Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has given birth to a baby girl.
The Theresa McQueen actress announced the birth of her daughter on Instagram with a sweet picture of her hand.
‘She’s here …..! We are complete,’ she wrote alongside the photo, before thanking the staff at Wigan hospital.
The post was inundated with support from her soap star colleagues, with Warren Fox actor Jamie Lomas and Emmerdale star Hayley Tamaddon offering their congratulations.
‘Yay. So happy for you all. Congratulations beautiful,’ Emmerdale star Laura Norton, who plays Kerry Wyatt, added while Hollyoaks’, while Mercedes McQueen star Jennifer Metcalfe simply wrote: ‘Love.’
Jorgie – who already shares son Forest with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski – announced her second pregnancy in the final episode of ITVBe series Drama Queens, which followed the lives of some of our favourite soap stars.
She previously announced the gender of her new baby in an emotional Instagram post, sharing pictures from her gender reveal party.
She captioned the wholesome post: ‘Thank you soooo much for all your messages! We still can’t believe it. We’re having a GIRL.’
The happy news comes after Jorgie previously opened up about losing quadruplets at 14 weeks in 2021.
During an episode of Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Jorgie discussed becoming pregnant with quadruplets and the emotional ordeal she went through after being told the embryos had stopped developing.
‘We obviously thought, this is a huge risk. There’s all these complications and all these scary moments of what could happen’, she explained.
‘I don’t remember them [the doctors and nurses] talking much about quads, because they’d never come across this! I don’t think they had much to say to us about it but we’d obviously Google stuff, and you just see the most extreme things.
‘You can lose one, you can lose two, and then they spoke about terminating one and terminating two and I thought, I am not going to take one away from a pack.’
‘It was about three or four months later on in the scans, they were like, “now they’ve not developed any further, we’re going to have to get rid of them, take them out”.’
Jorgie returned to filming at Hollyoaks last year, with Theresa returning to our screens in January 2024 amid a major stunt.
The character is soon set to depart again, with Jorgie having taken maternity leave.
