Billie Piper admits there is 'absolutely no way' she has a work-life balance

Billie Piper has admitted there is "absolutely no way" she has a work-life balance.

The 'Scoop' actress - who has sons Winston, 15, and 11-year-old Eugene with ex-husband Laurence Fox and five-year-old daughter Tallullah with former partner Johnny Lloyd - finds her job can be quite "tiring" because she has to spend so long out of the home when she has a major role in a project, and it has become an increasing "struggle" with juggling her work and the needs of her kids.

She told independent.co.uk: "Working mothers’ stuff is really complex."

Asked if she has a work-life balance, she added: “No. I don’t. I feel like we’ve been told we should have that. But there’s absolutely no way I have that?

"And that’s one of the tiring things about being an actor for hire – if you’re working in a lead role, you’re out of the house sometimes 15 hours a day.

"I really struggle with that now I’ve got three kids.”

Billie explained it can be particularly difficult as she may have an intense three-month period of filming and then no work for the rest of the year.

She noted: "But when you’re gone, you’re gone. Those extremes make for something quite rocky.”
