Jacqueline Jossa supports Dan Osborne as he launches ambitious new business
EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa showed her support for The Only Way Is Essex star husband Dan Osborne as he prepared to launch his new tanning salon business venture
Jacqueline Jossa has thrown her support behind her husband Dan Osborne as he launched a new business - weeks after fears their marriage was on the rocks. The former EastEnders star, 32, has been married to ex-Towie star Dan, 34, since 2017 and together they are parents to two.
Earlier this year it was suggested that Jac and Dan's marriage was on the rocks and headed for calamity. But come April, there were signs the couple were working through their issues and a "make or break" holiday away signaled that they were still together.
Over the weekend, soap star Jacqueline turned up to the launch of her husband's new business venture, showing her support for the enterprise. Dan has created a new tanning salon in Benfleet, Essex, called Paradise.
The couple were spotted there over the weekend - with Jac sporting a t-shirt adorned with the name of the new shop across the back. Dan shared highlights of a launch event while also teasing the official opening day.
Sharing photos and video footage on Instagram, he wrote: "Thank you to everyone that came down today for our opening party of @paradiseinbenfleet We will be finally opening Wednesday 2nd July been a long time coming."
Jacqueline reacted to the post writing: "Congratulations" alongside an excited emoji. While many other friends and followers reacted to Dan's post to offer further messages of congratulations.
Jacqueline and Dan have weathered many storms over the course of their 12 year romance. They met at an awards show in 2013 and began dating soon after.
They announced they were expecting their first child together the following year and their daughter, Ella, was born in February 2015. Four months later, in June 2015, the pair revealed they had become engaged.
Dan shared the news with a social media post explaining he got down on one knee during a trip to Greece. He shared at the time: "She said YES!!! I am the luckiest man in the world to be marrying the woman of my dreams."
After tying the knot in June 2017, the couple announced they were expecting a second baby together in January 2018. However, in May that year, they suffered their first bump - with reports hinting they had broken up while Jac was still pregnant.
In June 2018, second daughter Mia arrived and in October that year it was revealed they had got back together - only for Dan to endure several claims he had been unfaithful in 2019.
Despite repeated remarks their marriage was in trouble, the couple managed to remain close in the years since. But at the beginning of this year, there were reports they had broken up and were putting their family home on the market.
Dan and Jacqueline ultimately hit back at the claims, however reports in March claimed Dan had moved out. However, they rekindled their romance in April when they took a "make or break" holiday to Mexico.
A fellow holidaymaker told The Sun that they appeared to be getting on well, commenting: "Dan and Jac looked like any normal couple. There were a few Brits at the resort, but no one recognised them and they were left alone to relax and enjoy quality time together."

Bob Vylan's defiant statement as they break silence after Glastonbury outrage
Pro-Palestine act Bob Vylan chanted 'death, death to the IDF' in a sickening rant on stage at the festival and rapper Booby now spoken out about the 'love' and the 'hatred' Musician Bobby Vylan has broken his silence with a defiant response following his controversial Glastonbury set on Saturday. Rapper Bobby, of punk duo Bob Vylan, this weekend led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: "Free, free Palestine" and: "Death, death to the IDF". Police are continuing to examine videos of the comments he made on stage, and what happened during Kneecap's set. Posting on Instagram, he told his fans that he had been 'inundated' with a mixture of 'support and hatred' following the performance but that he stood by what he said and is calling for 'a change in foreign policy' despite the the Israeli Embassy saying it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival". In a lengthy statement captioned 'I said what I said', the musician wrote: 'As I lay in bed this morning, my phone buzzing non stop, inundated with messages of both support and hatred, l listen to my daughter typing out loud as she fills out a school survey asking for her feedback on the current state of her school dinners. 'She expressed that she would like healthier meals, more options and dishes inspired by other parts of the world. Listening to her voice her opinions on a matter that she cares about and affects her daily, reminds me that we may not be doomed after all.' 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us. 'Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to do when we want and need change. Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered.' He concluded his statement: 'Today it is a change in school dinners, tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy.' After perhaps the most politically-charged Glastonbury ever, organisers said: 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Prime Minister Keir Starmer has demanded BBC bosses "explain" how the punk duo calling for the death of Israeli soldiers was broadcast from Worthy Farm. He said: "There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast." In a post on social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: "We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation." The Israeli Embassy had plenty to say and also released a statement. "Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. But when speech crosses into incitement, hatred, and advocacy of ethnic cleansing, it must be called out-especially when amplified by public figures on prominent platforms. "Chants such as 'Death to the IDF,' and 'From the river to the sea' are slogans that advocate for the dismantling of the State of Israel and implicitly call for the elimination of Jewish self-determination. When such messages are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence. "We call on Glastonbury Festival organisers, artists, and public leaders in the UK to denounce this rhetoric and reject of all forms of hatred." Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes "grotesque", writing on X: "Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked. The cultural establishment needs to wake up to the fact this isn't protest, it's incitement.

Big Brother star ordained minister after turning to church
Glyn Wise, who says he has been working towards this achievement for five years, turned to the church after a trip to China made him reconsider parts of his life. The personality appeared on the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006 and has since made a career for himself on the radio and telly. A post shared by Glyn Wise (@glynwise) The 37-year-old took to Instagram to share the news with fans, telling users on the social media platform: "This is Rev Glyn - I'm coming to get you! "Day 1 as an official Rev! Hard work, praying and studying has paid off - 'With God all things are possible' Math 19: 26. "Looking forward to follow in the footsteps of the disciples in the book of Acts, spreading the good word across the nations! The star went on to share: "Thank you very much for all the support. I would like to repeat Paul's words in his letter to the Philippians: "I do not claim that I have already arrived, nor do I claim to be perfect! But I keep going in order to gain all that the Messiah Jesus intended for me when he called me to follow him. "Dear brothers and sisters, I do not for a second think that I have already arrived! All I say is this: I forget what is behind me and focus all my energy on what is forward to "I run to the finish line with the intention of winning! I want to win the prize that God has for us. His call to heaven is what the Messiah did." (Phil 3: 12-14)." A post shared by Glyn Wise (@glynwise) This pivot towards religion isn't something new for Glyn, with the personality previously sharing his faith on This Morning, according to The Sun. He said: 'I grew up in a religious family and I prayed my way onto Big Brother.
