During Tuesday’s Loose Women, Jorgie updated presenters Janet Street-Porter, Dame Kelly Holmes, Coleen Nolan and Ruth Langsford about how she’s doing.’
‘I’m past the bit where we count up to now so I’m counting down,’ she said.
‘So I think, what, it’s six weeks? Maybe we’ve missed a week somewhere.
‘I can honestly say at the beginning it was quite hard, a bit stressful a bit worrying, but then we had to get over that bit and enjoy the journey.’

Ollie later added that although there were moments that were ‘super scary’ it was important for the couple to take a day at a time
‘We both openly said it, it was super scary,’ he said.
Following her miscarriage last year, Jorgie said at the time that ‘the day we found out, we lost four pieces of our hearts’
She also revealed that she found it difficult to talk to others who understood what she was going through.
‘Nobody really tells you about miscarriage,’ she said during her Loose Lips podcast.
‘It’s not taught at schools. We’re finding these things out in magazines and on [social media platforms].
‘When you actually live it yourself, your mind goes through so many things and questions.’
‘It’s hard in general at the best of times but it was extra hard taking each day as it comes and just going with the flow.’
Former I’m A Celebrity star Jorgie announced the exciting news on social media by sharing an adorable video of her scan, with her and Ollie removing their hands from the photo one at a time, before their dog was the final family member to remove his paws, showing the black and white ultrasound.
‘Huge news! We have a little, tiny new McQueen on the way! Our beautiful Jorgie Porter is pregnant! Congratulations all round, this is the best news ever,’ they wrote via Instagram Story.
Jorgie and Ollie were soon inundated with messages of congratulations from her Channel 4 co-stars, with Kieron Richardson writing: ‘❤️❤️❤️ the best news baby pio-ports’.
‘🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️ cannot wait for this chapter xx’, wrote Hollyoaks icon Jennifer Metcalfe.
Chelsee Healey – aka Goldie McQueen – added that she was ‘crying’ and West End performer Samira Mighty commented: ‘Yes yes yessssss xxxxxx’.
