Billie Piper was reportedly rushed to hospital after injuring her back while filming scenes for the new series of her hit- Sky TV show.

According to an show source, the 39-year-old Doctor Who star “hurt herself quite badly” while attempting to learn the moves for a Strictly Come Dancing -inspired scene.

The fictional Sky Max programme follows Billie’s character, a celebrity called Suzie Pickles, appear in a TV series called Dance Crazee.

“It was a case of life imitating art as she found out just how challenging taking part in a contest like this can be,” a source told The Sun.

“Billie hurt herself quite badly trying to master some challenging moves and it was decided it would be best if she went to hospital to get checked out properly.

“In the end she was fine but the setback will have some impact on filming.

“That will be a double blow for Billie as she’s not just the lead star but also co-created the show.”

Back in 2021, the actress, known for her role as Rose Tyler in Doctor Who, said that she had found inspiration to create the semi-autobiographical show as she came to terms with her "acute anxiety".

She said: “I think I’m just coming to terms with the fact that I actually have quite acute anxiety, and I know I managed that as a kid.

“Also, nobody was talking about it, so you couldn’t name it, and therefore it can often go unnoticed.”
