It's good to know that there's always a ginger woman with a wayward accent who hasn't been famous this millennium willing to step up with a good old-fashioned scandal. Gillian Anderson is pregnant with the baby of someone who isn't her husband.
Well, OK, so Gillian Anderson and her husband split up months ago – and Gillian's long since run off with a wheel clamper who's possibly had it off with Geri Halliwell – but it's still a bit of a scandal, isn't it? Look, squint a bit and imagine that a) Gillian Anderson is still happily married, and b) Gillian Anderson is still vaguely famous, and things get a little tiny bit scandal-y, don't you think?
There was a period of about three weeks a decade ago when Gillian Anderson was something of a sex symbol, thanks to her starring role in hokey sci-fi TV show The X-Files. But if Gillian Anderson was as good at keeping it in her goddamn pants as she was at making heavy breathing noises on dismal techno singles about being mildly sceptical about aliens and that, she certainly wouldn't be in the predicament she is now – Gillian Anderson is pregnant.
There's nothing new about that; women get pregnant all the time – just look at Britney Spears, who has probably fallen pregnant eight or nine times this week alone – but Gillian Anderson has only just split up with her husband of 16 months Julian Ozanne. Anderson's manager Connie Freiberg released a statement saying:
"She is happy to announce that she is expecting her second child, due at the end of the year, with businessman Mark Griffiths."
Mark Griffiths is a man developing something of a string of romantic encounters with ginger girls who used to be a lot more famous than they are now. As well as inseminating Gillian Anderson, Griffiths – who owns a car-clamping firm – was also linked to former Spice Girl and bewildering name-chooser Geri Halliwell. The baby will be the first sibling for Piper – Gillian Anderson's daughter from her first marriage – who would probably be thankful for the restraining help when Gillian gets all drunk and aggressive on an aeroplane again.
