‘Can’t believe it!’ Pregnant Jorgie Porter issues major baby update
Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter emotionally revealed the sex of her baby.
The actress, best known for her role as Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, confirmed her pregnancy during the final episode of ITVBe’s Drama Queens.
The soap star – who already shares son Forest with property developer fiance, Ollie Piotrowski – has been keeping her followers up to date with her journey, and shared some bts snaps of her gender reveal party.
In a string of photos from her gender reveal party, Jorgie was seen holding a balloon that reads ‘boy or girl?’ before cutting into a cake to reveal its pink filling.
She captioned the wholesome post: ‘Thank you soooo much for all your messages! We still can’t believe it. We’re having a GIRL.’
Fellow celebrities expressed their excitement for the star, with former CoronationStreet actress Helen Flanagan writing: ‘So happy for you darling 🩷 be a pretty girl like her mama x.’
Hollyoaks actress Nikki Sanderson added: ‘Aww congratulations.’
Their baby’s birth followed a tragedy when Jorgie and her partner Oliver Piotrowski lost their quadruplets at 14 weeks in 2021.
During an episode of Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Jorgie discussed becoming pregnant with quadruplets and the emotional ordeal she went through after being told the embryos had stopped developing.
‘We obviously thought, this is a huge risk. There’s all these complications and all these scary moments of what could happen’, she explained.
‘I don’t remember them [the doctors and nurses] talking much about quads, because they’d never come across this! I don’t think they had much to say to us about it but we’d obviously Google stuff, and you just see the most extreme things.
‘You can lose one, you can lose two, and then they spoke about terminating one and terminating two and I thought, I am not going to take one away from a pack.’
‘It was about three or four months later on in the scans, they were like, “now they’ve not developed any further, we’re going to have to get rid of them, take them out.’
