Jorgie Porter, 37, a mother-of-two and actress from Hollyoaks, gave birth eight months ago, but she already looks flawless as she enjoys some downtime on the beach in Marbella, Spain.

Actress Jorgie Porter looks absolutely incredible as she suns herself in Marbella wearing a tiny red bikini, less than eight months after giving birth to her second child. The former Hollyoaks actress, 37, is mum to two young children.

Forest, her son, was born in November 2022, and she welcomed him. Then, on December 10, 2024, she and her fiance, Ollie Piotrowski, delivered a baby girl called Peony. Ollie’s 10-year-old son, Alfie, is also co-parent to the couple.

In stunning new photos of Jorgie on holiday in Marbella, the soap star oozed beauty as she frolicked on the beach. On one photo she can be seen wearing a pair of oversized shades as she stood in the surf. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show.

Another photo shows her elegantly squirming and holding sunglasses while enjoying the sun. After taking a dip in the ocean, she is photographed taming her long, blonde locks with her hand.

The mother-of-two enjoyed some downtime before her soap comeback, while Jorgie’s washboard abs and toned legs from her sunny vacation had a light tan. In the fall of the season two of Hollyoaks Later, the actress will reprise her role in Theresa McQueen.

Jorgie has previously attributed one simple trick to her weight management after speaking about her post-baby body. The actress revealed the secret to losing weight after giving birth to her first child.

She told the Sun: “This is literally due to breastfeeding and Forest is 18kg now. I’m carrying this little thing around constantly has helped.

I’m also constantly running around doing things; my body always seems happy, but it always seems to fluctuate. “Jorgie thanked the medical staff for taking care of her and her family,” she said in December when she gave birth to her second child.

Shortly after her daughter’s birth, she revealed in an exclusive chat with the Mirror how she was finding being a mum of two.

“It’s hard. Nobody tells you that it’s the hardest thing in the world because you’ve got a toddler that wants all your attention and you’ve, obviously, got a little baby that’s attached to you, literally that is another level of mum-ness. It is hard. We’re in the trenches, this is the trenches we’re deep in there.“

For a variety of reasons, having two kids is challenging, but Jorgie reveals she finds Forest’s jealousy particularly challenging, but she is slowly getting her eldest to adjust to the new family dynamic. She goes on to say, “Honestly, it’s great, but I think there’s jealousy when the toddler is screaming, “You’re my mummy, get off this one, put her in the carseat,” or “No Forest, we’re cuddling her.”

He can’t understand that I’m also her Mummy, so it’s challenging. He is aware of how strange it is, though. It’s incredibly challenging to use. It’s going there, and it’s brilliant. I believe that every day people say, “Oh that’s a win, that’s brilliant, we’re out together in a pram, we did it.” Therefore, things are going well.

In a post on Instagram, Jorgie announced the arrival of her daughter in December: “She’s here…! [Heart emoji] We are complete. Thank you to everyone at Wigan Hospital, especially @sandi_goulding, for making today so special. Then, she shared a sweet photo of herself holding the tiny hand of her baby.

In May last year, Jorgie shared the news of her pregnancy on an episode of ITVBe’s Drama Queens, as well as on her Instagram page. She posted a video of her fiancé, son and their dog covering a baby scan print out with their hands (and paw).

We’ve been keeping a little secret, she wrote next to the post. Then, in September, she shared photos from her gender reveal party.

Jorgie proudly displayed her bump in a long-sleeved, white mini dress while holding a large balloon with the words “boy or girl?” engraved on it. Then she shared a video of a massive white cake with the words “coming soon” written on top.

In order to determine the color of the sponge, Jorgie and Ollie were seen dipping a wine glass into the cake. As she turned the glass around to reveal the cake’s pink filling, Joy exclaimed, “Yay!”

Forest and Alfie, Forest’s half-brother, are in their Greater Manchester home half of the time, and they are eager to meet her. However, Jorgie’s pregnancy began to make her anxious, telling OK! magazine that it appeared to have lasted “100 years.”

It was the longest time, she claimed to the magazine. About a week after she announced her pregnancy, Margaret Robbie gave birth to her child; I was pregnant for what seemed like a century!

The issue was that I couldn’t conceal it because my bump came out so early. By the end, I would wake up every day and think, “Yup, I’m still a whale, I’m not getting away from this.” I thought I really should enjoy it more and milk it, even though it was harder this time. So, I would lie down if I had the option to, “I didn’t care what other people thought.” I merely wanted to enjoy it.

Bill Bailey, the former Strictly winner, claims there was never anything that led him to believe that the BBC dance show had a “toxic culture” during his time working in the background.

Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey has spoken out about recent allegations surrounding the show’s off-camera culture, and says he never witnessed anything of concern during his time on the programme.

