Billie Piper ‘enraged’ after discovering Laurence Fox cheated on her while still married
BILLIE Piper has been left enraged after discovering that ex-husband Laurence Fox cheated on her.
The star, 41, told pals she is seething after reading that the father of her two sons asked out actress Honeysuckle Weeks while they were still together.
Fox, 45, met Honeysuckle, 44, on the set of the popular ITV detective drama Lewis. He then tried to “woo” her in a series of dates.
In an interview with a broadsheet newspaper, Honeysuckle said: “Laurence asked me out three times. On each occasion he stood me up.
"Although the real question is why did I keep agreeing?
“Mind you he was still married to Billie at the time.”

Last night a friend of Billie said: “Billie was obviously stunned to read the interview — and discover her husband, with whom she was very much together at the time, was wooing other women.
“She feels humiliated and betrayed. God knows who else he tried to date when they were together.
"Safe to say, she is extremely happy she and Laurence aren’t together today.”
Fox worked with Honeysuckle on Lewis in 2015 and the pair have long been good friends.

Bafta-nominated actress Billie and Fox divorced in May 2016.
They started dating in 2006 and married the following year.
The couple were, at one time, a golden couple of showbiz before their acrimonious split.
Between 2016 and 2017, the pair became embroiled in a lengthy custody battle over access to their boys Winston and Eugene.
Billie has a third child, Tallulah, with her current partner, musician Johnny Lloyd.
While Fox has talked publicly about his heartbreak at the end of their marriage, Billie prefers never to discuss it in public.
Fox was recently fired by GB News following derogatory and misogynistic comments made about a female journalist.
He is leader of The Reclaim Party, a right-wing populist political group which he founded.
In 2021, he stood in the London mayoral elections, in order to “fight against extreme political correctness”.
He finished sixth and lost his £10,000 deposit.
Last week he was arrested after encouraging people to target Ulez cameras in a video rant.
