Billie, 40, co-ordinated her large accessory with an oversized suit in the same shade of blue.

She finished the dramatic look with a big black scarf despite the heatwave currently gripping the country.

In recent years Billie has starred in dramas including Doctor Who and Collateral and previously played the lead role in Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

But before that Billie found fame as a pop star in the late 90s, following the release of her debut single Because We Want To in 1998 when she was just 15.

More on Billie Piper

Between 1998 and 2000 Billie scored two top 20 albums and three UK number one singles.

She previously opened up about the decision to quit her pop career, saying she felt "lonely and unsafe" during that period.

Billie said: "When I look back at it now I have my own children, it seems unbelievably unsafe. It felt desperate and lonely."
