Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter has revealed she’s expecting her second child.
The soap star, who is a proud mum to son Forest, shared her big baby news on Wednesday’s episode (May 29) of ITVBe’s Drama Queens. However, it came after a tragic miscarriage.
Jorgie also confirmed the news on her Instagram page. She uploaded a video of her fiancé, Ollie Piotrowski, their son, and their dog covering a photo of the baby scan with their hands (and paw).

She captioned the post: “We’ve been keeping a little secret.” In 2021, the actress had announced that she was pregnant with quadruplets but tragically suffered a miscarriage at 14 weeks. It was a horrific experience that has deeply affected both her and Ollie.

Reflecting on this in the show, she said: “For me, talking about babies, I’m like ‘yes, let’s’. But Oliver, it’s a bit more of a tentative subject because he obviously knows the past situations, what we went through, also the risks. I was high risk.
“”I could have literally died, and the doctors were telling him that… Also, I’ve got no one else to talk to about it. Because I’ve had no one go through… I never met another quad mum,” she added.

The actress went on: “And I’m actually probably a bit more upset for the loss of them now. Whereas at the time, it made more sense, but… it’s… when you think, ‘aw, there could have been a football team’.”
Earlier this year, Jorgie opened up about motherhood to OK!, revealing that it’s given her a newfound sense of purpose. She shared: “I honestly didn’t think I’d love it this much. He’s a year and a half now, still a tiny baby in my eyes, but his personality is really starting to come through now, which is gorgeous.”

She added: “He’s quite dramatic no idea who he takes after there. You see him throw himself on the floor and squeal and look up at you, and I’m going, ‘Nah, mate… I need better acting than that!’ But honestly? It’s the best thing ever. I feel like now I’ve got a reason to do things even my job. I just want to look after him. He’s our main focus.”
