Jorgie Porter has revealed she is suffering from a painful pregnancy condition that ‘no one ever talks about’ as she shared a video to her on Instagram on Tuesday.
The actress, 36, who is expecting her second child with fiancé Oliver Piotrowski, was seen bending over in pain as she revealed she keeps experiencing ‘lightning crotch’ during the latter stages of her pregnancy.
The Hollyoaks star was seen in a number of clips performing daily jobs before she suddenly ended up crouched over grabbing her crotch.
Jorgie showed off her baby bump in a fitted black romper in the clip as she relaxed on the sofa, hung laundry up and washed dishes.
According to BabyCenter, lightning crotch ‘feels like a sharp, shooting pain that starts in the groin and can travel down the thigh’.

Pregnant women ‘may start to feel the pain which can be slight or take your breath away occasionally in your third trimester’.
The pain typically lasts no more than a few seconds and is not dangerous but is uncomfortable.
Jorgie wrote: ‘Why don’t more women talk about this in pregnancy? Minding my own business, trying to go about my day… then bam!
‘I had totally forgotten alllll about this. What other pregnancy symptoms did no one warn you about?’
The clip comes days after Jorgie dashed out of filming to go for a baby scan while wearing a full face of Hollyoaks makeup and shared the results on Instagram.
The star posted a series of snaps with her followers proudly displaying her bump while lying back on a medical bed waiting for her check-up.
She was dressed in character as Theresa McQueen, for the health update and was wearing false eyelashes and a bright red lip while pulling her crop top up.
In the snaps, where the star cheekily posed smiling and pouting, she explained that she has been feeling very anxious about her pregnancy.

Jorgie has previously suffered a devastating loss after she miscarried quadruplets in 2021 and went on to have son Forest, who is now 20 months old.
She suffered another loss when she was just six weeks pregnant before having Forest.
In one photo, she added a message which read: ‘All is goooooood! Baby is a little wriggler. Feel so happy knowing all is ok. Waiting for scans can make me feel so anxious.’
She captioned the post: ‘Scan update. I’ve genuinely messed up this appointment so many times. Baby brain is real!
‘Middle of a filming day (Theresa makeup still on), mad dash to the scan and we made it just on time. Now it’s time to pee. IYKYK’
Despite her difficulties, the Hollyoaks actress has said she’s excited about her pregnancy and has been showing off her bump on red carpets and social media snaps.
