Jorgie Porter dating via FaceTime during lockdown

Jorgie Porter has turned to dating via FaceTime during the coronavirus lockdown.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress and a mystery man painted a picture while having a chat on video call, and while she admitted the activity was "cool", she said the experience can be "kind of awkward".
She told new! magazine: "I’ve had a FaceTime date. It’s quite scary because you think we’re just gonna sit face-to-face and say, ‘Hello, how are you?’
"It’s kind of awkward, so it’s good to do a creative activity like paint a picture together, which is what we did. It’s cool because you see how much effort they’ve put in.
"So if they get their paints and canvas ready, you’re like, ‘Ah, he wants to impress me.’ "
It comes after Jorgie recently said she might be "too old" to be doing sexy photoshoots.
The 32-year-old star said: "I think I might be too old. Where does it end? When will people say, ‘Stop taking your clothes off?’
"I didn’t get to shoot a calendar for 2020 – my photographer was getting her wisdom tooth out. I thought nobody would care.
"But I’ve had so many messages asking me why I haven’t done one, I feel quite guilty. Maybe I should have shot one on my phone."
And she often she forgets her own age.
She added: "I thought I’d lost a year the other day. I literally had to ask my mum. I always think I’m older than I actually am.
"I thought I was 33 the other day, but I’m actually 32. You just forget, don’t you? It would be so easy to forget when my birthday is, too.
"But it’s on Christmas Day and that’s the only reason I remember it. There’s a whole run up to Christmas that reminds me it’s my birthday. Without that, I’d never remember."
