Jorgie Porter was left in tears as she opened up on her plans to have more children following her devastating miscarriage.
The former Hollyoaks actress, who is known for her role as Theresa McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, hopes to have more children despite a huge risk. She excitedly shared she was pregnant with quadruplets in 2021. Yet at 14 weeks, the soap star was left heartbroken when she miscarried her four babies.
It had been a “missed miscarriage”, when the babies are no longer alive but the mother experiences no symptoms. Jorgie went on to welcome her son Forest in December 2022, having become pregnant eight months after the loss of her quadruplets. She has now revealed she is desperate to have more children.
Her fiance Ollie Piotrowski is hesitant about the idea, as he is worried it will be a high risk pregnancy. "For me, talking about babies, I'm like 'yes, let's'. 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," Jorgie said on ITVBe show Drama Queens.
She added: "I was high risk. I could have literally died, and the doctors were telling him that…" The TV star held back her tears as she explained: "Oh, I get sad, because I think about him. Also, I've got no one else to talk to about it. 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'."

The couple welcomed son Forest in 2022 (Instagram)Last year Jorgie opened up on her miscarriage to The Mirror as she told us: “My miscarriage was the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in my life. None of the doctors knew why it happened. I had four times the hormones, and then afterwards, the feeling of being pregnant never went away. Ollie and I had felt so ready to be parents. I just didn’t understand how it could be taken away.
“There is no pain like it, and it was the same for Ollie. Some think, ‘It’s the woman’s body’, but that’s not true. If anything, it makes the male partner feel he can’t be upset. So it’s important to talk about it.”
Jorgie shared how she never intended to share her miscarriage, but felt she needed to acknowledge what happened before welcoming her son. “I felt very lucky to be able to speak to friends who have suffered miscarriages and got through the other side," she said. “I don’t think I can ever move away from what happened. It’s about progression. If I talk about Forest it’s important I don’t ignore what happened. If it had not happened, I wouldn’t be mum to Forest. When he’s older I’ll definitely tell him about our lost babies.”
