But it seems the pair could be working things out, as Dan made his feelings clear by publicly commenting on Jacqueline's latest sizzling Instagram snap.

It comes just days after the pair looked close as they cosied up to one another at a friends' wedding. In a snap shared by a friend over the weekend, it looks as thought the couple are back on as Jacqueline wrapped her arm around her husband's arm. The pair were seen sharing a carriage as they rode a roller coaster in wedding attire with a number of other guests. Both Jacqueline and Dan had cheesy grins on their faces for the snap ahead of the ride, as they enjoyed their friends' big day. A week ago, was all smiles as she supported partner Dan at his Sellebrity Soccer match at Gillingham Football Club in a sign the couple were getting back on track.

Styling her long dark tresses loose, she was spotted chatting away to friends ahead of the match before enjoying a cold beverage. But the proud display came just four days after the couple seemingly dropped hints about problems in their marriage in cryptic Instagram posts shared hours apart. In an attempt to save their relationship, the couple jetted off on a 'make or break' family holiday in Mexico last month. Despite the loved-up PDA trip in the idyllic destination, Jacqueline and Dan have hinted at trouble in paradise in a series of troubling posts.

Hours after, Jacqueline further sparked concern as she admitted she 'misses the little bubble of happiness' from a recent trip away.

'Miss the sound of the sea and the quiet that's not actually quiet but you hear the kids in the pool as they lay there. Bliss. 'Miss the little bubble of happiness that nothing effects. I don't even miss the sun like I used to (used to love to sunbath) now I can't sit in it too long it's the time. 'Time is so important [sic].' While she didn't reveal what holiday she wishes to go back too, her latest trip away was with husband Dan and their children.

'They believe they'll make excellent co-parents but they want Jac - and Dan - to be as happy as possible, and they're not convinced that means them staying together.'

Here come the boys... As Dior picks British man as its top designer, just ONE of the leading fashion houses is now led by women
British designer Jonathan Anderson has been announced as the creative director of Christian Dior womenswear, finally confirming the worst kept secret in fashion and ending its longest game of musical chairs. Although if you want to have a seat at fashion's top table, you need more than a chair. Increasingly, it seems, you also need to be a man. Already head of Dior menswear since April, Anderson replaces outgoing designer Maria Grazia Chiuri as head of womenswear – leaving British designer Sarah Burton, creative director at Givenchy, as the only female heading up one of the 14 couture houses. After Virginie Viard left her position as head of Chanel last year, she was replaced by Matthieu Blazy, and only last month Dario Vitale took over Versace after Donatella stepped down. Of more concern than Anderson's gender, however, is whether he's man enough to rise to the challenge of designing 18 collections a year. As creative director, he will oversee four Dior womenswear collections per year, as well as four more for menswear. He's also charged with designing two haute couture collections a year, his first time at turning his hand to fashion's most demanding level of craftsmanship. But Anderson, 40, also helms his own label, JW Anderson, which demands six collections a year, as well as the two collections he's contracted to design for Uniqlo. Only Karl Lagerfeld has managed such a prolific output. Clearly Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of luxury behemoth LVMH, which owns Dior, has faith in Anderson. In Monday's statement announcing the move, Arnault described the softly spoken Northern Irishman with a prodigious work ethic as 'one of the greatest creative talents of his generation'. Indeed, not since Christian Dior himself has the house been united under one creative vision. Unusually for a fashion designer, Anderson is as good at marketing as he is at making clothes. Like Lagerfeld, he is a polymath, as interested in art, literature and film as fashion. It's this cross-cultural pollination that makes Anderson so valuable. During 11 years at Loewe, the house he helmed before Dior, revenues soared from around 200million euros (£169million) to more than 1.5billion euros (£1.27billion). Thanks to a knack for creating a buzz on social media, Anderson ensured a cultural reach that went far beyond fashion. With sales at LVMH down 5 per cent, a lot is resting on Anderson's midas touch. But he has some loyal teams to help him. It's just as well: his first Dior menswear collection is to be unveiled in just 24 days' time on June 27. His first womenswear show follows on October 1 at Paris Fashion Week. Forget cracking open the champagne: it might be time to open the Red Bull.
