Daily Mirror15-06-2025
EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa has paid tribute to the dad of her two kids on Father's Day, Dan Osbourne, amid reports he sent flirty texts to Christine McGuinness
Jacqueline Jossa has praised her husband, Dan Osbourne, for being "the best daddy ever" on Father's Day as they continue to rebuild their relationship. The couple, who share daughters, Mia and Ella, have been hit with a number of allegations about their marriage after announcing in March they were spending time apart before giving things another go on a "make or break" holiday to Mexico with their kids.
Dan, 32, has also recently been accused of sending flirty texts to Paddy McGuinness ' ex-wife, Christine, however his pal claimed the dad-of-three would 'hate for there to be any suggestion of impropriety', adding 'a man and woman can be mates'.


Today, Dan's wife, Jac, also 32, told the TOWIE star how important he was to their family as she shared a snap of her husband in his Calvin Klein pyjama bottoms opening cards and presents from his daughters and son, Teddy.
The children had made their dad cakes, iced with 'King of Hearts' and photos of Dan as the proud father-of-three enjoyed the morning at home. Documenting the special day, Jac also shared a photo of her husband with their daughters, with the caption: 'Happy Father's Day @danosborneofficial - the best daddy ever.'
After announcing they had decided to spend time apart in March, Jac and Dan seemed like they were not ready to give each up just yet as they jetted off to Mexico for a "make or break" family holiday with their children. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said the pair were "trying to fall back in love with each other again."
They explained: "They've had a rocky, up and down relationship so now they're trying to do things differently and give each other more space at home, while enjoying this holiday. Jacqueline and Dan want to be together for their children and do want to be a family, but now it's a case of remembering why they were together in the first place."
However, recently, the couple, who have just come back from a family trip to Ireland, were rocked again when Dan was accused of sending saucy messages to former Miss Liverpool, Christine.

Christine was in the middle of a divorce with comedian, Paddy, and it was thought the pair found solace in each other's situation and formed a strong bond. The Real Housewives of Cheshire star's marriage was over, but Dan was reportedly still trying to mend his broken home with Jac.
According to The Sun, the pair who have known each other since 2019, had stayed in touch over the years and remained friendly when they bumped into each other, but sparks soon became noticeable.

A source told the publication: "They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty. Some were seen by mutual friends.
'She would call him 'D' in texts, and it became an open secret among their circles. There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it's fair to say there was a spark between them."
The insider insisted: "She is absolutely adamant nothing sexual happened between them. She also was 100 per cent single at the time and could chat to anyone she wanted.'
Dan is also adamant there was no romance between the pair with a pal saying: "Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety. Of course, it's possible for a man and woman to be mates.'

EastEnders legend slams soap after joining rival ITV show

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMERDALE star Joe Absolom has slammed the BBC for its treatment of its actors when he was previously starred in the soap. The actor - who plays villain Ray Walters in the ITV soap - shot to fame in rival soap EastEnders as Matthew Rose. 2 Emmerdale star Joe Absolom has slammed his former soap EastEnders Credit: ITV 2 The star appeared in the BBC soap for three years Credit: BBC He played the beloved character for three years between 1997 and 2000 before quitting the soap. And it took him a quarter of a century to agree to return to soap after the experience - but this time, he says, is much better. 'Yeah, it's really good,' he told The Sun. 'Everyone's really nice. They really look after you, much better than the BBC did. 'When I was on EastEnders, it was like, 'Right, that's your time, see you then'. 'It was like a job, which is fine. But this is like, they look after me, they put me in a nice place, they pick me up. 'It's really nice. Everyone's very nice. I get my own cup, yeah, I got a pass. I can get into the building whenever I want.' He added: 'I got lost already today. And then Brad came out and showed me where I was going. 'Everyone's very nice, yeah.' But it's not just EastEnders as a show he's taken aim at - he wasn't particularly impressed with the casts of other soaps at the time either. New Emmerdale star Joe Absolom takes a savage swipe at EastEnders 25 years after quitting soap Joe added: 'And I remember when we did EastEnders I remember meeting all the other casts from the soaps and Emmerdale, always, by far the nicest bunch of people. 'Hollyoaks were like footballers, Coronation Street were quite, I don't know, they were never particularly friendly, but Emmerdale, I remember everyone in EastEnders at the time saying Emmerdale were the nicest bunch. 'And now I'm here and I've met them. I believe that's true.'

