Jorgie Porter jokes about becoming a 'lightweight' as she enjoys date night with fiancé after welcoming baby boy

Soap beauty Jorgie Porter has joked about becoming a 'lightweight' as she enjoyed a date night with her fiance Ollie Piotrowski. Last month the loved-up couple shared the joyous news that they had welcomed a baby boy named Forest.

Jorgie, who stars as Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, shared a sweet image of the parents smiling as Ollie carried their son with the words: "Welcome to the family… Our baby boy ... Forest."

The couple announced they were expecting in June in an adorable video on Instagram which showed the star from Eccles, her man and their dog moving their hands - and paw - to unveil the sonogram photo. The happy news came just months after Jorgie tragically suffered a miscarriage with quadruplets at 14 weeks.

The 34-year-old actress Instagrammed a video of her comforting her son in her and Ollie's stunning home, decorated with a Christmas tree adorned with pink and silver decorations. "The baby bubble is real," she gushed.

In awe of her baby boy she typed: "Still pinching myself," she typed. "Can you believe he’s actually here?!" The new mum has now shared an insight into her date with Ollie, including a picture of herself captioned: "One cocktail and I'm done." And she jokingly added: "Officially a lightweight."

The star looked super-glam in a black polo neck top and fluttery lashes. With a video of herself giving the thumbs-up she wrote: "A mamas gotta pump! So far so good." And she added with a laughing emoji: "If you know you know."

Jorgie also shared a collection of smitten snaps of herself and Ollie sharing kisses in a photo booth. She followed the glimpses of their night out with a gorgeous photo of herself with Forest sleeping on her chest and the words: "Back in my happy place."

"I keep looking at him thinking 'I can’t believe you’re here'," Jorgie said in her first interview since her son's arrival with Hello! magazine. Property developer Ollie, 34, who is also a father to eight-year-old son Alfie, said Jorgie "took the lead" on their baby’s name.

He said: "We got down to two or three options, but we didn’t want him to have a similar name to anyone else in his class at school so we decided Forest was the one. I love the name."

Jorgie shared her pregnancy journey with fans. In October during an appearance on Loose Women the couple explained that they were taking each day as it comes after their miscarriage heartbreak.

Speaking to hosts Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street Porter and Dame Kelly Holmes, Coleen asked how the pregnancy had been so far, and Jorgie explained: “In the beginning it was quite hard. It was a bit stressful, a bit worrying.

"But we kind of had to get over that bit and go 'do you know what? We need to enjoy this and start thinking about everything day by day. We’ve got to enjoy the journey.'”

Ollie added: “We both openly said it, it was super scary. It’s hard in general at the best of times but it was extra hard taking each day as it comes and just going with the flow.”
