Emmy-winning actress Christina Applegate has revealed she wants “a couple” of babies in the near future.

The 38-year-old star announced a year-and-a-half ago that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer but now she said she is looking to the future.

She told In Touch: “You look at life a little bit differently. You don’t let any stress into your life, and you do a total 180 from where you were.”

Talking about the future, she added: “I want to work with Meryl Streep, I want to go to Greece, and I may want to jump out of a plane. And babies, lots of babies. Well, not lots of babies, but a couple!”
