Jorgie Porter displayed her bare baby bump in a cropped hoodie as she detailed her battle with pregnancy insomnia.

The Hollyoaks star, 36, who is expecting her second child with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski, shared a gallery of pictures on Instagram on Monday as she documented her pregnancy so far.

Jorgie showed off her bump in a mirror selfie as she wore a dark cropped jumper and low waisted tracksuit bottoms.

The actress revealed in the caption that she has been ‘starving’ in the middle of the night while she is suffering from ‘insomnia’.

Jorgie snapped a selfie of herself eating an ’emergency’ piece of jam on toast at 3am. 

She wrote: ‘Feed was looking pretty perfect so he’s a bit of reality. For some reason the last few weeks even though I’m exhausted I can’t sleep. 

‘On top of that Forest has been waking up in the night, which is so unlike him and then when’s finally back to sleep I get hungry!

‘I mean… starving. Emergency 3am jam on toast and yep I’ve not washed my face. Pregnancy insomnia, who knew that was even a thing. July – be kind.’

The actress also shared a glamorous selfie of her and Ollie in the back of a car as they headed on a date night in Manchester. 

In another picture, Jorgie cradled her growing bump as she donned a stylish white long sleeved minidress and sandals.

The actress announced she was expecting her second child during an episode of her ITVBe show Drama Queens at the end of May. 

Jorgie told the camera: ‘So guys… guess what? I am pregnant.’

Jorgie and her fiancé, 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 previously miscarried five babies after falling pregnant with quadruplets in 2021 – and suffered another loss when she was six weeks pregnant before having Forest.

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. ‘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.
