Mariska Hargitay has revealed that she may leave Law & Order: SVU so that she can spend more time with her family.

The Emmy-winning actress told Ladies Home Journal that she and her husband Peter Hermann are trying for a second child, having given birth to her son, August, in 2006.

"I just want to see my kid," Hargitay said. The actress has been on the TV programme for nearly a decade, having joined the cast in 1999 as Detectve Olivia Benson.

The role saw her becoming the highest paid woman in a US TV drama this year, pocketing $400,000 (£204,000) per episode.
