Billie Piper and boyfriend Laurence Fox may only have been together for a few months but the couple are reportedly planning buy a country retreat together.

A source told the Sun that the couple have been looking for a cottage in Devon or the Cotswolds: “Billie’s quite keen to get out of the capital.”

“She’s really fallen for the country life and a lot of Laurence’s family and friends live that way - plus she really fancies keeping chickens. She wants to live a more wholesome life and in London you’re never more than a few yards from a pub.”

“And we all know she’s a scruffy dresser and out of London she would feel no pressure to impress anyone.”

“Billie loved living out of London with her then-husband Chris Evans, but thought their place was too big. She would want something smaller this time.”
