Dan Osborne and Jacqueline Jossa share a glimpse of their family break to Ireland - amid claims he's 'exchanged flirty texts' with Christine McGuinness during marital woes
Dan Osborne and Jacqueline Jossa have jetted off to Ireland for a family trip - not long after it emerged he's 'exchanged flirty texts' with Christine McGuinness.
The TOWIE hunk, 33, and the EastEnders star, 32, seem to be on a path to rekindle things after the couple has been rocketed by marital woes.
And on Sunday, Dan gave his followers an insight into the family vacation as he shared a snap of Jacqueline and their two daughters Ella, 10, and Mia, six.
They were captured climbing up a cliff with little Mia carrying an alpaca with her as mum Jac followed behind her.
Elsewhere the proud dad - who also shares Teddy, 12, with ex Megan Tomlin - shared a snap of Ella as she cradled a black alpaca, writing: 'Ella fully wanted to take Elvis home'.

Another heart-melting picture saw Dan cuddling Mia as he held her, as the family appeared to cherish the immersive experience in the nature.
Dan and Christine, 37, failed in their attempts to hide their growing bond for one another as far back as 2019 - after it was reported the pair have leant on one another during their respective marriage difficulties.
It's claimed that the pair exchanged 'flirty texts' while acting as a source of comfort during their personal struggles and they were previously pictured together in March 2023.
After the news came out last week, Dan has now responded to wife Jacqueline's latest Instagram post.
The soap actress shared a stunning photo of herself at the British Soap Awards, where she wore a strapless black gown.
Sharing his love and support for his wife, Dan commented beneath it: 'Beautiful!'
The comment was liked by hundreds of people, who were in agreement with the star.
Dan has continued to work through his marriage breakdown with Jacqueline after they were thought to have called it quits in March after eight years of marriage.

Sources had claimed that Christine and Dan comforted each other through their marital woes, and exchanged a string of flirty texts.
The model reportedly called Dan 'D' in their 'flirty texts' and they were also pictured together at London's The Hoxton hotel in March 2023.
After news of their close friendship come to light, Christine reportedly said she is 'absolutely adamant nothing sexual happened between them both', with Dan suggesting the messages are 'deep fakes or AI'.
A source close to Christine told The Sun that Dan 'mainly led the way with texts', which often involved 'platonic stuff about their kids'.
Dan and Jacqueline's relationship has been plagued by accusations of infidelity and in 2018 Dan was linked to Love Island's Gabby Allen after they were spotted getting close on a yacht in Marbella.
Previously, The Sun claimed that Dan sent 'flirty messages' to his former Celebrity Big Brother co-star Gabby - months after the pair vehemently denied claims that they'd had an illicit tryst.
In March 2019 rumours began to circulate that he had kissed Love Island's Alexandra Cane in a nightclub, which they both denied.
That December he was rocked by cheating claims after it was alleged he engaged in a threesome with his Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Natalie Nunn and Chloe Ayling last year - which he strongly denied - while Jacqueline was in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
After endless denials, Dan finally admitted he had been unfaithful and then referenced his misgivings in a post.
Dan publicly apologised to Jac a week after she was crowned queen of the jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Kate makes hands-on visit to examine museum's exhibits
The Princess of Wales marvelled at the 'eclectic' collection of the V&A when she ordered and touched its exhibits like members of the public. Kate visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London's Stratford to learn about its 'order an object' system where paintings, furniture, books and sculptures can be requested and a room set aside for viewing with staff. With a keen interest in the arts and a love of the natural world, she choose a number of items themed around nature, a large William Morris samples book, rolls of ornate textiles and a musical instrument for the private moment. More than 500,000 creative works, from individual items to whole collections like the Glastonbury festival archive, are stored at the site, the majority of the V&A's collection. Kate, patron of the V&A, told its deputy director and chief operating officer Tim Reeve 'it's so eclectic' as they stood in a huge space housing objects around them adding: 'It's all part of the process of displaying and curating.' The princess wore a smart trouser suit for the visit to the storehouse in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and wore stiletto heels despite the attraction's website advising on flat shoes as the 'metal grid flooring is not suitable for stilettos or kitten heels'. Mr Reeve said later about Kate: 'It's clear today she really loves the idea of what we're trying to do, show that back-of-house world and to be a member of the public seeing that behind-the-scenes experience is what this is about. 'She's obviously fortunate to see quite a bit of the back-of-house world, but I think she really understood today that she was sharing it with the public, everyone is seeing the same space, everyone has that privileged access to our collection.' Commenting on the items Kate had asked to be shown, he added: 'I did have a look at what was laid out, and some amazing things as always, an amazing musical instrument, there's lots of stuff that's related to nature. 'One of the things I saw that she'll be super interested in is this big William Morris fabric sample book, it's an enormous thing and you can sort of flick through.' Items stored at the site include a drum kit used by Keith Moon, former drummer with The Who, examples of Queen Elizabeth II's dresses designed by Norman Hartnell, and from September David Bowie's archive, donated by his estate, will be available. She began her visit by viewing with V&A director Tristram Hunt a table, wardrobe and corner cupboard designed by art historian and artist Roger Fry, who influenced the Bloomsbury artists, and made by his Omega Workshops. Later Kate put on a purple rubber glove to handle a 19th century female riding habit – skirt, waistcoat and jacket – and marvelled at its red colour as she touched its lining and was also shown an Alexander McQueen dress coat. Photographer Sarah Duncan talked Kate through the process of taking an image of ballet shoes worn by Alicia Markova, when she danced the lead role in the 1934 production of Giselle, and was told 'you want scratches to shine' as the image would document the item. In another part of the building, the princess chatted to Christina Juan, lecturer and head of the Philippines department at the School of Oriental and African Studies, who happened to be in the room next to Kate's private viewing and was examining delicate fabrics from the Philippines. The lecturer was studying turban scarves from the 1850s and said later: 'I told her they were made from banana leaves. She was just surprised at the sheerness of the cloth and asked was it still made.' She said about the process of seeing the items: 'It's amazing I can just go online and order – it's very easy, like ordering an Uber.'

