The pregnant actress is expecting a baby with Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, who was born in Cambridge, England, and she admits her love of the UK extends to her diet, especially the sweet baked breads.

She said: "I love scones, with clotted cream and jam. I can`t not eat them!"

The `Nine` star also can`t resist a traditional British breakfast - which usually consists of bacon, sausage, egg, tomatoes, baked beans and toast - but she won`t eat the beans because she doesn`t like having gas the next day.

She added to the Metro newspaper: "I love a British breakfast but without the beans. It`s about what they do to your digestive system."

Kate - who already has a seven-year-old son Ryder with her ex-husband, Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson - was even looking to buy an apartment in London before she started romancing Matt, who she is now engaged to, because she loves Britain so much.

She said: "Before I met Matt, I was going to get a place over in the UK. I shot `Nine` in London. I`ve shot twice here and have a whole life with lots of girlfriends. I was constantly online looking at properties and then, lo and behold, I meet my man, my baby`s daddy."
