Speaking on her Loose Lips podcast with Sharon Carpenter, Jorgie also revealed that she kept her miscarriage a secret for weeks because she ‘couldn’t find anyone’ who had been through the same experience.
Jorgie said: ‘Right now I feel very loved by everyone I’ve had the most amazing response, amazing messages people have been incredible, event on sites where you think people wouldn’t usually be that nice, I’ve felt the love.
‘I think as well I did it because I’m very open, also we have got a podcast, we open up we tell our truths, we’re lucky we get to talk people through their problems and we get to say what we’ve been through in their lives and given them advice… I can’t say I’m a therapist or I know the right things, but my experience has been, a journey.
Jorgie explained that when she miscarried quadruplets she felt ill-prepared to handle the grief because she feels that miscarriage is still a taboo subject.

She continued: ‘Basically, because when you find out you’re pregnant first of all, generally in life no one really tells anyone, there’s a point, a couple of months, before everyone starts to reveal to other people, and I do understand that because actually nobody really tells you about miscarriage.
‘It’s not taught at schools, I’ve never known about it in my high school or any upbringing I’ve had.
‘You’re finding out about it in magazines and socials. Our mind goes through so many different things, so many questions, things like why did it happen, could I have prevented it?’
Jorgie added that even doctors were stunned when they learned she was expecting quadruplets since she got pregnant naturally.

The actress added that she was never given an explanation behind the loss of her babies, telling her co-host Sharon: ‘We were just never taught, we were never taught how to handle emotions, it was never in our mindsets for that to happen.
‘I think if you’re a young woman if that happens you sort of question it. You still don’t know why this happens, we still don’t have any understanding, doctors never really tell you why.
‘Four for me was the reason why, maybe they couldn’t fit in. If this could change the way we know more about it, if this is anything that brings to the table that would be incredible.’
Challenging: Jorgie also revealed that she eventually discovered that a work colleague had been through a similar experience, and both sought comfort from sharing their losses
Jorgie also revealed that she eventually discovered that a work colleague had been through a similar experience, and both sought comfort from sharing their losses.
She also praised Ollie for being ‘super supportive’ through her ordeal, adding: ‘When we had the miscarriage they give you the options of how it will come out.
‘And they said ”because you’ve had four we don’t know what will happen.” So I said I’d like to go under general anesthetic and it was a big surgery so going along this journey Ollie made these decisions and thinking ”will she be OK? Will she survive?”
‘I did feel in completely good hands, but just the stress of all the way ip and afterwards. It’s just a constant on edge stress, and then obviously things pop up and they remind you and you go ”oh maybe they’d be this big now, the babies.”
Awareness: The star previously revealed she ‘didn’t see’ the signs that she’d lost her babies because she suffered a ‘missed miscarriage’ (pictured in character as Theresa McQueen)
In a candid interview, Jorgie revealed that she and Ollie were stunned to learn they were expecting quadruplets over the summer, only to miscarry when she was just 14 weeks pregnant.
The actress revealed she ‘didn’t see’ the signs that she’d lost her babies because she suffered a ‘missed miscarriage,’ and explained she wanted to raise awareness of the devastation around losing an unborn child.
A missed miscarriage, also known as a missed abortion or a silent miscarriage, occurs when a foetus dies, but the body does not recognise the pregnancy loss or expel the pregnancy tissue.
The actress recalled: ‘It didn’t make sense. I’d not had any sign that things weren’t OK. No pain or bleeding, I was getting bigger, my boobs were growing, I had so much hair on my body and I still felt pregnant. When the consultant performed the scan then said: “You’ve miscarried”, I was in total shock.’
Days later, Jorgie went under general anaesthetic to have her uterus cleared, after which she received a care package containing four tiny teddy bears, with the star explaining they were ‘One for each baby lost.’
She went on to say that her and Ollie’s traumatic experience brought them ‘closer’, with Jorgie coming to believe that ‘it wasn’t our time’.
