‘ I’m waddling round like a little hippo!’

When we catch up with Jorgie Porter, she is counting down the days until she welcomes her first child with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski – and she’s positively glowing.

The 34-year-old Hollyoaks actress recently revealed she and businessman Ollie will be welcoming a baby boy in December, and she can barely contain her excitement about his impending arrival, openly admitting she’d like him to be a mummy’s boy!

“There won’t be competition on who he loves the most, but I’ll be saying, ‘Love me!” she says, laughing.

It’s no surprise that Jorgie is so thrilled about becoming a mum, given what she went through last year. The former I’m A Celeb star tragically miscarried quadruplets last August when she was 14 weeks pregnant and she was very open about the devastating effect it had on her.

“It didn’t make sense,” she said at the time. “I’d not had any sign that things weren’t okay. No pain or bleeding, I was getting bigger, my boobs were growing, I had so much hair on my body and I still felt pregnant.”

But while she’s – for the most part – enjoying this pregnancy, she does admit that it’s not without its challenges.

“I’m not able to sit down or stand up, and I have lightning pains flashing through my body. But you get used to it and know it will end at some point. It will all be worth it. I can’t wait!”

In addition to the physical side effects, Jorgie says her pregnancy has had an impact on her mood and admits she was a “total bitch” in the first trimester!
