Pregnant Jorgie Porter cradles her baby bump in shimmering dress as she leads the glam at the star-studded Soap Awards
PREGNANT Jorgie Porter looked incredible in a shimmering dress at The Radio Times Soap Awards tonight.
The Hollyoaks actress, 36, cradled her bump on the red carpet as she posed for pictures outside Manchester’s Midland Hotel.
The blonde beauty wore her locks in a stylish updo, and her piercing blue eyes were decorated with smoky makeup.
Her co-star Jennifer Metcalfe caught the eye in a daring dress that showcased her toned tum.
EastEnders’ Angela Wynter looks classy in a monochrome number, adding a splash of colour with red shoes and a matching clutch.
Kirsty Leigh Porter showed off her legs in a metallic sparkly blue outfit and Kate Fitton rocked a tight-fitting black dress with billowing cape.
Jaden Ladega and Danny Walters looked suave in suits, while Jamie Lomas paired a blue shirt with matching trousers for a smart finish.
Veterans Michelle Collins and Adam Woodyatt shared laughs and had a good natter upon their arrival, while Eric Pollard actor Chris Chittell was in a typically animated mood.
It was a big night for EastEnders with the soap winning seven awards including Best Soap.
Helen Daly, Associate Editor, Radio Times, said: “All soaps have excelled over the past 12 months and it’s an honour to be able to award them for their efforts.”
Morgan Jeffery, Digital Editor, Radio Times, said: “Congratulations to all the soaps on their award wins – and especially to EastEnders for an amazing night.
“I’m thrilled for all our nominees and of course our winners – these accolades reflect what has been a terrific year for British soap, delivering all the twists, turns and unbeatable drama that have kept UK audiences hooked for over six decades.”
Meanwhile Jorgie announced she was pregnant with her second child in the last episode of reality show Drama Queens back in May.
The fly on the wall series documented what life is really like for some of the nation’s best-loved soap stars.
She told the camera: “So guys… guess what? I am pregnant.”
Jorgie and her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski welcomed their first son Forest in December 2022 – just over a year after she miscarried with quadruplets.
The star added: “And I am a little bit moody, not full mood.”
