What's on TV
Torchwood star Eve Myles has announced that she is expecting her first child.
The 31-year-old Welsh actress decided to try for a baby after filming a new five-part special of the Doctor Who spin-off, Children of the Earth, which airs on BBC1 later this year.
"I've wanted to do this for such a long time, but I kept getting job after job after job," said Eve, who plays former police officer Gwen Cooper in the cult series.
"I thought, if I put this off any more I'm going to be 65. My partner and I decided this year was going to be the year, and we were blessed that it happened so quickly.
"It's the best thing that ever happened to me – we're over the moon."
Eve, who is three and a half months' pregnant, joked about the fact that her character Gwen gave birth in series two – to an alien.
"We went for a scan and my mum was there," she recalled. "And my mum went: 'No, it's not a Nostrovite! It's a real Welsh human!' But of course it crosses my mind – I hope it's not an alien!"
Eve added that motherhood will not make her quit her role in Torchwood.
"I hope we get a new series," she said. "I'd really like to play Gwen as a mother. It's not like I have to really save the world – I just have to sit in make-up!"
