JACQUELINE Jossa has amassed millions of followers since breaking onto Albert Square as Lauren Branning in EastEnders in 2010.
But it is off-screen where the nation has fallen in love with her – thanks to her unfiltered glimpse into life as a mum of two.

She was crowned Queen of the Jungle for being unapologetically herself – all while in a limbo over rumours her husband Dan Osborne was cheating.
Not many women can brush this aside. But Jac has proved she can rise above the tittle-tattle.
As celebrity couples go, it is fair to say that the pair have had their fair share of ups and downs.
After they tied the knot in a glossy magazine shoot in 2017, their marriage has been rocked by numerous cheating allegations relating to Dan.
It seems the cracks in their relationship truly started to show during what should have been Jacqueline’s shining moment in 2019.
The EastEnders actress was crowned Queen of the Jungle on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
But during the series, she threatened producers that she would quit after campmate Myles Stephenson told her that he believed Dan had cheated on her with Love Island star Gabby Allen.
Jac told producers that she did not want to continue on the show without talking to Dan and she was allowed to leave the jungle temporarily to send him a voicemail and receive one back.
Surely this should have been a time when Jacqueline was longing to be reunited with her husband – not trying to play detective.
But in true Jac style, she has weathered the storm.
The couple have two young daughters and Jac is hot property on Instagram – boasting four million followers who enjoy seeing her unfiltered “mum life”.
Yet despite no big scandal, Dan and Jac have now agreed that they need time apart.
One thing is for sure, Jacqueline and Dan have clearly raised two wonderful girls.
And if that means co-parenting in separate houses and not walking on eggshells, then I am sure their children will thank them one day.
I have no doubt that her fans will support her through this difficult period.
She has already been through enough – but now it seems that she is in the driving seat and is putting herself and the children first.
