Minnie Driver is eagerly waiting the arrival of her first child, but there's another project keeping her busy in the meantime - her country music career.

The actress turned singer took to the stage at the Arts Theater in London's Leicester Square for a low-key gig to promote her second album, Seastories.

According to People magazine, she told the crowd: "This is for all the pregnant ladies in the house... for anyone else who's knocked up."

The 38-year-old has previously admitted her pregnancy was unplanned and has so far refused to be drawn on the father's identity.

She said: "Craig's not the dad! He's my great friend and he's been so cool about it. I want to shield the baby's dad as much as I can because it wasn't his choice to get roped into all this stuff.

She has hinted that he is English, and "sort of in the same business."
