Billie Piper is victim of pram theft After Emma Freud disclosed that she'd had eight bicycles stolen, the criminal fraternity now appear to be turning their attentions to celebrity prams. Laurence Fox says that he and his wife, Billie Piper were relieved of one over the weekend. "Our pushchair was stolen last night," the 35-year-old Lewis actor says. I mean, what sort of steals a pushchair? The couple live in West Sussex, with their two children, Winston, four, and Eugene, aged one. Although trapped for one-and-a-half minutes in his car in 800-degree heat in a horrific crash in 1976, Niki Lauda feels that the emphasis on safety in Formula One these days is making the sport duller. "For racing to be exciting, for drivers to be like gladiators, like heroes, there has to be the prospect of death," says Lauda, 64, whose rivalry with James Hunt is documented in the film Rush. If not, they are just boys going round in circles. He adds: "Now it's impossible to die in a car ... good for the families, bad for the sport."
