The actress – who is rumoured to be expecting her first child with second spouse Laurence Fox – has told friends she wants British radio DJ Chris Evans to play an important role in their child’s life.

She told them: “If I ever have a child, I want Chris to be part of the family. He would make a great godfather.”

Sources say Billie – who was pictured patting her expanding stomach while holidaying last week – is thrilled to be pregnant as she is keen to have a big family.

One said: “Her dream is her, Laurence and a big brood of kids running around.”

Billie’s agent, Michael Foster, said: “I don’t know whether Billie is pregnant, or whether Chris would be the godfather. I just don’t know. I can’t confirm anything.”

Billie, 25, married Chris, 42, in 2001 in Las Vegas after a whirlwind romance. However, they split in late 2004 but both insisted the break-up was amicable and the pair have remained good friends.
