DOCTOR WHO - PIPER DESPERATE TO HAVE KIDS

Former DOCTOR WHO actress BILLIE PIPER is desperate to have children. The 25-year-old British star, who is engaged to fellow actor Laurence Fox, insists she's keen to give birth - despite vowing to refrain from having a child several years ago. She says, "I haven't always been broody because I've two sisters and a brother, they're a lot younger than me and I took care of them a lot. "But back then I thought, 'I can't imagine having a child'. Now I really can. I can feel it, it's strange." But Piper is concerned about whether she and Fox will find the time to procreate. She adds, "The hardest thing about being actors is that it's not just an eight-hour day, it's your life for however long you're shooting. I don't know that you can both do it all the time or you'd never see each other." Piper and Fox are to wed later this year (07), according to reports.
