Piper to marry Fox

British acting couple Billie Piper and Laurence Fox will marry later this month according to reports.

The pair, who have been dating for just six months, are planning a small ceremony among close friends and family in England's Cotswolds.

A family source tells British newspaper the Sunday Mirror: "It's a small affair. They don't want a glitzy showbiz event."

The couple met when they performed together on London's West End in play Treats.

Fox, 28, is the son of actor James Fox.

Former Doctor Who star Piper, 24, recently divorced her first husband, DJ and TV presenter Chris Evans.
