wouldn’t have wanted to be a famous pop star” in the social media age.
Piper can next be seen in I Hate Suzie as Suzie Pickles, a former child star who is now an actor and whose phone has been hacked.
In her 2006 autobiography Growing Pains, Piper revealed her struggles with anorexia, saying that her years as a teenage pop star and her desire to emulate photos of “skinny models” drove her to eat tissues and go for up to five days without solid food.
