Billie Piper has opened up about taking naked pictures – admitting she’s snapped herself in the buff on more than one occasion.
The actress, who appears in new Sky show I Hate Suzie, says while she will pose for the shots, she would never send them to anyone else.
Billie, 37, said: “I’ve taken naked pictures of myself but I sort of do it as a check in for me.
“I sort of go ‘How am I looking? What do I look like now?’
“So I do it to sort of check in with myself.
“I would never send one because it’s way too risky.”

Speaking frankly about the issue of revenge porn, Billie, whose character sees her nudes leak online, added on the Is It Just Me? podcast: “On a more serious note it can get really really ugly and very sad.
“It can get very exposing for people – for older people and younger people.
“It’s happening more and more it’s actually abusive.
“I think smartphones are not true to life at all.

“Even in a photo of your face as a selfie, I find it to be very misleading.”
Billie, who released her debut single at 15, recently admitted she wouldn’t like to be a pop star now due to online pressures.
“Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t have wanted to be a famous pop star now,” she told The Sunday Times.

“The social media element of it all is terrifying because it’s continuous, it’s in your bed, next to your bedside table every night.
“In my pop career there were moments that were horrible to experience as a teenager, but they came and went.
“But the thought of having that constantly on your person – I wear my phone round my neck like some weird slave – and with one simple click you’re able to see what millions of people think about you or other people, or just about anything…
“I would argue that it’s got worse.”
