Billie Piper makes return to stage

Billie Piper returned to the West End stage after missing two performances of her new show Treats.
The play, by Christopher Hampton, is due to formally open at the Garrick Theatre on Thursday, a week later than originally planned.
On Tuesday, at one of the preview performances, the former Dr Who star failed to appear on stage.
But on Wednesday she seemed fit and well as she took to the stage in front of a full house.
Ten days ago, the actress missed another preview performance after collapsing shortly before she was meant to appear on stage.
Danielle Robinson, spokeswoman for the star, said: "She was off on Tuesday night on doctor's orders because she wasn't very well.
"She saw a doctor on Tuesday and was diagnosed with a bug."
Piper is the latest star to fall ill while performing in the West End.
The Sound of Music star Connie Fisher will be absent from the hit production for the next fortnight after damaging a vocal chord.
Fisher, who has proved a huge draw with audiences after winning the part in a BBC talent show, has missed several performances over recent months through ill health.
