TV stars Billie Piper and Laurence Fox are planning to adopt a baby.

Billie, 25, and Laurence, 29, are keen to have a large family. And the couple, who wed in a secret New Year’s Eve ceremony, have told select family and friends they may adopt their first child and give a home to a needy baby.

A close source said: “Billie is one of four children and Laurence has a huge extended family. Her dream is her, Laurence and a big brood of kids running around barefoot in their Sussex home with chickens. One of the reasons she and Laurence married just a few months after meeting was because Billie was already feeling broody and she wanted to be in wedlock when she started a family.”

Doctor Who and Diary of a Call Girl star Billie eloped to Las Vegas without telling her parents to wed first husband Chris Evans in 2001. But the source added: “Billie really sees the value in family much more than she did before. Her home is a constant flurry of visitors and phone calls, and that’s just how she likes it. She can’t wait to have her own kids to add to the equation.”

Billie said last year: “I’m terribly broody. I haven’t always been. Back then I thought, I can’t imagine having a child, and only now I really can.”
