‘Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️,’ said soap star Jennifer Metcalfe, while TOWIE’s Ferne McCann commented: ‘Congrats babe ❤️❤️❤️❤️.’
Speaking exclusively to ahead of the birth, Jorgie admitted it had felt like a long pregnancy, adding that the second time around wasn’t better.
‘My belly’s stretched loads bigger. I feel like I’ve been pregnant for 54 years!’ she said.
Jorgie then went onto say that her due date could be a surprising one: ‘I’m due in four weeks but my bag’s packed already as her head’s engaged so she could pop out tonight!
‘I had a C-section the first time, so I would like that again.’
Talking about expanding her family Jorgie said: ‘I think it’s good because we don’t have a lot of family, so we want to create a big family unit.
‘I think every woman feels pressure to go back to work or might feel guilty that they want to go back to work, so it’s all a bit of a midfield, but I have the best support.’
Jorgie recently revealed she was having a baby girl in an adorable Instagram post.

Jorgie revealed she’s having a baby girl in adorable post after enjoying an Italian babymoon with her fiancé Oliver
The pregnant soap star made the exciting announcement with a series of snaps of herself enjoying a gender reveal party.
It came weeks after she enjoyed a romantic babymoon in Italy with Oliver.
The couple seemed to be making the most of their alone time before baby number two arrives, as they jetted off to Rome for a long weekend in the sunshine last month.
In one snap shared to her Instagram grid, Jorgie looked sensational in a white bandeau dress as she cradled her blossoming bump.
She elevated her natural beauty with a flawless palette of makeup and wore her long blonde tresses down for the outing.
Jorgie captioned the post with: ‘A long weekend just us @olliepiotrowski ♥️ It’s not a glass of champagne, but it’ll do.’
Earlier in the year, Jorgie opened up about her devastating quadruplets miscarriage in 2021.
Speaking on an episode of ITVBe’s Drama Queens, she explained: ‘For me, talking about babies, I’m like “yes, let’s”‘.
‘But Oliver, it’s a bit more of a tentative subject because he obviously knows the past situations, what we went through, also the risks.
‘I was high risk. I could have literally died, and the doctors were telling him that…’
‘Oh, I get sad, because I think about him. Also, I’ve got no one 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 learnt of their second miscarriage at six weeks into the pregnancy – on the day of their engagement party.
The former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant explained that she has never met anyone in her situation before.
But, she is perhaps ‘more upset’ about her pregnancy losses now as she mourns what she could have had.
She said: ‘Because I’ve had no one go through… I never met another quad mum, and I’m actually probably a bit more upset for the loss of them now.
‘Whereas at the time, it made more sense, but… it’s… when you think, ‘aw, there could have been a football team.’
