Bratt, who also has a two-year-old son, called Mateo, insists Sophia is overcoming her disability, adding, "Sophia has blown us away with the amount of progress she's made. She understands everything and she's quick to laugh, she's loving and a physically beautiful child.

Law + Order star Chris Noth has denied there are any plans to bring the hit crime show to the big screen - insisting the programme doesn't need any more incarnations.

The actor was a member of Law + Order's original cast between 1990 and 1995 and returned to the franchise in 2005, reprising his character for spin off show Criminal Intent.

The show, which has become the longest running primetime drama in America, now has two successful sub-series - Criminal Intent and Special Victims Unit, with plans for a British branch of the franchise - Law + Order: London - well underway.

And Noth insists that with so many different variations of the show currently showing on TV, there is no need to make a movie as well.

He says, "The problem with Law and Order is that it's on three times a day, six days a week. There are three different shows. I can barely watch it and I'm on it."
