Homeland star Claire Danes wants to be a "yummy mummy" as she doesn't want her to sacrifice her style now she is a mother to newborn son Cyrus.

The Homeland actress and husband Hugh Dancy welcomed their first child, son Cyrus, into the world earlier last week and Claire is determined her style won't suffer now she's a mother.

She said: "I can't begin to imagine what kind of mother I want to be. How could I answer that? I want to be a putrid mother who does not listen to her child and puts her own needs before theirs?

“I would want my child to feel safe and loved and held. Do I want to be yummy mummy? Well, I certainly don't want to be a repulsive mummy. I want to be yummy to the people who I have an interest in finding me yummy, sure."

While she is enjoying being a new mother, Claire will go back to work as acting has always played such a huge role in her life.

The hit TV series, Homeland, in which she plays the impulsive Carrie Mathison, came to the end of season 2 last night, in the UK.
