Jacqueline Jossa: My marriage is having ups and downs

Jacqueline Jossa has admitted her marriage is experiencing some "ups and downs".
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress is currently estranged her from husband, Dan Osborne, but insists he will be at the birth of their second child, and admitted he is an "amazing dad".
She said: "These things happen. Marriages have ups and downs and mine’s no different.
"He’ll be at the birth, of course. He’s an amazing dad."
The 25-year-old star, who has three-year-old daughter Ella with Dan, is due to give birth in the coming weeks, and is planning to have therapy after her pregnancy.
She said: "I think, all too often, we go to the doctors if we hurt ourselves physically but we don’t look after our brains or our hearts that much.
"Everyone should have therapy – I’ll probably have it after I’ve had the baby.
"I’m pretty good at not getting stressed. All my friends say, ‘You just bottle it up’, but I actually don’t.
"Maybe I’ve just got a really thick skin but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, I get on with things and stay calm."
Jacqueline likes chill out by taking a bath and finds it relaxing to talk to herself while she is enjoying a soak.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "My bath’s my calm place and, although it sounds crazy, I talk to myself there.
"I’ll talk through my day and, if I’m angry, I’ll play out an argument or conversation in my head, which releases all the pent-up anger."
Jacqueline recently admitted she and Dan were not "getting on at the moment", but admitted she wanted him at the birth of their child.
She said: "People want to comment on your marriage, but they don’t actually know what is happening – only we know. People shouldn’t jump to any conclusions and I’m in the last few weeks of my pregnancy so I don’t need the stress.
"Dan will be with me [when she delivers]. I’m going to stick to who I had last time, so I just had my mum and Daniel. I might have Daniel’s mum, it just depends where we all are."
