Kate Winslet's unborn baby is set to become one of the youngest ever people to fly into space.

The 37-year-old actress and husband Ned Rocknroll are expecting their first child together - Kate's third - later this year and Ned's uncle Sir Richard Branson has promised to give the baby a free flight on his Virgin Galactic programme when the child is old enough.

A source told The Sun: ''Richard has told Kate and Ned they can go up any time and the same goes for their new arrival.''

The 'Contagion' star and Ned have already secured a free seat on the first trip into space, which is due to happen on Christmas day this year.

A ticket on the Virgin Galactic flight costs $200,000 and a host of star-gazing celebrities have already purchased seats.
