The REAL reason behind Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne's shock split after eight years of marriage as EastEnders star steps out for first time without her wedding ring


Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne split after the former TOWIE star purchased a property without his wife's knowledge, MailOnline can reveal.

The EastEnders actress, 32, was left in shock after discovering Dan, 33, had bought a house in Southend, Essex, last year, which put additional pressure on their strained relationship. A source told MailOnline that Dan, who's also a father to son Teddy, 11, with ex-partner Megan Tomlin, wanted to 'protect' himself and invest in somewhere to live for his own security as his relationship with Jacqueline gradually declined. The former I'm A Celeb winner, who returned to EastEnders as Lauren Branning in 2023, proudly shared videos on her profile where she took her fans on a tour of the property, showing off a bar area with light-up 'The Osborne's' sign.
