Channel 4 Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has given birth - and she's revealed her baby boy's 'perfect' name

Jorgie Porter has welcomed a baby boy with her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski and the star shared her joy as she left the hospital with her family. The Hollyoaks star, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday afternoon (November 30) to reveal the happy news.

The Theresa McQueen actress captioned the sweet image of the parents smiling as Ollie carried their son with the words: "Welcome to the family… Our baby boy ... Forest." And the congratulations came flooding in.

The couple announced they were expecting in June in an adorable video on Instagram which showed the star from Eccles, her man and their dog moving their hands - and paw - to unveil the sonogram photo. The joyous announcement came just months after Jorgie tragically suffered a miscarriage with quadruplets at 14 weeks.

Jorgie has been sharing her pregnancy journey with fans. In October during an appearance on Loose Women the couple 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.”
