Billie (slowly) paints her ex out of the picture

TEN months after they divorced, Billie Piper has finally obliterated her last public sign of affection for ex-husband Laurence Fox.

Very romantically (and perhaps a little impetuously) Billie, 34, had the letters FOX tattooed on her ring finger after she married Lewis actor Laurence in 2007 – as our first pictured shows.

But after the couple split she began masking the letters on her finger with make-up – as you can clearly see in our second snap. And now she has taken the drastic step of having the letters totally blacked out, as our final photo – taken last weekend at the Birmingham Comic Con – reveals.

In the first throes of love, Billie also had FOX tattooed on her arm but endured painful laser sessions to remove the inking before dealing with the one on her finger.
