Who is Jacqueline Jossa? I'm A Celebrity finalist aiming for jungle crown

It's often said that you know Christmas is round the corner when I'm A Celebrity starts, well now it's very nearly over so the big day is even closer.

The past three weeks have whizzed by as this year's I'm A Celebrity campmates have kept us thoroughly entertained in the jungle.

And someone who has lasted the course is Jacqueline Jossa. Who can forget that sweaty palm inducing first challenge which saw her walk along a plank 300ft in the air?!

Since then, Jacqueline has thrown herself into everything jungle life has to offer and, although at one point she reached breaking point after being voted to do consecutive Bushtucker Trials, she didn't walk and is now in contention to win the show, alongside fellow finalists Andy Whyment and Roman Kemp.

Who is Jacqueline Jossa?

Born in Bexley on October 29, 1992, Jacqueline is an English actress best known for playing Lauren Branning in Eastenders.

Jacqueline's character was at the heart of some dark storylines in Albert Square, including a battle with alcoholism and the dramatic Christmas Day 2017 storyline which saw Lauren and sister Abi plunge from the roof of the Queen Vic after an argument with dad Max.

Although Lauren survived, Jacqueline quit the BBC soap and her final scenes in Eastenders aired in February 2018.

In her personal life, Jacqueline is married to former TOWIE cast member Dan Osborne and the couple have two daughters together - Ella and Mia.
