LONDON, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- British pop singer and television actress Billie Piper has given birth to a son, her husband, actor Laurence Fox told reporters outside a London hospital.

The BBC said Winston James Fox was born Tuesday via an emergency Caesarean section at the Portland Hospital.

Piper is best known for her roles in "Doctor Who" and "Secret Diary of a Call Girl." Fox has appeared in the films "Gosford Park," "Becoming Jane" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."

The couple married last December.

The actress' husband said she was in labor for 26 hours before heading to the hospital.

"The emergency Caesarean only took about 20 minutes," the BBC quoted him as saying. "Billie is happy. Of course she is, she's a mum. I am tired but not as tired as her -- I am a proud father."

Fox described his new son as "beautiful" and "sweet," and showed the gathered press pictures of the baby on his cell phone, the BBC said.
