Billie Piper is considering going back to school because she feels stupid compared to her studious boyfriend.The ‘Doctor Who’ beauty - who dropped out of school aged just 14 to pursue a pop career - claims her law student boyfriend, Amadu Sowe, has inspired her to read again and rediscover the joys of learning.Billie, now 23, said: "I feel so under-educated around him. I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I’d continued with my education, but that’s something I can do in the future. "I’m reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it’s like my little friend- it takes my mind off things."The sexy blonde says her newly discovered thirst for knowledge is something she shares with her ‘Doctor Who’ character Rose Tyler.She added to InStyle magazine: "When you first met Rose, she’s living this mundane life, waiting for something exciting to happen, and I know exactly how that feels. I still feel like that sometimes."The new series of the hugely popular sci-fi show begins this weekend BBC One.
