Billie PiperNew details have emerged about first-time mum Billie Piper.

She's apparently set to stay in hospital for a while following the birth of baby Winston James...

Since his arrival into the world was far from straight-forward.

Billie's husband, Laurence Fox, has said Billie is expected to recover in hospital for another five days to a week, following a complicated labour.

He's revealed that Billie was in labour for more than 24 gruelling hours before she had an emergency Casaerean.

Appearing outside London's Portland hospital, where Billie and her baby are currently being cared for, Laurence told Daily Mail reporters:Laurence Fox

"It was an emergency Caesarean. I'm tired but not as tired as her (Billie), no doubt. It was long and hard. She was in labour for more than 24 hours."

Phewee. Doesn't sound like much fun to us, but we're sure it's all worth it now that happy mum Billie has Winston to hold.

News that the 26-year-old had given birth to her first child broke earlier this week, with Laurence announcing that he felt "fantastic" at the arrival of his "beautiful" son.

He also said he didn't know whether baby Winston had been named in honour of Winston Churchill.
