Katherine Heigl eager to be a mum

London, Feb 07 : American actress Katherine Heigl just can't wait to start a family of her own.

Heigl, who just got married less than two months ago to musician hubby Josh Kelley, is eager to have kids and lots of them.

"I can't wait to have kids. I want lots and I want to start soon, hopefully within the next year or so," the Sun quoted her as saying.

When she does get her wish, she will be joining Emma Bunton, Christina Aguilera and Angelina Jolie in the fight to be named the 'yummiest mummy' in tinsel town.
