Denise Van Outen and Billie PiperDenise Van Outen and Billie PiperWish that those showbiz types could just live in harmony?

Dream on.

The latest war of words has come via Denise Van Outen.

She got her knick-knocks in a twist after reading what Billie Piper had written about their theatre school, Sylvia Young.

Bill said in her autobiography, Growing Pains, that staff at the school had put pressure on her to be "lighter, smaller and thinner".

But Den's having none of it.

She said: "I was a big Billie Piper fan, but in her book she was very negative about Sylvia and the school and I think that is wrong and unfair.

"If it was not for Sylvia, she would not be where she is. And she really wouldn't be where she is because she got all her breaks during her schooling years."

Yikes - take cover, it looks like a battle might be about to break out.

But whose side are we better off being on?
