Jorgie Porter gives birth: Hollyoaks actress welcomes baby boy named Forest as she shares photo of her happy family leaving hospital
Jorgie Porter has welcomed a baby boy with her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski.
The Hollyoaks actress, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday morning to reveal the happy news, sharing a photo of herself and Ollie leaving hospital with their son.
She captioned the image with the words: ‘Welcome to the family…. Our little boy…Forest.’
The couple announced they were expecting the baby in June in an Instagram video that showed Porter, Piotrowski and their dog each waving their hands to reveal the ultrasound photo.
It came just eight months after Jorgie, 34, lost quadruplets at 14 weeks in a devastating miscarriage.

The short clip, which the soap star captioned “Hopeful debut…[sic]’, captured a sweet unveiling of a baby scan.
Oliver, Jorgie, Oliver’s son from a previous relationship and their pet dog took turns removing their hands – and paws – to discover the scan underneath.
The couple later revealed they were expecting a baby boy and were “thrilled” by the news.
In an interview in March, Jorgie revealed she had no idea she had lost her quadruplets from a previous pregnancy because her body was “still pregnant” after suffering a missed miscarriage.
The actress explained she opted for the surgical removal as her fiancé Ollie spoke of feeling “helpless” throughout the ordeal as the couple appeared together on Loose Women.

She suffered a second miscarriage six weeks into another pregnancy in February – the day of the couple’s engagement party.
Revealing the news of being pregnant again in HELLO! magazine, the couple said having a ‘healthy baby was a dream come true’ as they opened up about their grief after a number of miscarriages.
Porter told the magazine: “We are delighted to reveal that we are expecting a baby boy. Ollie and I weren’t embarrassed anyway, of course. All we wanted was a baby.
“He is definitely very active and I can feel him doing somersaults and backflips. It’s amazing to think about what we’ve created.
Property developer Piotrowski, 33, described how emotional he was during routine ultrasound after miscarriages over the past year.
He said: “We had been through so much to get to this point and learned not to take anything for granted. Just having a healthy baby was a dream come true.
In October, Jorgie enjoyed a lavish baby shower at Firefly in Manchester where she was joined by friends, family and co-stars.
Guests were greeted by a large arch of balloons as they entered and enjoyed a sumptuous meal to celebrate the birth of a baby boy by Jorige.
The actress, best known for her role as Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap opera Holyoaks, became engaged to Ollie while staying at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perth and Kinross.
The former Dancing On Ice star and her fiancé have been dating since 2020 and went Instagram official in October of that year.
