Billie Piper is turning into Elton John.

The 'Doctor Who' beauty has confessed her biggest extravagance is fresh flowers - just like the pop superstar - and she splashes out on them almost every day.

She confessed: "I love fresh flowers for my home. I spend far too much money on them, buying them almost every day."

Billie was recently rumoured to have angered film bosses by refusing to attend the premiere of her debut movie 'Spirit Trap'.

The actress, who plays the lead in the British horror film, reportedly couldn't be tied down to a date for the premiere - forcing producers to scrap the glittering opening night.

A source revealed at the time: "Billie has lots of commitments but that's cold comfort to her co-stars, crew and director.

"If she can't make the premiere, there's no point."
