Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has been sharing her journey with fans after announcing the joyous news that she's pregnant with her first child with fiance Ollie Piotrowski. The 34-year-old actress and former I'm A Celebrity star from Eccles is excited to be expecting a baby boy, and she sent fans into a frenzy with a teasing post.
In June, Jorgie, 34, moved her castmates to tears with the news that she was pregnant. The star, who has played Theresa McQueen in Hollyoaks since 2008, shared an adorable Instagram video showing the couple's hands and their pet Doberman's paws pulling away to reveal a baby scan.
"Hopeful beginnings …" Jorgie captioned the super-sweet video. In her latest social media post Jorgie looked the model mum as she posed with a pram in a stylish black puffer coat.

One follower said their 'heart stopped' thinking Jorgie had given birth. However, she captioned the photo to say she was "just practising…" and added a winking emoji. "A few of you have messaged asking which pram did we go for," she explained.
And she added: "Who knew choosing a travel system would be soooooo complex?!" jayden_jay_fox replied: "My heart stopped for a second." m_m_hobs told her: "Actually thought you had had little one." And ambarrebecca asked: "You popped the baba out ?! Xx"
sophiedanvers told her: "Eeek exciting!! It suits you." and Coronation Street favourite Helen Flanagan said: "Suits you xx"
Other followers were taken by the large comfy mittens Jorgie was sporting to ward off the chill during her outdoor stroll, with some thinking they were oven gloves. katedkelly asked: "What are those gloves?"
jlucel said: "Look like oven gloves." emma.barsley asked: "Okay but why oven gloves on your hands." And graceuk11 commented: "Not me thinking that you was wearing oven gloves."
Last year the couple tragically lost quadruplets. Jorgie and Ollie were heartbroken to find out at the 14-week scan there was no sign of life in any of the embryo sacs.
Last month during an appearance on Loose Women they explained that they’re 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.”
Ruth asked Ollie about men getting ‘forgotten’ in miscarriage and how important it is to talk about it. He said: “I think it’s really hard - men and women - to talk about miscarriage in general and how it affects you day to day, just to be able to get on and move forward. I think the really hard part is knowing what’s right for your partner at the same time as well because you’re really struggling as well, and the emotions of it are all over the show."
“It should be a lot more open these days. It is really hard,” he explained. Turning to Jorgie he said: “But I think it’s about making sure you’re alright first and foremost.”
The couple, who celebrated their engagement in February at Morley's Hall, Astley, found love in 2020. Jorgie shared the exciting news that they were engaged in December.
She announced their engagement news on Instagram, sharing a selfie with her new fiance, the owner of Transpire Clothing, and showing off her glistening engagement ring, captioning it: "OMG." Oliver popped the question after 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, Jorgie insisted that it leading to a proposal never entered her head. She said the proposal was the "silver lining" of 2021.
