Keeley Hawes, the star of Spooks, Tipping the Velvet and, in posh voiceover only, the Lara Croft computer games, is full of surprises. When we meet for breakfast, she starts telling me how she was up at 4am to feed her son. As I have read about only the one son, Myles, I conjure up a Little Britain-style picture of the six-year-old guzzling greedily at her breast.
Tall and, so far as I can tell beneath her grey top, slim, with clear green eyes, impeccable skin and blonde hair darkening fashionably at the roots, Hawes certainly doesn’t look like a harassed new mum. Yet, it transpires, in September she gave birth to a whopping new baby by the name of Ralph.
