Will Billie wed her diamond geezer?

Billie Piper shows off a dazzling diamond ring as she takes a trip to the pub with her boyfriend.
The former Doctor Who star was wearing what was thought to be an engagement ring, adding to speculation that she is to marry actor Laurence Fox today.
The couple are rumoured to be having a secret ceremony in the Cotswolds with only their closest friends and family present - floods permitting.
Miss Piper's platinum ring studded with three diamonds was clearly on show as she and Fox enjoyed a pub lunch and took a stoll with their dogs.
And while it may not have been the most extravagant of sparklers, it certainly beats any from her previous marriage to DJ Chris Evans.
Her ex-husband, with whom she remains good friends, neglected to buy her either an engagement ring or a wedding ring for their £250 quickie ceremony in Las Vegas in 2001.
Miss Piper, 24, and 28-year-old Fox, son of actor James Fox, met last year when they starred in a play together.
They are believed to have booked an intimate Costwolds venue for today. They asked family and friends to keep the weekend free, but it was unclear last night if the flooding in parts of Gloucestershire would affect proceedings.
Some areas have been left without water and there are severe weather warnings in place for the weekend.
A friend of the couple said: "It is a small affair. They do not want a glitzy event, just a lovely day for everyone.
"She is completely in love and the happiest I have known her for a long time."
The rumoured wedding come a fortnight before Evans, 41, marries golf writer Natasha Shishmanian, 28.
Miss Piper and Evans have said how delighted they are that each has found love again after their own marriage ended. They divorced only last month, with Miss Piper refusing to claim a penny of Evans's fortune.