Couple 'blown away' after finding 'beautiful' Welsh landmark from Windows background A couple who've been travelling around Wales in their van have shared their thoughts on a beautiful landmark in Ynys Môn after seeing it on one of their Windows backgrounds Leanne and Dan explored what they described as the "head" of Wales (Image: The Buddymoon/YouTube) A pair of travel vloggers who have been touring Wales have shared their delight at an "absolutely beautiful" find on the island of Anglesey. South African couple Leanne and Dan, who document their adventures on The Buddymoon YouTube channel, have traversed the length and breadth of Wales in their van, visiting locations from Cardiff to the scenic Llŷn Peninsula. ‌ Their most recent journey took them to what they described as the "head" of Wales in the north, Ynys Môn (Anglesey). In a video titled I Guess All Good Things Must Come To An End (Wales), the couple began their exploration with a visit to the village of Llanfairpwll. ‌ After snapping the obligatory photo next to the sign at Llanfairpwll, famous for its extraordinarily long name, the duo set off in pursuit of a lighthouse they had spotted on one of Leanne's Windows wallpapers. ‌ Departing from the car park at Newborough National Nature Reserve and Forest, Dan enthusiastically told viewers that they "must see" this lighthouse. Leanne expressed her admiration for the view (Image: The Buddymoon/YouTube) He explained: "We actually found it on one of Leanne's Windows wallpapers on her laptop, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, where is that?' And little did we know it was in Wales" Article continues below Stepping onto the beach, Leanne exclaimed: "How beautiful is this view, though? Oh my gosh, I almost broke my back looking at the view. We have the Snowdonia mountains in the background and this beautiful bay. It's so, so flat." Leanne and Dan visited the much-loved local highlight of Ynys Llanddwyn (Image: The Buddymoon/YouTube) Later, she revealed they had reached what she called the "Island of the Blessed", which proved to be the beloved local gem, Ynys Llanddwyn, a small tidal island situated off Anglesey's western coastline. ‌ As the pair drew closer, Dan noted that he'd noticed a number of noisy planes overhead.

The spot looked as beautiful as the pictures, albeit with some more clouds He noticed signage warning that drone flying was prohibited in the vicinity, leaving him somewhat deflated as he showed some of the aerial photographs of the location that he'd found online. ‌ Dan remarked: "It's just absolutely beautiful. You can see on the one side, we have the sea and on the other side, we have the sea, too. And there's actually quite a few beaches that people come here to in order to swim, but yeah, we're not doing that." In a sweet moment, the couple later shared a kiss at the landmark (Image: The Buddymoon/YouTube) Once they arrived at the "impressive" lighthouse, the couple examined the structure, though it was the surrounding view that particularly impressed Leanne, who described it as "even better" and "so pretty." Article continues below In a sweet moment, the couple were later spotted sharing a kiss as they looked out over the idyllic Welsh scene, with the lighthouse standing guard over the ocean in the distance.

Father's sinister explanation as he boiled himself to death in huge pot

WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: Lim Ba, 68, suffered a severe heart attack and second-degree burns during the dangerous act inside a large metal pot with a fire underneath A self-proclaimed 'magic man' tragically perished after steaming himself in a bid to 'purify his body and soul'. ‌ In 2017, 'Black Dog' Lim Ba endured a devastating heart attack and second-degree burns during the perilous ritual inside a massive metal pot with flames beneath. ‌ It comes as a father took his own life live on TV as his horrified children watched. ‌ Lim, 68, was carrying out a "human steaming" performance during a Nine Emperor God prayer ceremony at the Chinese temple Kuala Sanglang Qinglong, in Malaysia's Suala Sanglang. Worshippers first suspected trouble when frantic banging from within the blistering "human steam" covering could be heard roughly 30 minutes into the ritual. They quickly lifted the cover to discover him unconscious, reports the Express. Shocking footage shows him writhing uncontrollably as people frantically attempt to drag him from the heat and onto the floor. His arms keep twitching upwards as he's placed down and someone dashes for assistance. ‌ The Taoist medium was declared dead at the location by paramedics. His youngest son, Kang Huai, 32, disclosed his father commenced the steaming ritual around 10pm that evening, reports the Mirror. He revealed his father was taking medication for high blood pressure and those watching knew when to lift the cover. ‌ He told Malaysia's The Star: "By the time the ambulance arrived, my father had stopped breathing. He underwent a heart bypass last year due to on-and-off breathing difficulties." Despite constant appeals to cease, Lim had been conducting the human-steaming performance for more than a decade - once remaining inside for 75 minutes. During a performance at a Nine Emperor Gods celebration in Ayer Tawar, Perak, Kang Huai disclosed that food items such as rice, sweet corn, and vegetarian buns were also placed inside the wok for steaming. ‌ "My mother Ch'ng Siew Hong, my sisters and I are very sad. Our cheerful father has left us forever," he said. Lim's daughter Wei Ling, 37, revealed her father had moaned about the sweltering conditions en route to the stunt and had gone off his food. Lim was acknowledged as a Taoist medium, following the ancient Chinese faith which encourages living in balance with the Tao. The Federation of Taoist Associations of Malaysia (FTAM) president Tan Hoe Chioew explained that these kinds of ceremonies weren't truly part of conventional Taoist practices but were more similar to a fa shu (theurgy or magic) display. He went on to clarify that such stunts were carried out to draw in followers and showcase the performer's physical stamina.
