Bump ahead! Blooming Helena Bonham Carter gets ready for baby

There was only one thing bigger and more eye catching than Helena Bonham Carter's towering nest of wild hair - her enormous baby bump.

The eccentric actress showed off her burgeoning belly as she happily signed autographs for fans while arriving at a London hotel yesterday.

Oscar-nominated Helena, who is expecting her second child next month with film director Tim Burton, seemed to also be in awe of her recently expanded waistline.

She stepped out in a black sundress, long denim trench and lace up black boots - the exact kind of quirky ensemble one would expect for a woman who describes herself the 'Antichrist of Fashion'.

Helena and Tim, who already have a three-year-old son Billy-Ray, are said to be "very happy" about the addition to their family.

The pair met on the set of 2001's The Planet of the Apes, and have since worked together on four films including Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Their other shared project - aside from their baby - is the recently released musical thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which also stars Johnny Depp.
