Billie Piper's latest programme The Secret Diary of a Call Girl showing on ITV2 has been nominated for a gong at the UK Adult Film Awards.

The show sees Piper playing a high class hooker in the capital, a role for which the 25-year-old actress had to take lessons from real dominatrix professionals.

Taking place at the Troxy nightclub in east London on November 29th, the award show will see the racy drama in the running for this year's best soft core production.

The award's organiser Phil Black said: "The sheer fact that the series was aired is a reflection of the changing attitudes in British society.

"Series such as this help a nation move closer to an understanding of itself."

The positive response to the series will come as welcome relief to Billie, who revealed her concern about the public reaction to her saucy role.

She told the Express: "I'm really scared, if I'm honest.

"It's not just one sex scene here and there, it's endless!"
