“We’ve been keeping a little secret,” the couple posted, along with a video of the couple, Forest, and their dog discovering an ultrasound photo.
On a previous episode of Drama Queens, Jorgie explained that while she was interested in thinking about having more children, her partner was more hesitant because of what they had been through.
“For me, talking about babies, I’m like ‘yeah, let’s go,'” she said in the previous episode.
‘But Oliver, it is a slightly more indecisive topic because he obviously knows the past situations, what we went through and also the risks.
‘I was at high risk. He literally could have died, and the doctors were telling him that…’
‘Oh, I get sad, because I think of him. Besides, I don’t have anyone else to talk to about it.
In August 2021, the couple discovered during their 14-week scan that Jorgie had lost the quadruplets they had conceived naturally and in February they learned of her second miscarriage six weeks into her pregnancy, on the day of their engagement party. .
The first I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! The contestant explained that she had never met anyone in her situation before.
But now she may be “more upset” about her pregnancy loss as she grieves what she could have had.

On a previous episode of Drama Queens, Jorgie explained that while she was interested in thinking about having more children, her partner was more hesitant because of what they had been through.
She said: ‘Because no one has ever been through that… I’ve never met another quadruple mum, and I’m probably a bit more upset now about her loss.
“Whereas at the time it made more sense, but… it’s… when you think, ‘oh, there could have been a football team.'”
Jorgie began playing Theresa McQueen in Hollyoaks in 2008 and left the role in 2016, but returned in 2020 and has been on screen ever since.
She now appears in Drama Queens, which follows actresses including Coronation Street’s Ellie Leach and Brooke Vincent, as well as Emmerdale’s Laura Norton and EastEnders legend Rita Simons as they navigate their daily lives with soap stardom.
“For me, talking about babies, I’m like ‘yeah, let’s go,'” she said in the previous episode. “But Oliver, it’s a rather provisional topic because he obviously knows the past situations, what we went through and also the risks (pictured at the BAFTAs on May 12).
Jorgie previously admitted that she felt “lucky” to be able to rely on her friends and, although she will never be able to get over what happened, she is aware that without the miscarriages, she would not have her son Forest now.
‘If it hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be Forest’s mother. When I’m older I’ll definitely tell him about our lost babies, miscarriages and how we got to the other side.’
She said Mirror: ‘I felt very lucky to be able to talk to friends who suffered miscarriages and came out on the other side.
“I don’t think I can ever get away from what happened. It’s about progression. “If I’m talking about Forest it’s important that I don’t ignore what happened.
The actress noted at the time that the miscarriage was the worst “pain” she had ever gone through.
But he intends to explain to Forest exactly what happened when he’s older.
