LET PAIR EXCHANGE MESSAGES

- TV SOURCE ON HOW EXECS HANDLED CRISIS

DAN Osbourne is flying to Australia in a bid to shore up his marriage to former EastEnder Jacqueline Jossa.

He posted a video yesterday from the plane saying: “We’re coming Jac Jossa,” with a love heart.

It has emerged Jacqueline has been allowed to send messages to him from the jungle over allegation­s he got close to Love Island contestant Gabby Allen.

Jacqueline, 27, is second favourite to win I’m A Celebrity but was close to quitting last week after chatting with campmate Myles Stephenson about Dan’s ex, Gabby.

Photos in April last year showed Gabby and Dan partying on a boat in Marbella, although ex-Towie star Dan insists they are just friends.

Gabby said she has told Jacqueline that nothing happened.

Comments from X Factor winner Myles about his ex Gabby and Dan are thought to have caused Jacqueline to ask bosses to speak to him.

A TV source said: “Execs felt it was appropriat­e to allow her to contact Dan but this was done through sending messages and

there was no direct contact in terms of a conversati­on on the phone. It was a delicate balance in terms of giving Jacqueline peace of mind so she didn’t walk out of the show but also not bending the rules too much compared to the other contestant­s.

“We have the contestant­s welfare as our priority. This felt like the right thing to do. Dan is on his way so they’ll be able to talk more and clear the air when she comes out of the jungle.”

Jacqueline and Dan got together in 2014 and married in June 2017. They

OLD FLAMES Gabby Allen & Myles Stephenson have split up several times including while she was pregnant with their second child in May 2018. In March there were claims Dan had kissed another Love Island star, Alexandra Cane, 28. He denied it on Instagram.

After the cheating rumours, all of which Dan denies, Jacqueline has taken him back. They share daughters, Ella, four, and one-year-old Mia, and Jacqueline is stepmum to

Dan’s son Teddy, five. She

MARRIED Dan Osbourne and Jacqueline is not wearing her wedding ring although a source insists this is because it was loose. She said on the eve of the ITV show starting that she wanted to prove she was “not a doormat”.

She said: “I feel I’m often the one that looks like I’m a victim. And I want to show I’m actually really strong.”

Dan has been publicly supporting her, wearing matching Team Jac tops with their children.

Her family also hope the marriage will last. Sister Katrina said: “We’re happy if Jacqueline is happy. Everything seems great.” Viewers have picked up on her getting close to Myles. One said on Dan’s Instagram: “You gutted everyone is rooting for Myles n Jacqueline to get together???”

Dan said: “Find it funny... she wouldn’t be attracted to Myles even if she was single, no kids, no nothing lol. He can try all he wants, bless.”

Medic Bob McCarron said being in the jungle causes celebs to analyse their lives. He said: “You can get very vindictive or you can calm down.”

Andy Whyment Happy for others getting a roast meal. Generous and a joker.

Great effort in the Trial. Finally got involved in a positive way.

Caitlyn Jenner Very calm in camp when some others are close to losing it.

Can’t blame him for talking to pic of his wife, given the alternativ­es.

Adele Roberts Great effort to win After Eights for the camp. Probably not the first out now.

Quiet – she needs more action to make it to the finals.

Myles Stephenson Took four trips to the dunny... his chances of winning are down the toilet.

Left screaming after prank from others, but took it in good spirits.

Jacqueline Jossa Has stuck it out when things are tough in the real world.

Didn’t have much to do, but at this stage that is probably music to his ears.

James Haskell Talked down to Andy when he asked about the roast meal. Not on.

Gave his Dingo Dollar Challenge to Adele. Not exactly teamwork!
