Former Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter proudly showed off her blossoming baby bump in a couple of sexy snaps on Instagram.
The 34-year old stripped down to a tiny white bikini as she cooled off in a large paddling pool as Britain recorded its hottest day on record.
Jorgie looked relaxed as she delved into a book, as her dog Stella looked inquisitively looked on. A second image, meanwhile, her kneeling up in the centre of the pool, cradling her tummy.
Tagging her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski, the actress provided the caption: "Obvs demanded a photo shoot in the pool. And taught Stella how to read as well as getting in the pool."
Fans were quick to acknowledge the Theresa McQueen star's blooming look, with one writing: "Beautiful momma, you deserve to be so happy."
Another commented: "It's so nice to see how completely happy you are. You can see it in your face x Well done you x."
A third added: "Still looks beautiful pregnant or not pregnant."
And a fourth quipped: "Bloomin gorgeous."
Jorgie suffered a tragic miscarriage in November. The star was carrying quadruplets, but sadly lost the babies at 14 weeks.
Speaking about the sorry episode to Closer in February she said: "Losing the quads was so sad and painful but it absolutely cemented the feeling that I want to be a mum.
"There’s no news to share as yet but let’s just say we’re trying – a lot!"
In February, the actress went on to explain that she was taking extra steps to help her fall pregnant.
She revealed: "I’m taking fertility supplements, including folic acid, cutting down on alcohol and I’m mindful about not getting too stressed.
"I keep thinking, 'I’ve been pregnant before, so it’s possible I’ll fall pregnant again'."
Eight months after the tragedy the actress announced she was expecting again, however, sharing the news with fans in an adorable video.
In the clip, Oliver, Jorgie, Oliver's son from a previous relationship and their dog took it in turns to remove their hands — and paws — to uncover the baby scan underneath.
She captioned the post: "Hopeful beginnings …"
