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."

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."

Starmer demands BBC explanation for broadcasting Bob Vylan's 'appalling' chant
Chanting on a stage at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan called for the death of Israeli soldiers, footage which was available on BBC iPlayer until the corporation took it down Keir Starmer has demanded BBC bosses "explain" how a punk duo calling for the death of Israeli soldiers was broadcast from Glastonbury. Pro-Palestine act Bob Vylan chanted "death, death to the IDF" in a sickening rant on stage at the festival. Bobby Vylan, singer and guitarist of the duo, has since posted a defiant message on Instagram, despite police confirming officers are looking into his tirade. And the Prime Minister, who also said Glastonbury Festival organisers should not have let controversial rappers Kneecap appear on stage, has described Bob Bylan's words as "appalling hate speech". Mr Starmer, 62, 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." The BBC, which did not stream Kneecap live, conceded comments made by Bob Vylan were "deeply offensive". The duo's performance is no longer available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Event chiefs said they were "appalled" after the music double act led the crowd in "death to the IDF" chants during their performance. Glastonbury had previously said all are welcome at the festival but added it "does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers". Referring to Bob Vylan, Glastonbury organisers said on Sunday: "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." Israeli politicians, including the country's deputy foreign minister, Sharren Haskel, blasted the BBC and Glastonbury for failing to cut off the performance during the live broadcast. The singer from the pro-Palestine punk act, who keeps his identity secret, also shouted "from the river to the sea Palestine... will be free" - regarded by Jews as a call for Israel 's elimination. IDF stands for Israel Defence Forces, the national military of the State of Israel, which is currently involved with the war in Gaza, one of two remaining Palestinian territories. Avon and Somerset Police are now examining video evidence and investigating if any offence had been committed. However, Bobby Vylan has since said on Instagram: "I said what I said." The dad shared a lengthy statement to follow up, in which he stated: "Tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy." A BBC spokesperson said: "We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets. "We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury's West Holts stage. "As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings. As we have said before, acts are booked by the festival, and the BBC doesn't ban artists. We didn't stream Kneecap live. "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand."

Coronation Street star addresses what happened to Gary and attack culprit
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon has revealed all on Maria Connor's reaction to finding out the truth about Gary Windass' (Mikey North) disappearance. Gary disappeared without a trace following a row with Maria, who wasn't pleased about his growing connection with relatively new neighbour Lou Michaelis (Farrell Hegarty). When he didn't return home, Maria reckoned that it was simply due to their falling out. 'She's really upset that he's gone but it's not until he's been gone too long that she realises something is really wrong and is even more worried,' admitted series star Samia. 'Her emotions turn from being upset about the fact that they've fallen out to being worried about his safety.' Samia credits Gary missing Liam's (Charlie Wrenshall) birthday as the catalyst in her on-screen alter-ego realising that something is afoot. 'She was obviously worried before where he was because he had been gone a long time and was ignoring her messages and phone calls and thought they would have sorted it out long before that,' said the actress, 'but as soon as he misses Liam's birthday she absolutely has a gut feeling that something isn't right and thinks something awful might have happened to him.' Gary, as audiences know, was seen in the hospital in recent scenes. He's in a coma and fighting for his life. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

In upcoming scenes, we'll see Maria reporting Gary as a missing person to Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), who then learns about an unidentified patient. He's sure that it isn't Gary, but it becomes clear that his attacker is going to extreme lengths to conceal their crime and cover their tracks. They're even pretending to be his next of kin. Samia added: 'It's bittersweet for Maria [when she learns Gary isn't the coma patient] because she's of course glad Gary isn't in a coma, although little does she know he actually is, but at the same time she's worried even more now because her fear is he could be in a worse condition or even dead.' More Trending The actress said that, when Maria does find out that Gary is the coma patient, her mind is 'spiralling'. 'But she doesn't stop for a second to think who actually attacked him and put him in a coma, she's aware Gary has got a lot of enemies from over the years who could have potentially wanted to take revenge on him.'
