Actress Anna Friel has said that she is keen to expand her family. The Pushing Daisies actress has been dating the Welsh actor for nine months and "really" wants to expand her family further. Friel has a six-year-old daughter Gracie with former partner David Thewlis.

Speaking to Marie Claire magazine she said: "I really want more children. Gracie is my little mate as well as my daughter. And she's so caring and loving. I always tell her, 'You're my angel from heaven." Asked what is important to her she said: "being a mummy and I'm a good one."

However, Anna, 35, is unsure whether she will find it easy to conceive as she was warned before having Gracie she may have difficulties getting pregnant.

Friel explained: "It was a total surprise, doctors had said it would be difficult to get pregnant because I had endometriosis. Whether that will happen as easily again, I don't know. Things could be different now I'm older."