The comedian and musician lifted the Glitterball trophy in 2020 alongside professional dancer Oti Mabuse, during a series which was heavily impacted by Covid-19 restrictions. Bill has addressed the ongoing controversy, insisting he was unaware of any behind-the-scenes issues.

In recent years, the long-running BBC dance competition has been plagued by allegations of misconduct and bullying involving both contestants and professionals. It comes after Strictly’s Anton Du Beke shared heartbreak over wife’s ‘cruel and inexplicable’ diagnosis.

However, Bill has given a short response to the allegations of a ‘toxic culture’ as he told The Times: “I don’t know anything about it to be honest. We were under Covid protocols. There was no carousing.”

In 2023, an independent investigation upheld complaints of verbal bullying by Giovanni Pernice towards his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington, although the most serious claims of physical aggression were not substantiated. Fellow professional Graziano Di Prima also publicly apologised after kicking Zara McDermott during rehearsals that same year.

Bill’s experience on the show paints a different picture than these incidents, which have garnered significant media attention. He described the program as physically exhausting but ultimately positive throughout.

He stated, “It was difficult. Physically speaking, it’s a challenging exercise, and I don’t think many people realize how important it is to train. The pros are under a lot of pressure to deliver the goods, undoubtedly. Strictly speaking, it’s a big gig. There is a lot of pressure to choreograph and look good.

He also spoke about the high standards set by professional dancers, adding that “many dancers eventually become very well-known in their own right.” They are big winners in terms of book deals and show appearances. It’s a big show, really.

Some behind-the-scenes employees have described a less hospitable environment, despite Bill’s personal observation of no bad behavior. Unnamed runners claimed they were abused, mood swinging, and shouting by some dancers and celebrities in reports shared with BBC News. One runner remarked, “I think it’s awful for the celebrities who suffered, but I think it’s a much bigger problem for the crew.”

According to a BBC Studios spokesman, “Our top priority has always been, and continues to be, the safety and welfare of our crew on each series.” The claims, according to them, “do not reflect the experience of the hundreds of production staff members who have worked on Strictly over the past 21 years.”

Meanwhile, excitement is building ahead of the new series, with rumours swirling about who will be taking to the dancefloor this autumn. According to reports, trailblazing model Ellie Goldstein has signed up as one of this year’s contestants.

Ellie, 23, was honored with her own Barbie doll and made history as the first model with Down syndrome to appear on British Vogue’s cover in 2023.

A source told The Sun: “Ellie is thrilled to be taking part in Strictly. She has broken down so many barriers in her career… and can’t wait to show people what she can do.” They added that the BBC is “incredibly proud” of the signing and believes she “could go all the way”.

Kerry Katona and her long-time friend Katie Price have been talking about their 18-year-old daughters’ careers, and they have denied nepotism claims as they tour their home.

The pair “are looking forward to hitting the road together and sharing their stories of marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, I’m a celebrity, the importance of family, their constant press attention, and turning their lives around,” according to the official listing for their tour.

But when critics object to Heidi’s desire to have her on reality TV, she refuted those who claim that she was nepotistic. “Everyone has a contact for someone, but everyone talks about nepotism right,” said Kerry.

She told the Sun: “I can open a door for you. Whether you get through that door and you stay through it, that’s on your own f*****g merit.”

Kerry then took a swipe at David Beckham’s 26-year-old son Brooklyn, who quit football. She remarked: “You don’t see Brooklyn Beckham playing f***ing football, because he’s s**t.”

Brooklyn, who was 16 years old, didn’t receive a scholarship to play for Arsenal’s youth team.. He instead decided to become a photographer and also has his own hot sauce brand.

Katie Price also made comments about the upcoming documentary Princess, which follows the teen as she celebrates her 18th birthday. However, Princess will be the star of the show despite her mother’s infamous UK reputation, with Katie being prohibited from participating in her documentary.

To add insult to injury, Katie’s ex Peter Andre and his wife, NHS doctor Emily, will feature in the documentary. A source told MailOnline: “Katie will not be in Princess’s show, the decision has been made and it’s final. Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life.

Television executives vehemently opposed to including Katie because it would not provide a true and accurate view of her life. However, the mother-of-five Katie appears to feel pressured to leave after discussing the situation on her podcast before being quickly moved on by Sophie, her sister.

She continued, “Mummy and Princess can now go out together because Princess is now officially an adult.” If some people would permit her to visit me.

“Everyone is aware that she is producing this documentary, but I’m not.” Some people don’t believe that being with me with Princess is beneficial. People who used to care for me.

“You, Katie, aren’t on brand.” Katie, you’re too risky, Katie, and that’s why, her sister remarked. It’s pitiful, “. Katie snapped and said, “I’m her mother.” “It’s so sad. When certain individuals who once looked after me are now doing so.” Katie’s sister Sophie then cut her off and told her to “save it for another day.”
