HO HO HO…it’s Hollyoaks and the Ivy!

Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has launched the first Frankie & Benny’s Big Kids Birthday parties.

And as her own birthday is on Christmas Day, she decided her Half Birthday on July 25th would be a cracker.

As you can see, the I’m A Celebrity favourite’s bash had all the bells and whistles and that’s just what other Big Kids will get.

The popular Italian restaurant is showing diners in need of fun that they can celebrate their birthday any time. And if they have as much fun as Jorgie, there are sure to be many happy returns!

The new Big Kids Birthday Bundles, in partnership with delicious Project D Doughnuts, have been Inspired by the nostalgia of the parties we had as children and the joy those memories bring.

We’ve all been dreaming of a summer of sun but we’ve given up on the British weather so let’s party anytime like it’s Crimbo!

Jorgie and six of her friends went to Frankie & Benny’s Manchester Printworks and celebrated with the new Frankie & Benny’s birthday pack, the grown up shakes and the delicious Project D doughnuts.

TV star Jorgie, 35, who has just become a mum for the first time, said: “I’ve never liked having a Christmas Day birthday so when I was asked to get involved in this campaign I jumped at the chance! Growing up it was just me, my Mum and my Gran so not seeing my friends on my birthday always felt pretty lonely. When I met my partner Ollie I made clear my expectations to be spoilt on my birthday – no joint Christmas / birthday presents – I wanted double presents!

“Celebrating my six month birthday in the summer makes so much sense and I’ve really enjoyed the night, being child-free and care-free and enjoying some me time with Ollie and our friends. It’s so important for parents to get that time and the 00’s nostalgia is a vibe! Thank you Frankie & Benny’s for giving me a proper birthday!”

Frankie & Benny’s Marketing Director, Andreia Harwood, said: “ We are thrilled to announce we are bringing back birthday parties at Frankie & Benny’s in partnership with Project D Doughnuts. We know our guests have fond memories of celebrating their birthdays in our restaurants when they were in their teens, so what better way to feel young again than with our Big Kid’s Birthday Bundles at affordable prices, all to the tune of a classic birthday jingle and a birthday cocktail!”.
