Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has been praised by fans after sharing a “slice of reality” on social media.

Much like her character on the soap, Porter is known for her stylish appearance and frequently shares pictures of her glamorous life online. However, in an honest Instagram post, the star revealed the reality of her day-to-day existence as a busy mother of two.

The candid post saw Porter sitting on the toilet with her new baby Peony on her lap. She was also accompanied by her toddler Forest, as well as her two dogs, with all five of them squeezed into the small cubicle.

“This is me…” she shared in the caption. “I posted that picture yesterday looking all glam and whilst I did look like that for a moment, it was just a moment. The reality is this…

“I’ve forgotten what it feels like to pee in peace. If I’m honest I think it’s going to be many many years before that happens again, if ever. Personal space is overrated anyway.”

The actor announced her second pregnancy last summer, and took a break from Hollyoaks in December to begin her maternity leave. She and her fiancé Oliver Piotrowski welcomed their second child Peony later that month.

“The transition to 2 has been a lot. Some days I feel like I’m smashing it, other days not so much,” Porter continued in the caption. “For anyone else in the thick of it, you’re not alone. More and more I realise us mums are superheros, so sharing a slice of my reality incase you all thought I had my sh*t together.”

The star received a flood of praise for her honest Instagram post, with fans sharing their similar experiences in the comment section. “Same here! Two dogs, a toddler and a baby. Some days are smooth sailing and others are a shipwreck. lol” wrote one.

“This is also my life. Two dogs, a baby and a toddler! I think of it as being nice to be loved so much you can’t wee in peace,” echoed another, while a third added: “If any photo in the world could sum up mum life, this is it!”
