Billie PiperBillie Piper is reportedly trying to give up smoking before trying to start a family with husband Laurence Fox.

The couple, who married on New Year’s Eve, are said to want to start their family as soon as possible - but former Doctor Who star Billie is determined to cut out her cigarette habit first rather than waiting until she’s already pregnant.

A source close to the couple said recently: “As you’d expect, they want everything to be perfect for her first pregnancy but she’s smoked for so long that she’s finding it hard going.”

“She’s determined though and is thinks it’ll be worth it in the long run.”

Billie revealed last autumn that she is getting broody and is rumoured to also be considering adopting a child.
