Jacqueline Jossa and Natalie Cassidy look worlds away from Albert Square as they party on night out with EastEnders cast
JACQUELINE Jossa was spotted letting her hair down on a night out in London with her EastEnders co-stars.
The Lauren Branning actress, 32, looked stylish in a white cropped jacket paired with a black skintight top and pale blue jeans.
Jacqueline, who returned to the BBC soap back in 2023, finished off her look with a white handbag slung over her forearm.
She styled her brunette locks poker straight and kept her make-up fresh as she attended the final Strictly Come Dancing live show at The O2 Arena.
Mum of two Jac was seen arriving at the North Greenwich venue alongside Clair Norris, 27, who plays Bernadette Taylor.
Clair wrapped up in a chunky green coat and carried a black clutch as she was spotted deep in conversation.
Natalie Cassidy, 41 – who recently revealed she was quitting her role as EastEnders legend Sonia Fowler – followed up close behind.
She was seen in a floor-length black dress with chunky boots, and a jacket thrown over the top.
The bunch were spotted enjoying ice cream and waffles before heading inside for the show, featuring stars from the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 season.
HOME LIFE
Jacqueline’s night out with her pals came after she addressed split rumours surrounding her marriage with Dan Osborne.
She told The Sun how a traumatic burglary last summer was the catalyst for changing her whole attitude and making her reassess what is important in her life – her family.
It also helped her decide that she’d had enough of explaining what is going on in her marriage to husband of nearly eight years, Dan, 33.
They’ve been together for more than a decade and have been dogged by split rumours since before they got married.
Recently, the whispers were over news the couple were selling their forever home in Essex, with the former TOWIE star buying a separate property in his name.
But the pair insist they’re still together and are just reassessing their assets.
“People seem to think they know more about my life than I do,” she sighs.
“They were saying: ‘Jacqueline didn’t spend Christmas with Daniel.’ But all I have to do is post pictures of us together with Christmas hats on.
“We lie in bed next to each other, laughing and reading stuff online about us.
“The speculation is ridiculous, but at the same time, I know it comes with the job, so I do understand it. I read things about Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan and go: ‘Really? Is that true?’ But I’m sure they are happy. It’s not my business what other people think or want to read.
“But apart from me being back on EastEnders, I haven’t put myself out there in that space. I haven’t done any reality shows recently and neither has Dan.
“I’m constantly working, and so is he [Dan runs an online competition website and a tattoo studio]. We just crack on with our day jobs and looking after our kids. He is a fantastic dad. I’m done going on to social media trying to explain it.”
