Laurence Fox admits he used to shout ‘cut’ at Billie Piper to end an argument

'I 100 per cent wound the f*** out of her... she never broke any teeth'

Laurence Fox has revealed that he used to shout “cut” at ex-wife Billie Piper to try and shut down their arguments.

The 41-year-old admitted to The Sunday Times that they used to have terrible fights in which he “100 per cent wound the f*** out of her”, before continuing: “She never broke any teeth”.

"He used to shout 'cut' at the height of their arguments," the interview reads. "He now refuses to argue. 'You don’t need that in your house. You don’t need that shit.'"

The two actors divorced back in 2016 after nine years of marriage. Piper has since moved in with her new boyfriend, musician Johnny Lloyd.

Of this Fox said: “I actually do feel for her,” he says, but feels “more for Johnny, who’s a sweetheart. Because I would go, ‘Oh God, what happens if this goes wrong?’”

Fox caused uproar in January this year when a BBC Question Time appearance saw him accuse a woman of colour of racism after she called him a “white privileged male”.

Fox called the discussion surrounding the Meghan Markle race row “boring” and claimed: “It's not racism. We're the most tolerant lovely country in Europe.”

After the show, actors’ union Equity denounced him as “a disgrace to our industry”.

Speaking of the appearance, Fox actor said it “caused a lot of stress” among his family. Since the show aired, he claims to have been taking sleeping pills for insomnia “because I thought my career was over”.
