Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter gives birth and announces her baby's name

"Welcome to the family."

Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has given birth to a baby boy and confirmed her baby son's name.

After announcing that she and fiancé Ollie Piotrowski were expecting back in June, Porter gave her Instagram followers a magical update today (November 30) with a super cute hospital corridor shot.

"Welcome to the family…. Our baby boy .. forest," she captioned it, revealing she and her partner had named their little one Forest.

Quick to react, the Theresa McQueen performer's soap colleagues wasted no time in congratulating the new parents.

Cleo McQueen herself Nadine Mulkerrin shared: "Congratulations darling xxx welcome earthside Forest", before Cindy Cunningham's Stephanie Waring wrote: "Awww huge congratulations to you both welcome to the world baby Forest! So happy for you… now the fun really begins!"

Nancy Hayton's Jessica Fox went on to write in the comments section: "Massive congratulations to all of you and welcome to the world Forest! You are SO loved!", which was followed up by Olivia Bradshaw star Emily Burnett's comment: "Ahhhhhhh Forest!!! Perfect. Congratulations you Wonder Woman!"

Porter previously admitted that she and Piotrowski "didn't mind" what sex the baby was.

"All we wanted was a baby. He's certainly very active, and I can feel him doing somersaults and backflips. It's incredible to think [about] what we've created," she said while speaking to Hello! in September.

"We'd been through so much to reach this point and had learnt to take nothing for granted. Just to have a healthy baby was a dream come true."

Hollyoaks streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
