“Touchy feely” Dan parties with other women

Chatting to a string of women on a night out, Dan Osborne tells bystanders it’s definitely over between him and wife Jacqueline Jossa

Any hopes of a reconcilia­tion between Jacqueline Jossa and her estranged husband Dan Osborne could well be dashed after he was pictured without his wedding ring, cosying up to several women in a bar.

Onlookers at Neighbourh­ood bar in Manchester have told Closer that Dan, 26 – whose heavily pregnant wife Jacqueline was, as Closer went to press, days away from giving birth – downed shots and was “touchy feely” with a group of girls.

FEMALE ATTENTION

One eyewitness told us, “Despite previous reports that their separation is temporary, Dan was miles away from home with his wedding ring firmly off, downing shots and lapping up female attention. He was telling anyone who would listen that him and Jacqueline are over, and that he felt she’d even stalled his career by making him turn down job offers, including a lucrative fitness job in America.”

Former Eastenders star Jacqueline, 25 – who was also snapped without her wedding ring last week – initially revealed they were working through their problems after news of their split first broke earlier this month. Although reports later surfaced she’d messaged a girl on social media demanding “the truth” about rumours she’d slept with Dan.

Dan was also seen moving his belongings out of the family home, though the pair have since been snapped with their daughter Ella, three, and Dan’s son Teddy, four, from his relationsh­ip with ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin. In 2014, Dan suffered a bitter falling out with Megan after he allegedly threatened to stab her in a series of recorded conversati­ons. Shortly afterwards, she taunted then-pregnant Jacqueline in a string of social media posts.

“WILD PARTY MODE”

Following the night in Manchester, Dan was spotted partying with Calum Best and Jamie O’hara in a bar in London. After Calum dubbed him his “wingman” on Instagram, a fan wrote, “I’m sure his pregnant wife is delighted he’s being a wingman for you”. Dan replied, “People are so judgmental. Jesus get a grip! Men with pregnant wives are allowed a life too and wingman is clearly banter, get over yourselves.”

The eyewitness adds, “Dan seemed to be in wild party mode at the bar launch, he was knocking back the booze and chatting with women. He wasn’t in the mood for stopping either, and went on to a couple more bars to carry on drinking.”
