Exhausted Jorgie Porter says putting her fussy baby to sleep is 'living hell'
Actress Jorgie Porter revealed it was a 'living hell' putting her fussy baby to sleep in a new honest post shared on social media Actress Jorgie Porter revealed it was a 'living hell' putting her fussy baby to sleep in a new honest post shared on social media. In December last year, she welcomed her second child, a baby girl, with fiancé Oliver Piotrowski. She also shares two-year-old Forest with him while he has a 10-year-old from a previous relationship. In a recent post shared on her Instagram Stories, she was seen cuddling up with her baby while looking tired. 'One of those nights where putting your baby to bed is a living hell," Jorgie wrote as the caption. 'But you just love them sooooo much. You forget all the kicking and screaming.' In May, Jorgie announced her pregnancy news during an episode of ITVBe's Drama Queens. She also shared the news on her Instagram page with a video of her, her fiancé, their son, and their dog covering a photo of the baby scan with their hands (and paw). At the end of the year, Jorgie announced she welcomed her second baby, Peony, in a post shared on social media. She wrote: "She's here …..! We are complete [heart emoji]. Thank you to everyone at Wigan hospital. "Especially @sandi_goulding who is our everything couldn't of asked for a better day." She posted a sweet snap of herself holding her newborn's tiny hand. Friends and fans rushed to congratulate the star on the happy news, with one person writing: "She's amazing and you guy's are amazing, best day getting to be with you all and being a tiny part of her arrival," and another person added: "Oh! My! Gosh! Huge Congratulations to you all." Ferne McCann wrote: "Congrats babe," and Jen Metcalfe added 'love' with a few heart emojis. Jorgie and her fiancé Ollie introduced their baby daughter for the first time to OK! magazine at their stunning home in January. Forest and Alfie, who visited them in hospital on the day their baby daughter was born, are loving being big brothers – or at least Alfie is. 'Forest is still wrapping his head around what's going on,' Jorgie told us. Peony was delivered via a planned Caesarean section. When asked about her birth weight, Jorgie, who is a little over 5ft 2in, burst out laughing and responded with, 'She was a whopper!' Jorgie explained: "I knew she was going to be big because I felt massive the second time around. She was officially 8lbs 14oz but I'm rounding it up to 9lbs because I'm tiny and feel like a hero! She was just a little chunk. "When the nurses pulled her out after the C-section, I thought, 'Thank God I chose another section because there's no way I'd have had her naturally.''

Jorgie Porter sets pulses racing as she flaunts her incredible figure in a blue bikini on Spain holiday with fiancé Oliver Piotrowski
Jorgie Porter set pulses racing on Tuesday as she flaunted her incredible figure in a blue bikini during a sun-soaked holiday to Spain with her fiancé Oliver Piotrowski. The Hollyoaks star, 37, looked nothing short of sensational as she posed up a storm at the side of the pool, flashing her sideboob in the glittery two-piece. She wasn't afraid to showcase her toned physique as she larked around in the strappy bikini top and thong-style bottoms. Jorgie wore her blonde tresses in a naturally straight style and opted for a glowing palette of makeup to elevate her natural beauty. She added a stylish pair of shades as she sipped on a bottle of water and dipped her feet into the pool, making the most of the hot weather. The blonde beauty accessorised with a gold bangle, her engagement ring and a dainty pair of hoop earrings. The trip comes just four months after Jorgie welcomed her second child, Peony, in December last year with Oliver. The couple already shared son Forest, two. And the happy couple appeared to be on cloud nine as Oliver later met his wife-to-be at the pool and playfully fed her chocolate. The entrepreneur, 36, also opted for blue as he donned a patterned pair of swimming trunks and dark shades. Jorgie was seen errupting into laughter and could barely keep her hands off her hunky partner as they shared a joke. It comes just days after Jorgie and Oliver enjoyed a hot and heavy moment by the pool, this time with the soap star looking equally incredible in a glitzy gold bikini. The couple only had eyes for each other as they kissed and canoodled on the edge of the pool, with Oliver cheekily inspecting her bottom at one point. In another selection of shots, Jorgie leapt into Oliver's arms and straddled him in a serious display of passion between the pair. The playful duo were seen larking around with each other and jumping into the water as they showed off their fun relationship. Jorgie, her fiancé Oliver, and their family have taken some much-needed relaxation time away from their Greater Manchester home. The entrepreneur, 36, also opted for blue as he donned a patterned pair of swimming trunks and dark shades In December, Jorgie confirmed the birth of her second child with fiancé Oliver, seven months after announcing her pregnancy. The actress - who played Theresa McQueen on the soap from 2008 until 2016 - shared the joyful news with a sweet Instagram post. Posting a photo of her newborn's tiny hand, Jorgie captioned the image with a heartfelt tribute to her nurse, writing: 'She's here …..! We are complete. 'Thank you to everyone at Wigan hospital Especially @sandi_goulding who is our everything... couldn't of asked for a better day.' Former Hollyoaks castmates and other celebrity pals were quick to send their congratulations to Jorgie and Oliver. 'Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️,' said soap star Jennifer Metcalfe, while TOWIE's Ferne McCann commented: 'Congrats babe ❤️❤️❤️❤️.' Lizzie Cundy said: 'Wow !! This is the best news ever! So happy for you all ! ❤️❤️❤️.' Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley added: 'Congratulations my loves xxxx,' while her co-star Hayley Tamaddon said: 'Congratulations [love heart eyes].' Following on from her tribute in the post, nurse Sandi replied: 'She's amazing and you guy's are amazing, best day getting to be with you all and being a tiny part of her arrival xxx.' Jorgie looked incredible four months after welcoming her little girl Speaking exclusively to MailOnline ahead of the birth, Jorgie - who welcomed a son called Forest with Oliver in November 2022 - admitted that it had felt like a long pregnancy, noting that the second time around wasn't easier. 'My belly's stretched loads bigger. I feel like I've been pregnant for 54 years!' she said. Jorgie then went on to say that her due date could be a surprising one: 'I'm due in four weeks but my bag's packed already as her head's engaged so she could pop out tonight! 'I had a C-section the first time, so I would like that again.' Talking about expanding her family, Jorgie said: 'I think it's good because we don't have a lot of family, so we want to create a big family unit. 'I think every woman feels pressure to go back to work or might feel guilty that they want to go back to work, so it's all a bit of a midfield, but I have the best support.' She confirmed her pregnancy in an episode of ITVBe's Drama Queens in May, revealing that she and Ollie were expecting again. 'So guys... guess what? I am pregnant,' she told her co-stars. She also took to Instagram to share a video of her baby scan featuring her little boy and their dog, captioning it: 'We've been keeping a little secret.'
