Billie Piper 'expecting first child'

Saturday 26th April

Former Doctor Who star Billie Piper is three months pregnant with her first baby, according to The Sun.

The news comes after photos of Piper on holiday, sporting an apparently swollen stomach, sparked rumours that she was expecting.

And a source told the paper that Piper - who played Rose Tyler in the show - and actor husband Laurence Fox were "absolutely over the moon".

"They are stunned as they only wed on New Year's Eve but they can't wait to be parents to their little Fox," the source said.

"One reason they wed just a year after meeting was because Billie was already feeling broody."

Family friends told the paper that Piper took a pregnancy test after suffering from dizziness and sickness - and revealed the news to their family before jetting off on holiday.

The 26-year-old is about to start filming a second series of the ITV2 show Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, while Laurence - who comes from a family of actors including dad James, Uncle Edward and cousin Emilia - stars in Lewis on ITV1.
