Call the Midwife's Victoria Yeates wants to adopt a baby.
Victoria Yeates
The 34-year-old actress - who portrays Sister Winifred in the drama - has admitted she'd rather legally take on someone else's child and bring it up as her own than fall pregnant naturally with her own because she hates the thought of kids needing homes.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "I'm not sure about babies. It hasn't really made me broody being around Helen's [George, her co-star] baby. If we do, we might adopt. There are so many kids that need homes. Ever since I was little, I don't know why, my mum said I always wanted to adopt, and I was always worried about children that didn't have anywhere to go. I would have this recurring nightmare, which probably came from watching 'Oliver Twist'. Obviously if I fell pregnant we would keep the baby. But in terms of what we want, maybe that is the right path for us."
But Victoria and her partner Paul Housden are too busy for a child at the moment as they are set to get married in the south of France in a few months' time.
She explained: "It's in the Pyrenees in the south of France.
"Paul is a musician, so there will be loads of musicians there. Hopefully there will be a maximum of 120. All the 'Call the Midwife' girls will definitely be there, so that will be really exciting. I love them all so much, it's going to be really good fun."
And the flame-haired beauty also has her hands full with 'Call the Midwife' as she will appear in the forthcoming fifth instalment, which hits screens on Sunday (21.01.18).
She said: "We tackle Huntingdon's disease.
"I discover a child at school who is very disorientated and has bruises and we think she's suffering from abuse, but it turns out she's got Huntington's chorea."
