Billie Piper, an actress and celebrated singer, has revealed shocking facts about her financial situation. Despite her successful career, the star has disclosed that she is still in debt to Virgin Records, reportedly around £9 million. Piper signed with Innocent Records, a subsidiary of Virgin Records, as a teenager in 1998 and released her debut single ‘Because We Want To’ under the label. Speaking on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast, the 38-year-old star opened up about her ongoing financial struggle with Virgin Records.

“I’m still in debt to Virgin. If I ever release an album, which I won’t, I’d probably have to pay off that debt. It’s like a university debt.”
