Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter announces she is pregnant with her second child after previously revealing her hope for more kids after devastating quadruplets miscarriage

Jorgie Porter has revealed she is pregnant with her second child.

The Hollyoaks actress, who is mum to 17-month-old son Forest, shared the news on the last episode of her ITVBe show Drama Queens on Wednesday night, telling the camera: ‘So guys… guess what? I am pregnant.’

Jorgie and her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski, who welcomed Forest in December 2022, later added a sweet post to Instagram confirming the happy news.

‘We’ve been keeping a little secret,’ the couple posted, alongside a video of the couple, Forest and their pet dog uncovering an ultrasound photo.

Jorgie, who plays Theresa McQueen on Hollyoaks, previously miscarried four babies after falling pregnant with quadruplets in 2021.

'For me, talking about babies, I'm like "yes, let's"',' she said on the previous episode. '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 (pictured at the BAFTAs on May 12)

The star added during her reveal to camera on Drama Queens: ‘I am a little bit moody, not full mood.’

She is then seen chatting to Ollie about it and asked if he was excited, to which he said he was but quickly added: ‘And scared.’

‘Lets just hope and pray, it is one healthy extra, and then I am booking into the clinic.’

On a previous episode of Drama Queens, Jorgie explained that while she was keen to think about having more kids, her partner was more hesitant because of what they have been through. 

‘For me, talking about babies, I’m like ‘yes, let’s”,’ she said on the previous episode.

‘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…’

‘Oh, I get sad, because I think about him. Also, I’ve got no one else to talk to about it.’

In August 2021,  the couple discovered during their 14-week scan that Jorgie had lost the quadruplets they had conceived naturally and in February they learnt of their second miscarriage at six weeks into the pregnancy – on the day of their engagement party.

The former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant explained that she has never met anyone in her situation before.

But, she is perhaps ‘more upset’ about her pregnancy losses now as she mourns what she could have had.

She said: ‘Because I’ve had no one go through… I never met another quad mum, 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.’

Jorgie began playing Theresa McQueen in Hollyoaks in 2008 and left the role in 2016, but returned in 2020 and has been on-screen since.

She now appears in Drama Queens, which follows actresses such as Coronation Street’s, Ellie Leach and Brooke Vincent as well as Emmerdale’s Laura Norton and EastEnders legend Rita Simons navigate their everyday lives with soap stardom.
