Jacqueline Jossa announces she’s pregnant with her and husband Dan Osborne’s second child
JACQUELINE Jossa and husband Dan Osborne are expecting their second child together.
The couple married last summer and are already parents to Ella, two, and Dan has a four-year-old son Teddy from a previous relationship.
The EastEnders actress said the news was a "huge shock" and she took three pregnancy tests before she believed it was true.
She told OK! magazine: "We both started laughing when the test was positive."
Dan added: "We hadn't been trying so it was a huge shock. I think I'm still getting my head around it. Kids are a blessing but having three children is going to be a big responsibility.
"I'm not going to lie, I feel quite scared!"
Jacqueline revealed she's been suffering from morning sickness but she's excited to welcome baby number two.
She said: "I’ve been throwing up nearly every morning, which I’ve found hard because I didn’t have any sickness with Ella.
"I’ve been thinking a lot about how I could possibly love this child as much as Ella, but I Googled it and saw a lovely saying – mothers don’t
halve their love, they double it. That put my mind at rest a bit."
They also haven't decided if they'll find out the baby's sex beforehand as Dan explained: "We found out with Ella but we’re not sure this time. I’d really like to know but Jacqueline’s on the fence".
Jacqueline added: "I don’t deal very well with surprises so it would be better for me to find out, but at the same time I think it would be nice to wait.
"Neither of us mind if it’s a boy or a girl but for Ella’s sake I think it would be nice for her to have a sister."
They also declared that this will be their last child, even if it means Dan having a vasectomy.
Jacqueline said: "I always wanted two kids so this is perfect. Daniel might have to book in for the snip because there’s no way I’m having more!"
Dan is very much a doting dad and just last week he got a huge tattoo of his children on his leg.
The 26-year-old has a number of inkings on his body already, but took to Instagram to show off his latest body art.
The star has had an image of his two children holding hands at his wedding to EastEnders actress Jacqueline last year tattooed on his leg.
While Ella wears a pretty white flower girl dress and carries a small bouquet of flowers, a smiling Teddy can be seen in a blue suit and grey waistcoat.
Dan captioned the shot: ";HUGE thank you to @davidcorden for tattooing my babies on my leg!"
Meanwhile, Jacqueline has left EastEnders after seven years and had her last day on set earlier this month.
She joined the cast of EastEnders in 2010. The actress left in 2015 to have baby Ella, and returned in May last year.
Fans have seen her character battle the booze, run over and injure dad Max, have a fling with cousin Joey and a tot with Peter Beale.
The plotlines saw her win Best Newcomer gong at the 2012 National Television Awards.
The actress has previously revealed she "cried" when she heard he'd character was being axed.
She said: "It wasn't our decision but we kind of knew ages ago. We had a feeling."
The 25-year-old is thought to be worried about her future but husband Dan insisted she would be back on screens soon.
He added: "Work is important to her so she will soon have things lined up once she's out of contract."
