Billie Piper took lessons from a dominatrix to prepare for her role
|
Earlier this month actress Billie Piper was shortlisted for an Evening Standard theatre award for stage play Treats.
Her latest nomination, however, may not be quite so prestigious: Best soft core production at the UK Adult Film Awards.
That is the prize Piper's ITV2 show The Secret Diary of a Call Girl could win when the awards - now in their second year - are presented on 29 November.
Piper plays a high-class prostitute in the show, adapted from the best-seller pseudonymously penned by Belle de Jour.
The eight-part series is the only mainstream production to receive a nomination at the UK Adult Film and Television Awards.
'Changing attitudes'
"The sheer fact that the series was aired is a reflection of the changing attitudes in British society," said organiser Phil Black, who commended Piper for her "brave" performance.
"Series such as this help a nation move closer to an understanding of itself."
Other categories include most outrageous scene, best fetish film and pay-per-view channel of the year.
This year's ceremony will take place at the Troxy nightclub in east London.
