In a section called Buzzfeed Spill The Tea, a past pop-star was questioned about what they discovered about the talented actress, Gillian, while they worked together.

Billie didn't hesitate in answering and said that she prefers regular Coke, the one with sugar, not the sugar-free or low-calorie versions such as Coke Zero.

It's quite uncommon to come across many actresses who adore indulging in extremely sweet snacks, but she definitely falls under that category.

Actress Billie Piper shared an interesting detail about her co-star Gillian Anderson's behavior during the filming of the new Netflix movie, Scoop. Piper described the habit as "remarkable."

During their time working together on a project, the ex-pop singer was inquired if there was any new information that she discovered about the talented performer, Gillian.

When questioned about it, Billie responded rapidly, stating that since it's not frequent, she characterized it as "fairly exceptional."

The movie features Billie starring as Sam McAlister, a producer at the BBC. Meanwhile, Gillian portrays Emily Maitlis from Newsnight.

The group of famous actors in the cast featured Rufus Sewell who portrayed Prince Andrew. Sewell had to endure a significant amount of prosthetics to effectively look like the Duke of York.

Last Friday, Gillian published a post on Instagram where she showed a quick look at the make-up trailer and recorded Rufus Sewell's transition into the character of Prince Andrew.

Gillian was in the pictures where she was standing at the back of the 56-year-old actor during the application of his prosthetics.

The pair smiled at the camera prior to, during, and after putting on the makeup. Additionally, Gillian exhibited her outfit and blonde hair.

The lead actor of The X-Files wrote on social media: 'I had a simple shooting week (plus!) Scoop is now available on Netflix!'

For the movie, Rufus had a complete makeover. He confessed that he needed a stand-in for a particular scene where the Duke climbs out of the bathtub.

In an interview with Radio Times, Rufus mentioned that he is not embarrassed about his own bum, and he flaunts it whenever he can. However, he revealed that the bum he showed off on a particular occasion was not his own, but was specifically brought in for the purpose.

Billie replied promptly and admitted to enjoying regular Coke, not the diet or Coke Zero versions, but the full sugar-loaded one. She also confessed her fondness for sugary snacks, a rarity among actresses.

When questioned about it, Billie replied swiftly and likened her reaction to that of a rapid-fire query. She justified her response by saying that it was not a frequent occurrence and used the term 'pretty remarkable' to describe it.

On Friday, Gillian shared several behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram to mark the release of Netflix's Scoop. One of the pictures showed her posing with Rufus Sewell, who also stars in the show.

The movie features Billie in the part of Sam McAlister, a BBC producer, while Gillian assumes the character of Emily Maitlis from Newsnight.

on Netflix's hit show "The Crown". The Crown is a successful television series on Netflix, and Rufus is one of the actors on the show. He plays the character named The Duke of York.

Gillian is playing the role of Emily Maitlis in the show.

Different opinions abound among critics regarding Netflix's drama. While some have criticized it for being superficial, others have commended the actors' flawless acting.

Prominent moments from the performance of Billie as the courageous booker, Gillian as the shrewd but wise host, and Rufus as the dethroned monarch, were acclaimed by critics, who praised the talented ensemble.

However, a few people pointed out that the movie gave the impression of not exposing the actual plot and did not possess the required drive to investigate and sense of unease that the tale calls for.

The film intends to depict the pressure involved in securing the appearance of the Duke of York for the show. In this episode, Maitlis delves into Virginia Giuffre's allegations that Epstein instructed her to have sexual intercourse with Andrew three times while she was still a minor. Andrew has vehemently denied these claims. Additionally, the movie showcases the strained atmosphere among the hosts for the duration of the hour.

After the airing of Newsnight in November 2019, which caused outrage due to the Duke's association with Epstein, he decided to retire from his public duties.

According to critics, the interview was an utter failure as the interviewee's answers were severely scrutinized and criticized for his cold attitude towards the sex offender he befriended, lacking any hint of regret or sympathy. It was so bad that some went as far as calling it a 'car crash'.

During the month of January in the year 2022, Virginia was granted the permission to file a lawsuit against Andrew in a civil court located in New York. The damages that are being pursued in the lawsuit have not been specified.

Even though he had promised to resist the accusations and steadfastly asserted his blamelessness, the prince ultimately consented to paying a considerable amount to resolve the issue before it went to trial. This involved an interview and subsequent filming.

Maitlis has previously worked as an executive producer for a Channel 4 documentary that focused on the interview.

There is another TV show being made about the interview that's causing trouble. It's on Amazon and it's called "A Very Royal Scandal". The actors playing Andrew and Maitlis are Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson.