Love Island fans call Islander a ‘red flag' as he makes shock dating admission
LOVE Island fans are raising red flags after new Islander Connor Phillips made a jaw-dropping dating confession. The pro rugby-playing Irishman, 25, admitted he's only had one relationship experience - and fans argue it doesn't even count. 5 Helena Ford chose to couple up with Connor in the first episode of Love Island 2025, after reading just his dating profile. As the pair got to know each other, Connor's lack of relationships raised alarms for Helena and viewers watching. Connor confessed: "To be honest, yeah, I've only had one girlfriend." Helena asked: "How long was that?" Helena couldn't resist laughing in his face, then asking: "How did it last eight weeks?" He added: "We were seeing each other for a while, but she was only my girlfriend for eight weeks. "And I think it's been two years since then, and I've grown a lot. So yeah, I feel like I'm kind of a bit ready now." But fans think this is a major red flag and it sparked a frenzy on X (formerly Twitter) as one said: "EIGHT WEEKS?? Oh Connor". Another added: "Only my girlfriend for 8 weeks". Love Island's TWO hunky new bombshells REVEALED A third penned: "Babe that does not count as a relationship #loveisland". Also in the episode, Conor's said he is looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman". When it comes to turn offs, he added: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. "I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." However, Connor broke the show rules before he even entered the villa, after he'd revealed he sought advice from past winner Greg O'Shea. Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before it starts. Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill. Conor shared: "I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island. "He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get. "So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'. "So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long. "So I feel like I'm maybe doing something wrong or maybe I'm not in the right places. "So, hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one." 5 5 5

Leaving Cert Irish Paper 2 'very manageable' with no surprises at either level
The Leaving Cert Irish Paper 2 will have had students breathing a sigh of relief, according to Irish teacher at Moyle Park College, Dublin, Stephen Doyle. The Studyclix subject expert said that there is "no doubt" the paper would have been well received. Advertisement 'The two reading comprehensions were well chosen - the first text focused on Rory Gallagher and music while the second passage about Sport in Ireland was very relevant and easy to relate to," Mr Doyle said. "Both were very manageable. The grammar threw up no surprises while the 6b questions were a bit more specific than in previous years. "A sigh of relief could be heard as the long awaited Hurlamaboc made an appearance in the prose section. Students were expecting it last year but it didn't appear; thankfully this year it did. Students had an option between Hurlamaboc and Oisín i dTír na nÓg with the questions being very straightforward with no surprises. 'Again students would have been happy with the choice of poems in the poetry section. An Spailpín Fánach and Colscaradh appeared on this year's paper. There were no difficult or tricky questions. Any student who had prepared these poems will be very happy with the questions asked." Advertisement The final section of the paper, Litríocht Breise, offered "good variety and plenty of choice," according to Mr Doyle. "The question on An Trial and A thig Ná Tit orm was straightforward and focused on the case of the main character. While the questions on Gafa and Canary Wharf focused on the relationships between the characters," he said. 'This paper rewarded students who had studied their texts well and could write clearly about what they had learned. Students will be happy with this one.' The "student-friendly" Ordinary Level Paper 2 also had no surprise questions, Mr Doyle added, and it covered the basics well. "The reading comprehensions focused on the Olympics and the Phoenix Park (nature), topics that were accessible and relatable for students. The prose section offered a choice between Dís, Oisín i dTír na nÓg and Hurlamaboc, which was expected and gave students good options," he said. 'The poetry section included Mo Ghrá-sa, An tEarrach Thiar and Colscaradh, with straightforward questions that tested students' understanding of the main themes and content. There were no surprise questions. Overall, this paper provided ordinary level students with plenty of opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge successfully.'
