Helen Flanagan has declared that she wants to be pregnant with boyfriend Scott Sinclair's child by Christmas.
The former Coronation Street star - who was [uuid=08189608-98b1-4db5-94df-bb5cf104789b]last week voted the UK's sexiest woman[/uuid] by FHM readers - told The Mirror that she can't wait to become a mum.
She said: "I've always been really broody. We're thinking Christmas time – we've talked about it and everything. We don't know what will happen with his football or my career, so we'll see how things go."
But she said she's not in a hurry to tie the knot with anyone, adding: "I'm not too bothered about marriage."
The paper has also reported that H-Flan has flown off to Greece for a girls' holiday, while BF Scott heads into hospital for an operation.
But she dismissed speculation about her relationship status.
"Me and my boyfriend have quite a passionate relationship,” she explained. "My friends always laugh at us, but I think it's because we love each other so much.
"We're very different people – he's one of the fastest footballers in the country and I can't even get up the stairs because I smoke so much.
"In a relationship you have difficulties. Just because we're in the limelight, it doesn't make it any different.
"We get it all the time, 'have you split?' No, we're still together. 'Have you split now?' No, we're still together.
"I've been really independent ever since I met Scott."
