Pregnant Jorgie Porter shows off her growing bump in a striped bikini

She’s expecting her first child with her fiancé Oliver Piotrowski.

And Jorgie Porter offered a glimpse of her growing bump in a striped bikini as she tried to stay cool during the UK’s hottest day in history by relaxing in a paddling pool.

The Hollyoaks star, 34, joked that she ‘demanded a shoot in the pool’ highlighting her beach look as she soaked up the sunshine with a book.

Jorgie showed off her blossoming bump in a gold bikini with a striped effect as she relaxed in her paddling pool.

The star was joined by her beloved dog as she read her book in the sunshine.

Her post was captioned: ‘Obvs demanded a photo shoot in the pool @olliepiotrowski. And taught Stella how to read as well as getting in the pool.’

Jorgie got engaged to her boyfriend Oliver in December, revealing he unexpectedly got down on one knee on their trip to Scotland, three weeks before Christmas.

The soap recently announced her pregnancy at the start of June and shared the happy news with an adorable Instagram video.

It comes eight months after Jorgie lost quadruplets at 14 weeks in a devastating miscarriage.

The short clip, which the soap star captioned ‘Hopeful beginnings …[sic]’, captured a sweet unveiling of a baby scan.

Oliver, his son from a previous relationship, Jorgie and their pet pooch took it in turns to remove their hands – and paws – to uncover the scan underneath.

The post’s comment section was awash with congratulatory messages, including from TOWIE’s Georgia Kousoulou and Jorgie’s fellow Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey.

Hollyoaks’ official Instagram profile reposted Jorgie’s video with a heartfelt message: ‘@themissyporter #REPOST HUGE NEWS! We have a little, tiny new McQueen on the way! [sic] our beautiful @themissyporter is pregnant! ❤️ congratulations all round, this is the best news ever! ❤️’.

In an interview in March, Jorgie revealed she had no idea she’d lost her quadruplets because her body was ‘still being pregnant’ after enduring a missed miscarriage.

She explained she opted for surgical removal while her fiancé Ollie discussed feeling ‘helpless’ throughout the ordeal, as the couple appeared together on Loose Women.

Jorgie first recalled learning about the pregnancy, telling the Loose Women panel: ‘I was excited that we got pregnant because that’s what we wanted. We went for an early scan because we’ve got twins in our family – on both sides.

‘The doctor said we can see three sacks – we had no idea what that meant. They said “we’re gonna rush you into a hospital appointment”.

‘With that one we were told there were four sacks. We were still not the wiser, until she said “quadruplets.”

Ollie, who she’s been dating since 2020, added: ‘I fell over!’ while Jorgie admitted she panicked: ‘My body is too small!’

She continued: ‘So we were just shocked. And throughout the pregnancy it was not really enjoyable – my hormones were just…

‘When you are pregnant you wanna tell some people, and you don’t tell many people early on. I’m not sure why. But, I don’t like to keep a secret. I like to tell everyone what’s going on in my life.

‘Having the hormones times four was just really stressful. I was in work with costumes. Within three or four weeks my body started to change dramatically and costumes wouldn’t fit.

‘Before we found out it was quadruplets I thought “this is insane what pregnant women go through”.’

Turning to her devastating miscarriage, Jorgie recalled: ‘We were going for scans regularly because we were being looked after.

‘And it was during our fifth or sixth scan, they said “you’ve had a miscarriage, they’ve gone.”

Asked if there were any signs she’d miscarried, she explained: ‘No, that was another thing. It was a missed miscarriage, so my body was still being pregnant and doing the symptoms of pregnancy.

‘The next bit is really heartbreaking, the question of how they’re gonna go. The hospital said… there are options where… how do we get rid of this?

‘So we went through the route of surgery so I could be knocked out. I didn’t wanna see and hear things…

‘They’ve never really done this surgery before so they didn’t know what the outcome could be. They said there could be a lot of blood loss.’

Ollie added: ‘It was kind of just thrown on just that it was a miscarriage. As a man it was really helpless and scary.

Thankfully the couple have come out even stronger, with Georgie admitting: ‘We do talk a lot. We are really good the fact that we communicate a lot.’

Ollie explained: ‘I cried straight away, while you were really tough and strong. Then a few days later you had a meltdown and I had to be strong.’
