Billie Piper and Stacey Solomon are both pregnant!

A great big congratulations to two of our favourite TV ladies – both Billie Piper and Stacey Solomon are pregnant, and both are expecting their second child.

Billie, who is married to hot actor Laurence Fox, is 15 weeks pregnant. The actress had feared that she’d have to leave the theatre production she is currently working on, but she will be able to continue with the show through her pregnancy.

The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl actress is due to star in Reasons To Be Pretty at the Almedia theatre, and artistic director Michael Attenborough has revealed to The Mail that Billie thought her pregnancy would end her involvement in the play.

“She was upset and told me she was pregnant. She very generously offered to withdraw from the show,” reports Atteborough.“However, she was the first choice for the part — and fortunately the character is pregnant — so with a bit of judicious re-writing we’re all delighted she’ll be with us. I told her that I’d love her to do it and she just wept on my shoulder. She thought that was it. She was thrilled.”

We bet Billie and Laurence’s three-year-old son can’t wait to be a big brother.
Stacey’s pregnant, too

And let’s not forget about X Factor and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star Stacey Solomon. The 22-year-old Iceland adverts star is also expecting her second baby – her first with boyfriend Aaron Barham.

Stacey – who is already mum to her adorable three-year-old Zac – has said of the happy news in an interview, “We are really excited. And I'm really looking forward to everything, knowing I am sharing it with the person I want to spend my life with. Everything is different this time. I feel a lot more experienced and ready.”

'Billie Piper lesbian scenes in Love Life not sexual'

Kaya Scodelario has insisted that there is nothing provocative about her role in Love Life.

The Wuthering Heights star will play Karen, the love interest of teacher Holly (Billie Piper) in the semi-improvised BBC serial.

"[Each episode is] half an hour long, for five nights on the BBC," the actress told Digital Spy. "It's [about] different situations of love [and] that's why I wanted to do it."

She continued: "It's very hard to get two female actors, put them together in a... relationship and not make it about sex."[This story] was more about the connection that they share as women [and] the points that they're at in their lives."

Scodelario also admitted that she had been a fan of Billie Piper's music as a child.

"The first album that I ever bought was hers," she revealed. "But I didn't tell her that, because I thought it might put her off a little bit!"

Love Life - which also stars David Tennant, Jane Horrocks, Ashley Walters, David Morrissey, Vicky McClure and Lacey Turner - explores five overlapping love stories set in the same town.

Doctor Who alum Billie Piper expecting baby no. 2

Billie Piper's first child will soon have a new companion. The former Doctor Who star is pregnant again, the Daily Mail reports.

This will be the second child for Piper, 29, and her husband, actor Laurence Fox. They also have a 3-year-old son, Winston. She is 15 weeks pregnant.

Is Matt Smith leaving Doctor Who?

The joyful news initially made Piper emotional because she thought she'd have to withdraw from starring in Neil LaBute's upcoming play Reasons to Be Pretty at the Almeida Theatre in London. Previews were scheduled for Nov. 10 with the first official night on Nov. 17.Carly, the character Piper is playing, is supposed to be pregnant, although it's not something we're supposed to be aware of early on in the play. LaBute rewrote the play in order to make it apparent that Carly is clearly expecting.

Besides playing former Doctor Who companion Rose Tyler, Piper is also known for playing Hannah in Secret Diary of a Callgirl.

Baby No. 2 on way for Billie Piper

Actress Billie Piper is expecting her second child — and a play she’s about to star in has been judiciously rewritten to accommodate her pregnancy.

Billie, who is married to actor Laurence Fox, is 15 weeks pregnant. She is due to perform the first preview of Neil LaBute’s play Reasons To Be Pretty at the Almeida Theatre on November 10, with an official first night on November 17.

Michael Attenborough, the Almeida’s artistic chief, who is also directing the production, said the actress was visibly distressed after the first night of My City — the Almeida’s current production.

‘She was upset and told me she was pregnant,’ Attenborough said.

