Pregnant Jorgie Porter excited to welcome 'more love' into her life when baby arrives

Pregnant Jorgie Porter ensured that she turned heads at the Pride of Britain Awards as she stormed the red carpet in a dazzling gown which perfectly complimented her blossoming baby bump.

The soap star, 34, oozed radiance as she posed for the cameras on the red carpet while cradling her growing bump.

The actress, who is expecting her first child with her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski, dazzled in a beautiful silver and white sequin gown and revealed all about her recent baby shower.

Speaking exclusively the Mirror on the red carpet, the expectant mum revealed how she had brought eyelash glue with her to the event, anticipating she will shed a few tears during the emotional awards.

Sharing her excitement about the night ahead, the actress told The Mirror: "Obviously I'm in a state where I'm probably going to cry my eyes out so is this a good idea or not? I'm just going to be waiting for all the makeup to come off.

"I brought glue with me because I know my lashes will fall off. But I'm ready to cry because it's one of those nights isn't it?"

Jorgie, who is due to give birth in December, also opened up about her recent baby shower, revealing that the generosity of her loved-ones made her emotional on the special day.

"It kind of wasn't a surprise - I kind of sussed it out a bit. When your friends start talking to you more or don't talk to you then you know something's up. It was absolutely gorgeous, I'm overwhelmed to be honest," she told.

"And all the things of the prams and stuff I was like - it's happening."

"It was amazing, they all surprised me so it was brilliant. I think just seeing everyone there and thinking, 'do you know what, when this baby comes you're all keen to be there, so that's great,'" she said as she gave out a giggle.

The Hollyoaks star, who announced her pregnancy back in June said that she's over the moon to be expecting her first child this December.

The excited mum-to-be added: "I think I'm just excited to have another generation of... I was saying to Ollie – we both say – we just love each other so much, we just want more love and more family. So, I think that's what it is really – just more love."

Jorgie recently told Hello! magazine that having a 'healthy baby was a dream come true' as she spoke of her heartbreak after a number of miscarriages.

The soap star told the magazine: “We’re thrilled to reveal that we’re expecting a baby boy. Ollie and I didn’t mind either way, of course. All we wanted was a baby,” she added.

“He’s certainly very active, and I can feel him doing somersaults and backflips. It’s incredible to think what we’ve created.”

The Pride of Britain awards returned for yet another year to celebrate the nation's everyday heroes and their bravery.

The annual awards, which have taken place since 1999 in association with The Prince’s Trust, is considered one of the most heart-warming and emotional nights of the year.
