Wiltshire's Billie Piper is returning to the role of high class call girl Belle in a second series of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl on ITV2.
The series achieved record audiences of more than two million in 2007 and returns to the channel for a further eight episodes in September 2008. The first series is being repoeated on ITV1 on Wednesdays at 10.40pm from next week.
Based on the best-selling, real life diaries of an upmarket escort, the story gives the viewer a deeper look into the world of the glamorous and intelligent Belle Du Jour, played by Billie, who is Hannah to her family.
Belle is now a high-class independent escort. Unintentionally befriended by the bubbly but clingy Bambi (Ashley Madekwe - Trial & Retribution, Drop Dead Gorgeous), Belle finds herself an unwilling mentor to this wannabe call girl.
And while her best friend Ben (Iddo Goldberg), the only person who knows about her secret life, seems to be settling down into domestic bliss, Belle is throwing herself into her work.
But then Hannah meets Alex (Callum Blue - The Tudors, Dirt), the handsome doctor who she mistakes for a client in a hotel bar.
Belle faces the most difficult question of all - can you keep having sex for money if you're falling in love? Will the girl who thinks she has it all ever really manage to have a relationship?
Cherie Lunghi (Casualty 1906, The Brief, Cutting It) returns as Belle's former agent Stephanie. Toyah Wilcox and Stuart Organ return as Hannah's parents.
