Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter announces pregnancy after tragic loss

Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has announced she is pregnant after miscarrying quadruplets in August of last year.

The 34-year-old found out she had miscarried her babies until she went for a routine scan.

Doctors told her the odds of her pregnancy were one in 700,000. Because her pregnancy was high risk, Jorgie was invited for regular scans at the hospital.
