Who is Jorgie Porter? Former Hollyoaks actress and I’m a Celeb campmate
JORGIE Porter became a household name on Hollyoaks, but she's since parlayed her fame into a career on reality TV.
The former actress has competed on Dancing On Ice and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! She is currently starring in Fame the Musical.
Who is Jorgie Porter and where is she from?
Jorgie is a Christmas baby, born Jorgina Alexandra Porter on December 25, 1987, in Trafford, Greater Manchester.
Her parents split up and she was raised by their mum and grandmother, while her dad raised her younger sister.
Jorgie has chatted with her sister on Facebook, but she's not in contact with her dad and has only met him once.
When she was 16 years old Jorgie joined ballet school, where she says her teachers told her she had to lose weight or she'd never be a dancer.
When was Jorgie in Celebs Go Dating and how did she get on?
Jorgie has admitted she doesn't know how to flirt, and felt destined to spend Valentine's Day alone as "no one ever asks me on a date", and her first date on Celebs Go Dating didn't go too well either.
Things have improved though, and she has enjoyed a couple of dates with a hunky rugby player - and even managed to get a kiss!
In the episode aired on March 1, Jorgie was left red-faced when given the sex talk by the relationship experts Nadia and Eden.
When Nadia asked: “Is your vagina excited?” Jorgie was left squealing.
The star then nodded and whispered: “She’s skipping. It’s a new feeling!”
What is Jorgie known for?
Jorgie is most famous for playing Theresa McQueen on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks from 2008 to 2016. She first quit the show in 2013, but agreed to return the following year.
She's also known as a men's mag model and for various stints on reality TV.
In 2012 she competed in the seventh series of Dancing On Ice, where she was partnered with American pairs skater Matt Evers.
She made it to the final, finishing in second place behind Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden.
Two years later she returned for an all-stars version of the show, but she and her partner, French ice dancer Sylvain Longchambon, were the the first pair to be voted off.
In 2015 she appeared on a special celebrity episode of First Dates, where she had dinner with a personal trainer named Craig Moultrie.
Later that year she joined the 15th series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, finishing in fifth place.
Getting back to her acting roots, she appeared in a one-off remake of Are You Being Served? in 2016, and spent that summer auditioning for roles in Los Angeles.
Who has Jorgie dated?
Jorgie dated her Hollyoaks co-star James Atherton on and off for three years, before they split for good in 2014.
The following year the star hit it off with her date Craig on First Dates, and he later accompanied her to the Inside Soap Awards.
However things later fizzled out, with Jorgie complaining Craig was "pestering" her.
Later, when Jorgie got cosy with her I'm a Celeb co-star George Shelley, Craig warned him via The Sun: "She will eat you for breakfast."
Jorgie was also linked to Northampton Saints rugby player Luther Burrell in 2015.
