Chris Evans: My Wife and Billie were competing to get pregnant

Chris Evans has revealed that wife Natasha Shishmanian and his ex-missus Billie Piper had a race to see who could get pregnant first.

The DJ and actress have remained close since their break-up and the couples often go out together. But Chris says he lost the challenge because he's not as young as Billie's new husband Laurence Fox.

'You know they had a baby race, to see who could get in the family way first,' he tells the Daily Star Sunday. 'I've never talked about this before but it's true. 'And Billie thrashed us. It wasn't so much that Billie thrashed us or Tash, it was the fact that Laurence her husband thrashed me.'

Billie, 26, who married Laurence, 30, last year, is due to give birth next month. Chris, 42, and Natasha, 28, are also expecting their baby in the New Year.
