Jacqueline Jossa is a soap star who has made it to the final of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2019. The mum of two shot to fame in 2010 for her role as Lauren Branning in the BBC soap opera Eastenders.

Furthermore, it is reported that she was taking home a six-figure salary as part of her time on the BBC One soap.

Since entering the jungle the starlet has taken on challenges and dealt with the struggles of being separated from her two young daughters, Ella and Mia.
Jossa shares her daughters with husband The Only Way is Essex star Dan Osborne.
Osborne has spent time defending the jungle celebrity after backlash on social media stating that Jossa was being “fake” during her time on the show.
Osborne quickly stepped in with his response when former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jorden accused her of “acting the whole time”.

James tweeted in view of his 266,000 followers: “I’m normally a great judge of character. I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel Jacqueline is acting the whole time on @imacelebrity.
“Everything she does seems a little fake & trying to be what she thinks the public want to see. Only my opinion guys #ImACelebrity2019.”(sic)
However, Dan was quick to bite back.
“Coming from someone who is married to her and lives with her, she isn’t being fake at all mate & she isn’t acting,” he tweeted.
“She is dramatic and can be emotional but she would say that herself… but fake, ABSOLUTELY not.”(sic)
The negative comments came after the star was recorded sobbing when it was announced by co-hosts Ant and Dec that she would be facing a Bushtucker Trial.
The actress then went on to struggle through one of the show’s notoriously grim trials named Crevice of Cruelty.
Alongside Ian Wright, the actress had to make her way through a series of gruesome tunnels and chambers to earn stars which would allow the camp mates to eat that evening.
Osborne also took to his social media to urge viewers to give Jossa a break from the terrifying trials.
He recorded himself saying: “But I know I said to you all, ‘Vote for Jac, because she ain’t in there to change lightbulbs’. I didn’t mean, like, every single trial! Give her a break now, come on!
“But she keeps smashing them all, so she’s worried about it, but she’ll smash it. She’ll keep proving everyone! And she’s doing it with Ian Wright as well, which is good. He’ll look after her.
“Yeah, let her do this one and just give her a break, please, because she’s getting upset now, and it ain’t nice. But she’ll be good, smash it, get all the stars, go back and have a nice dinner.”
The couple are due to be reunited this evening, when Jossa could potentially emerge as 2019’s Queen of the Jungle.
The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here final is tonight on ITV at 9:00pm.
The finale will run until 10:35pm.
