Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has shared pictures from her baby shower, thanking co-star Kieron Richardson for helping organise it.

The Theresa McQueen actress is currently expecting her first child with fiancé Oliver Piotrowski, a baby boy. Over the weekend, they celebrated with a snazzy do.

Sharing some photos of herself posing with her bump in front of a load of balloons, Jorgie wrote: "The B E S T afternoon! Thank you so much to the greatest bunch who organised this amazing surprise baby shower for me.

"@mrkieronrichardson @olliepiotrowski @go_pr_and_events = actual dream team. Haven’t stopped smiling all day!

"Warning… Baby shower spam incoming #babyshower #pregnancyjourney."

Over on her Instagram Stories, Porter shared more photos and videos from her baby shower, including custom cupcakes, a quiz Kieron hosted, and a blindfold nappy change race.

Jorgie has admitted that she found it difficult to hide her pregnancy on screen, joking that keeping it a secret was her "best acting".

"Obviously my outfits for Theresa are not pregnant friendly, so yeah, it's good to reveal it," she said.

"I think, honestly, I've been doing my best acting just hiding it and pretending I've been ok, which you know, is kind of annoying as you just want to be like 'Guys, hug me!'"

The actress tragically miscarried quadruplets last year and later opened up about the experience, explaining how her fiancé helped her through the grieving process.

"Men suffer during miscarriage too, and Ollie was so, so sad. By voicing his feelings, he got us through, because that encouraged me to speak about mine too," she said.

"This experience has tested us in so many ways, to make sure that we're now certain we want it."
