Jacqueline Jossa hits back at online trolls who claimed she was pregnant

Eastenders star Jacqueline Jossa has hit out at online trolls who attacked her over her weight after suggesting she looked pregnant with her second child.

The 24-year-old actress, who recently returned to Albert Square after giving birth to her daughter Ella, has revealed she endures vicious body shaming comments on social media.

Showing that she’s as feisty as her fictional character, Jacqueline has fired back with a message of her own for the keyboard warriors, and also revealed her and ex TOWIE star Dan Osbourne have finally set a wedding date. Yippee!

Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, she said: “Nowadays you have to go on Twitter to see what people like and what people don’t like. If someone makes a fair comment then I’ll think ‘OK, cool, that’s what they think.’

“But I try not to pay attention to comments about the way I look. I’ve had people saying, ‘She looks pregnant again, maybe she is having baby number two.’ I’d like those people to know I’m not having another baby. So screw you.”

This year, the brunette beauty scooped the award for Sexiest Female at the Inside Soap Awards, beating Corrie’s Kym Marsh and Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe, which she admitted made her feel like a real yummy mummy.

She gushed: “Most people pretend they’re embarrassed by it, but I f***ing love it! Winning an award for being sexy means quite a lot when you’ve had a baby and you’re not confident any more. It was a shock and I was so happy.”

Speaking of wedding plans, she added: “We’ve got a date, which means I’ve finally got a vision of what I want the day to be like. I’m really happy and I can’t wait.”

Jacqueline and Dan started dating in 2013 before briefly splitting and reuniting the following year; the loved-up pair then announced their engagement four months later in June.

The couple share daughter Ella, while Dan also has son Teddy from a previous relationship.
