"It's a lovely Christmas present for the family."

Bonham Carter, 41, received a Golden Globe nomination last week for her role as a ghoulish baker in Burton's musical adaptation "Sweeney Todd," which opens in limited release on Friday. Burton, 49, was also nominated.

She revealed in the latest issue of Playboy that she became pregnant midway during the production, causing continuity problems since the film was not shot in sequence.

"I start off with huge breasts, and then I walk upstairs and suddenly I've got tangerines again," she said. "It's melons to tangerines."

The couple's relationship is less then conventional. They live in separate homes in North London - connected by a secret adjoining corridor.

Baby joy: it is the second child for Helena and Tim Burton, who also have a four-year-old son