He added she ‘very generously offered to withdraw’ from the show.‘However, she was Neil LaBute’s and my first choice for the part — and fortunately the character is pregnant — so with a bit of judicious re-writing we’re all delighted she’ll be with us.

‘I told her that I’d love her to do it and she just wept on my shoulder,’ Attenborough told me. ‘She thought that was it. She was thrilled.’

When I saw the play performed in New York, it’s not immediately apparent that Carly, the character Billie will play, is pregnant — though you are made aware of it later. Now that LaBute has re-jigged his text, it will become very clear that Carly is expecting, which is good because by the end of the run in January, the one-time Doctor Who star will be more than six months pregnant.

It’s not unheard of for actresses to continue performing on stage when they are expecting — witness Amanda Holden in the musical Shrek recently — but it’s rare that a playwright, particularly one as renowned as LaBute, would amend a published script.

The playwright attended rehearsals and was impressed by Billie’s acting, as he was with her fellow cast members Sian Brooke, Kieran Bew and Tom Burke.

Billie and husband Laurence already have a son, Winston, who is three. She has not missed any rehearsals — and even managed to fit in a scan two weeks ago around her Almeida schedule. Reasons To Be Pretty is about the notion of beauty and how it has the power to bring joy or to destroy.

Billie’s role is that of a security guard whose partner has a bit of a wandering eye, though I’m not now sure if being a guard will still be the character’s profession.

The play is part of the Almeida’s new season. Following the LaBute drama will be The House Of Bernarda Alba with Shohreh Aghdashloo and Sarah Solemani — who stars with Russell Tovey in BBC3’s comedy success Him & Her.

Samantha Spiro follows that with Filumena, and later next year Jonathan Pryce will give us his King Lear, directed by Attenborough.

Billie Piper is pregnant

Billie Piper is pregnant with her second child.

The 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl' actress and her husband Laurence Fox already have a three-year-old son, Winston, together and the couple will welcome their arrival next year.

However, Billie - who is 15 weeks along - was worried the pregnancy would her affect her role in new London play 'Reasons To Be Pretty' and offered to withdraw before its first official night on November 17.

However, the show's director, Michael Attenborough and writer Neil LaBute wanted her to continue.

Michael told the Daily Mail newspaper: "She was upset and told me she was pregnant. She very generously offered to withdraw from the show. "However, she was Neil LaBute's and my first choice for the part - and fortunately the character is pregnant - so with a bit of judicious re-writing we're all delighted she'll be with us.

"I told her that I'd love her to do it and she just wept on my shoulder. She thought that was it. She was thrilled."

Billie, 29, has previously said she would like to have another child although was in no hurry.

The former 'Doctor Who' star said: "I am one of four and I always thought I would have a big family. Who knows what will happen? It's funny because when you get engaged, everyone asks when you are marrying.

"Then when you have a child, they ask when you are going to have a second one. We will just have to wait and see."

Billie Piper Expecting Second Child With Laurence Fox

Billie Piper joins the latest throng of celebrities expecting children after revealing that she and husband Laurence Fox are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second child.

Other pregnancies announced this week include Bruce Willis' wife Emma Hemming and former 'X Factor UK' contestant Stacey Solomon, while allegedly Jessica Simpson is expecting too - though the star won't confirm until she allegedly receives a rumoured $500,000 for the announcement. Piper's though has come fraught with conflict, as the star is set to be appearing in Neil Labute's play 'Reasons To Be Pretty' at the Almeida Theatre in London - with the preview taking place on November 10th 2011 and the official run beginning a week later on the 17th. Thankfully for the 'Diary Of A Call Girl' star, scriptwriters have altered her character so that she's pregnant. The UK's Daily Mail reports that she spoke with Almeida's artistic chief Michael Attenborough and offered to withdraw from the show, "She was upset and told me she was pregnant," said Attenborough, going on to add "She was Neil LaBute's and my first choice for the part - and fortunately the character is pregnant - so with a bit of judicious re-writing we're all delighted she'll be with us."

"I told her that I'd love her to do it and she just wept on my shoulder. She thought that was it. She was thrilled."
