Hollyoaks beauty Jorgie Porter has been sharing her journey as a first-time mum with her newborn son Forest, and she dazzled as she returned to work saying "wish me luck." The star, who plays Theresa McQueen in the Channel Four soap, didn't say what she was working on but shared a short video clip on Instagram of herself walking through Manchester city centre with a film crew.
The 35-year-old actress captioned the clip: "Work work work" and exclaimed: "I'm back ..." and she added with a nervous emoji: "Wish me luck!" Jorgie looked sensational, smiling as she walked along in the sunshine in a black puffer jacket, with her blonde hair worn in waves. She added fluttery lashes and a glossy pink lip colour for a glam look.
Jorgie, who welcomed her baby boy with her fiance Oliver Piotrowski in November, later shared more details as she revealed Forest had joined her on her first project after giving birth, and said he had been a "dream." "So I’ve been a little quieter this week because I’m back at it," she wrote with snaps of her breasfeeding her son in a store during an "emergency pit stop feed" as a "working mama."

"First project since the little man made his arrival. Not gunna lie, I was a little worried before I started this, wondering if this was the right time, but honestly I’ve loved it!
"Lucky enough to be able to bring Forest along for the ride (with help obvs ) and he’s been a dreammmmmmm. Now for an emergency pit stop feed before we head home #firsttimemum #workingmama."
Jorgie has been updating her followers with her down-to-earth accounts. She recently exclaimed triumphantly: "Yesterday I survived a solo shopping trip with Forest by myself!!!"
She added "I think I need to start celebrating the little wins, so felt this moment needed a place on the grid. It may not sound a lot to most (although mums I’m sure you get me) but seriously leaving the house is a military operation. It’s like you’re leaving to go on holiday for 2 weeks or is that just me. Change bag, nappies, wipes, cream, change of clothes, more nappies more wipes… you get the jist."
Earlier this month she appealed for suggestions as she asked a pressing question as the parent of a newborn. She cried "Help!" and asked "No poop since Saturday? Any suggestions to get things moving."
Last month she shared from her date night with her fiance and their son at Manchester's swanky The Ivy restaurant, but Jorgie posted a very different look from a shopping trip with Forest a couple of days later. The former I'm a Celebrity star provided a "dose" of reality on her Instagram - a picture of the new mum with her "hangry" baby after a "poonami explosion" that ended up all over her.
She joked as she Instagrammed a snap of herself looking up from a chair as she fed baby Forest, with most of the mess covered over with a poo emoji. "Thinking my page was looking a little too perfect so here’s a bit of insta reality," she said with a laughing emoji.
"This is me praying to the gods for a way to get out of the toilet cubicle in one piece!" she said. "Hangry hangry baby and a poonami explosion all over me, yes all over me!"
She added: "I had to call for reinforcements or I would still be sat there now." And she pleaded: "Parents tell me this has happened to you too??" And Jorgie received a raft of supportive messages and praise for speaking out.
