Billie Piper’s ex Laurence Fox told Bizarre: ‘I’m completely abstinent in that way. I’m firmly Dad at the moment and occasionally festivals’

In an exclusive interview at the festival, where he performed on the Hard Rock stage, Laurence admitted he has had no rebounds since their split, saying: “I’m completely abstinent in that way. I’m firmly Dad at the moment and occasionally festivals.”

Life has not been easy for Laurence since breaking up with former teen pop star and Doctor Who actress Billie in March after almost nine years. While he has equal custody of their sons Eugene and Winston, he has had to rope in his mum for support while he struggles to adapt to being a single father.

Laurence added: “I see at least 50 per cent of my sons at the moment.

“I juggle being a dad and my career with great difficulty, but I have to work and earn money and pay for my life.

“It’s fine, it’s sort of OK – everyone has to do it.

“It’s not an easy ride through parenthood. I need help at the moment. I’ve got my mum, who’s helped out.”

Perhaps she can babysit while he goes on a hot date.

“Nothing Olly Murs does has anything to do with Prince — anything at all. He is full of ­insincerity and bulls**t. I have no time for him. He’s like a s**t ROBBIE WILLIAMS.”
At least Olly sells records.
