Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter gives birth to first child and shares stunning name

Jorgie Porter has given birth to her first child and has announced her joyful baby news in a sweet Instagram post.

The former Hollyoaks actress, 34, took to social media on Wednesday to reveal her happy baby news as she shared a sweet picture of herself and Ollie leaving hospital with their son.

Alongside the sweet snap, the new mum penned: "Welcome to the family…. Our baby boy .. Forest."

The actress looked overjoyed as she headed home out of the hospital while wearing a comfortable attire consisting of a hoodie, a tracksuit, and some cosy slippers.

Jorgie announced her pregnancy at the start of June, sharing the news with fans in an adorable video.

In the clip, Oliver, Jorgie, Oliver's son from a previous relationship and their dog took it in turns to remove their hands — and paws — to uncover the baby scan underneath.

She captioned the post: "Hopeful beginnings …"

It comes over a year after she lost quadruplets at 14 weeks in a tragic miscarriage.

While the couple were 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!"

Back 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’."
