British actress BILLIE PIPER is set to marry fiance LAURENCE FOX on New Year's Eve - and she's holding the reception in a pub owned by her ex-husband! Wow - talk about weird. Not sure too many new hubbies would be too impressed with that situation...

The star, who played Dr Who's sidekick Rose (now showing in Duabi on Orbit) will wed in a church ceremony in West Sussex, England, before
travelling to the nearby Lickfold Inn, owned by her former partner, DJ Chris Evans.

Fox and Piper moved to the village earlier this year, just months after they began dating. They met when they were cast as co-stars in West End play Treats, in London.

Piper and 41-year-old Evans were divorced in June, after five years of marriage, but extremely sweetly, they've remained best buddies. That's what we like to see isn't it - a happy ending in celeb world. Awww.
