Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter is toasting to "hopeful beginnings" as she announced she is pregnant with her first child after miscarrying quadruplets.
The Theresa McQueen actress, 34, shared the incredible news on her Instagram today, with a heartwarming TikTok video.
She was pregnant with quadruplets last year, but sadly miscarried at 14 weeks in November 2021.
However the mum-to-be is excited for the future as she told her fans there is a baby on the way.
She posted a snap of the baby scan on her social media, revealing she and fiance Ollie Piotrowski are thrilled to become new parents.
"Hopeful beginnings…" she captioned the post.
Jorgie's co-stars were quick to congratulate her on the amazing news.
Chelsee Healey wrote: "Crying," with a line of emotional emojis and hearts.
Presenter Ashley James added: "Ahhhh I'm so so happy for you my love."
While the couple were shocked and saddened by the loss of their four children last year, Jorgie said she and Ollie were staying optimistic on welcoming children together in the future.
She told Closer: "Losing the quads was so sad and painful but it absolutely cemented the feeling that I want to be a mum. There’s no news to share as yet but let’s just say we’re trying – a lot!"
In February, the actress went on to explain that she was taking extra steps to help her fall pregnant.
She revealed: "I’m taking fertility supplements, including folic acid, cutting down on alcohol and I’m mindful about not getting too stressed. I keep thinking, ‘I’ve been pregnant before, so it’s possible I’ll fall pregnant again’."
Speaking to Fabulous magazine last year, Jorgie also explained that she hadn't planned on becoming a mother until she met Ollie.
She said: "Ollie said he could see himself having children with me, and it was a big moment, because I felt like I absolutely wanted children with him, too.
"I remember driving to work thinking, 'I want to come off the Pill'. I'd been dating him for less than a year, but I knew I wanted him to father my kids."
The couple are now planning to get married in 2023 after Ollie staged an extravagant proposal in Scotland at the end of 2021.
