Jacqueline throws herself into body blitz

Mum-of-two Jacqueline Jossa is feeling better than ever as she begins a health kick for the first time – and is back to a good place after a rocky ride during lockdown

It’s been a whirlwind year for Jacqueline Jossa since she was crowned queen of the jungle on I’m A Celeb… She’s been inundated with lucrative business opportunit­ies, helped design multiple sold-out fashion lines and is even tipped to star on this year’s Strictly.

But last month, the busy mum-of-two realised it was time “to start doing a bit for me”, telling fans that eating well and exercising more was her priority.

HEALTH KICK

Now she’s thrown herself into a body blitz as she increases her workouts and uses a pre-ordered healthy eating meal service to avoid temptation­s.

She recently revealed her “whole body” was aching following a particular­ly tough workout and posted a pic of herself tucking into a diet meal of salmon and broccoli, eaten directly from the packaging.

She wrote, “I know I should have probably put it on a plate, but I’m really, really tired, I’ve had a really long couple of days, my whole body aches.

“All will be revealed but… just know that I am seriously dead. And now, I’m tucking into some peri-peri salmon with broccoli and, honestly, it’s stunning.”

Jacqueline revealed she orders diet meals as “a way of keeping on top of eating healthy, less snacky bits and less take-outs”.

Explaining the reason behind her health kick, Jacqueline, 27, said, “I’m having those thoughts of I need to start doing a bit for me and I’m going to try and go for walks and maybe do some exercise.”

She added, “Workwise I’m feeling good. I’m busy, I’m on the ball and I just want to maintain that. I feel like getting on the ball with it [exercise] now, it’s got to be done.”

But she’s insisted her diet and fitness regime isn’t about losing weight, although “she wouldn’t mind it”, but more “for the mind”.

And it’s having a positive impact on her relationsh­ip with husband Dan Osborne. The couple have been uploading hilarious videos of each other on Instagram and even took part in a fun TikTok challenge together.

HOLIDAY FUN

Last week, she and former TOWIE star Dan, 29, enjoyed a family holiday with daughters Ella, five, Mia, one, as well as Dan’s six-year-old son Teddy from a previous relationsh­ip.

Proving her relationsh­ip is in “a good place” after years of cheating claims being made against Dan – with her husband admitting last month that he had made mistakes – Jacqueline posted a loved-up photo of the pair prior to their getaway. She wrote, “No one needs to understand but us”, followed by a heart emoji, to which Dan replied, “I love you.”
