Billie PiperNine months can be a loooooong old time.

As, it seems, Billie Piper has found out.

She's still out and about, while the birth of her first child is imminent.

Let's face it, she hardly looks to be having the funnest of times.

She seems to be struggling to get herself down the road as she steps out for a stroll in London.Somebody fetch her a chair

Her ankles are swollen, her face looks pained, she even appears to be fighting to catch her breath, poor gal.

... Try not to fret too much, Billie, it'll all be over and done with before you know it, and we guarantee it'll be worth the wait.

It still seems funny to see our Billie as a mum-to-be, there's a small part of us that can't stop thinking of her as a wee pop princess rather than a grown-up mother.

But we bet she'll be great in the new role, and we can't wait to see her and hubby Laurence Fox's bairn when it makes its appearance in the world.
