Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter broke down in tears as she opened up about her struggles and said, ‘I once had suicidal thoughts.’
Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has tearfully opened up about almost dying during the loss of her quadruplets.
In the most recent episode of ITV reality series Drama Queens, Jorgie revealed that she had miscarried quadruplets before falling pregnant with son Forest, who she shares with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski.
Explaining what had happened, Jorgie said: ‘We went to the hospital weekly, and one day the doctor was literally like, “There is nothing here.” So, we then had a massive freak out, crazy, weird time.’
The Theresa McQueen star went on to reveal how the loss had affected her pregnancy with Forest, explaining how she refused to let anyone celebrate before he was safely in her arms.

As Jorgie and Ollie discussed the possibility of having more children, the businessman opened up about how difficult it was to see Jorgie in pain, revealing that he felt ‘helpless’.
‘For me, talking about babies, I’m like, “Yes, lets,”‘ Jorgie added. ‘For Oliver, it’s a bit more of a tentative subject, because he obviously knows the past situations that we went through.
‘Also, the risks. I was high risk. I could have literally died. And the doctors were telling him that…’ She said, getting choked up, before adding: ‘I get sad, because I think about him.
‘Because, also, I’ve got no one else to talk to about it. I’ve had no one go through it. I’ve never met any other quad mums.’
She went on to explain how she felt more upset about the loss now, than she had at the time.
‘It’s when you think, “Aw, they could have been a football team…”‘
This isn’t the first time Jorgie has spoken out about her miscarriages, having previously opened up about the surgery she had to undergo on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast, Happy Mum Happy Baby.
