Billie Piper promotes Secret Diary of a Call Girl DVD on British talk show

On Monday, Billie Piper popped into London from her English country home to visit with comedian and talk show host Paul O’Grady.

Her appearance was to promote the DVD release of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, but the Diary star had lots to say about rural life, filming during her pregnancy and what it’s like to be a new mom.

A few highlights:

• Billie and her husband, Laurence Fox, have two pigs and a bunch of chickens at their country estate.”Our chickens line up at the back door like dogs to be fed,” she said.
• Her baby, Winston, likes mirrors. “He can be sobbing, absolutely sobbing and he’ll walk past a mirror and then be half smiling and half crying.”
• The writers and cast of Diary do a lot of research, with primary sources: “We still speak to lots of call girls now. And we met the author of the book and blog herself, Belle.” Their stories are radically different from what we’re used to seeing on TV,  “and people sometimes find that offensive.”

Here’s the full clip:

Season 2 of Secret Diary of a Call Girl bows Sunday at 10:30 p.m. on Showtime.

Don’t get the finale blues, though. Season 3 starts filming in April!
