Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter eyeing soap return one month after giving birth
Share:
Jorgie Porter, known for playing Theresa McQueen on Hollyoaks, is already thinking about returning to the soap just weeks after giving birth. The actress, who welcomed her second child, Peony, in December with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski, is currently on maternity leave. She and Ollie are also parents to a two-year-old son. Speaking to OK! Magazine, Jorgie shared her excitement about returning to work and hinted that she might even bring her newborn along.
Jorgie said: "I love working, I’ve been doing it from such a young age, and I did Hollyoaks and Dancing On Ice at the same time. Obviously it’s not as easy having a baby too, but maybe I’ll ask them if I can just bring Peony to the show and then ask the costume department if they can just hide her!".
Her character took a temporary exit over Christmas to allow Jorgie to go on maternity leave, departing the village alongside returning Nanna McQueen (Diane Langton). Jorgie looked incredibly relaxed as she invited us into her Greater Manchester home to meet the family’s latest addition – their newborn baby daughter. “It’s all about teamwork,” laughed the Hollyoaks star, as we watched her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski expertly multitask around the house while carrying a very fast-asleep baby Peony Porter Piotrowski.
