Jorgie Porter has opened up on her romantic engagement which she says was a 'silver lining' after a heartbreaking time.
The Hollyoaks star revealed she was engaged to Oliver Piotrowski at the start of December.
The proposal came three weeks before Christmas while staying at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perth and Kinross.
Jorgie announced the news on Instagram, sharing a selfie with her new fiance and showing off her glistening engagement ring, captioning it: "OMG."

The pair have been dating since 2020 and went Instagram official in October the same year.
And now the actress has revealed details from the moment Oliver popped the question.
She said she was sent on a treasure hunt of 12 photo clues documenting their love story, each captioned with a handwritten memory and a final clue that led her to a lakeside chalet.
Despite a Haribo ring stuck to one of the pictures, Porter insists "that it was leading to a proposal never once entered my head".
Speaking to Hello! magazine, she said: "Suddenly Ollie was on one knee clutching an open box. I couldn’t believe what was happening.
"I started crying and so did Ollie.
"He was so emotional he couldn’t get his words out, so we hugged, he put the ring on my finger and then he asked me to marry him.
"Of course, I said yes!"
Jorgie also said the proposal was the "silver lining" of 2021 after she suffered a miscarriage last summer to quadruplets, finding out at her 14-week scan.
"The day we found out, we lost four pieces of our hearts," the former Dancing On Ice star told the magazine.
"Realising we were expecting four was the biggest surprise and although it took a little while to get our heads around we were so excited about becoming parents.
"We knew the risks of a multiple pregnancy but it was impossible not to look forward and plan the future. I had imagined myself being a mum of four and I loved the idea.
"I hope that simply by speaking about the miscarriage I can help other women going through the same thing and perhaps that will be of some comfort, to realise they’re not alone,”"she added.
Jorgie returned to Hollyoaks in 2020 as part of a storyline to mark the soap’s 25th birthday.
But as well as her acting work, she's now busy wedding planning.
She said she fantasises about a Greek or Italian wedding with a New Year’s Eve ceremony based in the UK.
"We could take residency at Gleneagles," she added.
