Hollyoaks star Kirsty Leigh-Porter adores her daughter Nala Rai and would love 'a truckload more children', but it's an impossible dream for the heartbroken star
Hollyoaks actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter loves being a mum and her three-year-old daughter Nala Rai lights up her life. But Kirsty-Leigh's road to motherhood was traumatic and her heart was broken in 2018 when she lost her first daughter Penny-Leigh, 29 weeks and three days into her pregnancy. Dark days followed before she became a mum again. Holding baby Nala in her arms almost two years later was a huge healing moment.
Loneliness overwhelmed Kirsty-Leigh in the aftermath of Penny-Leigh's death. In the end it was the support of strangers that helped her through, and the desire to make her daughter proud. Posting on Instagram helped and Kirsty-Leigh found strength from others who were lost in grief just like her. Now Kirsty-Leigh is telling her story on screen in Hollyoaks. This week her character Leela Lomax will get married to her fiancé Joel Dexter and later take herself to hospital for a check-up after realising she hasn’t felt the baby kick for a while. Still wearing her wedding dress, she’ll be told her baby has died.
