Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter and fiancé Oliver Piotrowski share parenting tensions on Drama Queens
Drama Queens has aired parenting tensions between Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter and her fiancé Oliver Piotrowski.
The ITVBe series continued last night (April 17) as Jorgie and Oliver spoke about parenting their baby son, explaining the difficulties with their respective schedules as an actor and business owner.
"We are the absolute opposite. And it causes the most arguments known to man between us," Oliver admitted.

"It is probably our biggest hurdle that we are going through at the moment. Hollyoaks and Jorgie’s work, because Jorgie's work there's no flexibility. So cancelling meetings, moving stuff around, chasing my tail all the time. It is proving really difficult."
Later on at Oliver's birthday party, the show aired further tension between the couple, as Jorgie admitted that "scheduling is hard as parents, when one person has a job".
"I mean we've both got jobs," Oliver then interjected.

"We've both got jobs, but also, it's quite hard to say not whose job is more important but, how do you go, 'You pick up the kids, I'll work,'" Jorgie noted.
Their friend Kirsty then backed Jorgie as she suggested that Oliver could "drop meetings" and be "more flexible", whereas its "harder for [Jorgie] job to say, 'I can't come into a shoot today,' because that affects that shoot for a month."
"What about the 20 people who work for me?" Oliver then asked, Kirsty then suggesting he could achieve a "balance".

"I think the solution is 50/50," Oliver then argued. "You take responsibility 50%, I take responsibility 50%."
"I would if my job would let me take," Jorgie said, Oliver adding: "My job won't let me as well."
Speaking later to camera, Jorgie reflected: "Whose job is more important in life? I don’t know, we're both not going to leave our jobs. We're passionate people and we like to discuss things full-heartedly."
