10 Doctor Who Stars Before They Were Famous

1. Billie Piper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_7tWa-QFpA Why she gotta play that song so loud?! Because she wants to, because she wants to! The fact Billie Piper has established herself as such a popular and versatile actress is no mean feat considering her first claim to fame was in a completely different industry altogether. At the tender age of just 15, the Rose Tyler actress was handpicked by a record label after appearing in a series of commercials and subsequently became the youngest female artist to debut at a number one single when her one hit wonder, Because We Want To, was released in 1998. Although her popularity in the UK dwindled after her first encounter with the charts, her debut album became double platinum in New Zealand and her subsequent international success resulted in Billie becoming known as the decade's prestigious Princess of Pop... and she's got the Smash Hits award to prove it! Needless to say, she retired from the music industry indefinitely in the early 2000's and she hasn't looked back since. More's the pity. Honey to the B, that's you and me...
