Billie Piper’s ex-husband Chris Evans is said to have offered to host the reception following Billie’s marriage to boyfriend Laurence Fox.

Billie is said to be planning to marry Laurence on New Year’s Eve this year and BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris has offered the grounds of his Surrey home for the post-vow celebration.

A source told the Sun: “The grounds are beautiful and it’s perfect for the wedding because it’s so private.”

“Billie and Chris share everything, even now. They are always borrowing things off each other, so for them it’s not out of the ordinary.”

The source added that Laurence, who met the former Doctor Who star while acting opposite her in the West End production of Treats, is comfortable with Billie’s relationship with her former husband: “Laurence has got used to Chris always being around. He wants Billie to have her perfect day and she feels very comfortable at the house because it is so private.”
