Billie Piper 'quite overwhelmed' to work with Tim Burton
Billie Piper has said she was thrilled to work with Tim Burton on the new series of Wednesday, describing the director as "really childlike energetically". Piper plays Isadora Capri, the new head of music at Nevermore Academy, in the second series of the hit Netflix show, which is set to air next month. The drama, which centres around Wednesday Addams of The Addams Family, stars American Jenna Ortega in the lead role, and also features a number of British actresses including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joanna Lumley and Piper. Speaking to Radio Times, Piper described the character of Capri as a "really accomplished musician" with "an interesting past of her own". The actress told the magazine she was "quite overwhelmed" to be working with Burton after admiring him for so long, and loved watching his films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Frankenweenie with her children. She added: "I watched Beetlejuice so many times as a kid that I actually feel like it inspired the interiors in my house and the clothes I wear. I was fanatical." Doctor Who star Piper said she was "grateful" to work with Burton. "I realised I was dealing with someone who's really childlike energetically – open and engaging and fun," she added. "I love his energy. And that's what it feels like: like you're being painted into Tim Burton's piece of art, because it's a very specific composition a lot of the time, and it's striking."

Inside Irish Tour de France ace Ben Healy's life beyond cycling with girlfriend and adorable pet dog

He was actually born and raised in England with his early years spent in Dudley in the West Midlands region. He has Irish heritage via his dad's side of the family who traced back to Cork. Upon making inroads early on in his cycling career he opted to represent Ireland as opposed to England. Read More On Irish Sport In one chat with Cycling News, he laid out his family's Irish roots as well as how his initial decision to compete as an Irish rider was partly down to help him fulfil his dream of becoming a professional. He stated: "It's all from my dad's side. He wasn't born there but his grandparents and brothers and sisters were from Cork, and they moved over from Ireland in the 1970s for work-related reasons. "I felt it was a nice move for me and, if I'm completely honest, at first it was for the opportunities, but the family connection was there, and I do really feel like a part of Ireland now. "That side of the family is proud of what I've done, too - they all are obviously. I go back now and then, but not that often with racing." Most read in Cycling Ben's father Bryan was a cyclist himself in his youth so the sport was very much in the blood for him. He added: "It was through my dad. He just took me down to the local outdoor track one day in Halesowen. 'People believe what they want to believe' - Golf star Shane Lowry's prickly response to question about his drinking "He never really forced it on me but he took me along to some of the Sunday sessions and it just went from there. I enjoyed it and always wanted to keep going back. "I was probably five years old and carried on with that by trying to qualify for national omniums but I was never very good at it. "I quickly moved on from the track and actually got into mountain biking through my dad again. "I started racing XC and then always used road alongside that. It wasn't until I was a junior that I started to really focus on the road and leave mountain biking behind." GIRLFRIEND AND PET DOG Healy is in a long-term relationship with his artist girlfriend Martha. They have an adorable pet dog together. In an interview with He outlined: "At the moment, me and my girlfriend just recently got a puppy. I really love just walking and spending some time with my girlfriend and the dog. "Great downtime for me. It's a miniature dachshund called Olive. She's a girl. Super, super crazy dog, but we really love her and it's awesome."
