Daytime show Loose Women launched a 25-hour Talkathon which came to an end on Friday, December 6 and during the event the panel was joined by a host of big names

The set of ITV’s Loose Women was gatecrashed by some famous names, including one of the most famous musicians on the planet, during a show ‘first’.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joined the panel for its first-ever 25-hour Talkathon to urge the nation to ‘get talking’ about mental health issues. The event, which started on Thursday, December 5 and concluded during the usual show on Friday, December 6, was part of Loose Women’s 25th birthday celebrations and in support of ITV and STV’s Britain Get Talking campaign, which has sparked over 200 million conversations so far.

Ruth Langsford brought the Talkathon to an end on Friday by thanking everyone who had supported the event which was broadcast on ITVX between the launch show and the finale. There had been a rolling list of presenters and guests including Chris Martin.

On Thursday evening the panel was joined by Charlene White, who announced she had some surprise guests – before returning with Chris Martin and chef Jamie Oliver. Both also shared their own advice on what they do to look after their own mental health.

Earlier in the show, Olivia Attwood Dack joined Christine Lampard, Kelle Bryan and Katie Piper to share the wise saying her nan and mum passed on and explains how the meaning of love has changed for her over the years: “Never date the wrong person because you can fall in love with anyone.”

First thing on Friday morning, Loose Woman panellist Coleen Nolan swapped studios to join fellow ITV Daytime show Good Morning Britain, as hosts Kate Garraway and Rob Rinder shared their support for the Loose Women.

Speaking to them live, Coleen shared how she is finding the epic challenge so far. Responding to Kate asking “You must be shattered?” Coleen joked: “I actually don’t know where I am. I am so tired but I am so happy to see fresh faces!”

Coleen also revealed how the Talkathon has allowed her to get to know her fellow Loose Women even better, she said: “Because there has been no real restrictions over the 25-hour period, and we’re after the watershed, we’ve been able to have longer on topics and we’ve really opened up a lot about ourselves. Janet was really surprising. She really opened up and normally she is quite guarded with it, but she let the guard down

Coleen continued: “Men do find it hard to talk and we’ve discussed every topic possible over the last 20 odd hours and already the reaction has been really good.”

Discussing the unexpected visit and support from Chris Martin and Jamie Oliver, Coleen said of Chris: “He writes things he has been worried about or things he may be angry about and he writes them all down and gets it all out of his system and then he can carry on his day or go to sleep at night because he doesn’t keep it all here [in his head], he writes it all down. He’s actually amazing.”

Noel Fielding worried fans when he pulled out of a second series of The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin but he is now back on our screens for the charity version of Bake Off

Noel Fielding is back on our screens tonight, presenting the new series of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer alongside Alison Hammond, following concerns about his health at the beginning of the year.

Noel and Alison are joined by Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood and Caroline Waldegrave, standing in for Prue Leith, who has decided to concentrate on the main Bake Off series in the summer. Among the celebrities trying to hide their soggy bottoms and baking failures are podcasters Chris and Rosie Ramsey, Loose Women’s Gloria Hunniford, DJ and presenter Roman Kemp, presenter Sarah Beeny, Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway and actress Maxine Peake.

In the first episode, Noel returned to co-star Alison’s side as they welcomed Chris and Rosie Ramsey as well as Scarlette and Stuart Douglas into the tent. Noel showed off his classic humour as they introduced Prue’s replacement, Caroline. He quipped: “To be honest I thought Prue had forgotten her glasses again.”

Fans loved having Noel back as one said: “This episode of #GBBO has been SO much fun, I love Alison and Noel together.” Another cracked up over Noel’s joke as they commented: “Noel comparing Chris’s Chocolate fingers to Paul’s,” followed by a laugh crying emoji.

Noel wasn’t at the Celebrity Bake Off launch earlier this week, despite the presence of Alison, Paul, Caroline and all 20 contestants, but it has been confirmed that he will be returning to film the new edition of The Great British Bake Off this year, as the Mirror exclusively revealed on Friday. A spokeswoman told the Mirror that Noel’s position on Bake Off had never been in doubt. “We had never claimed that Noel would not present Bake Off,” she said. “He will indeed be part of the team.”

Concerns for Noel’s health were raised when filming on the second series of his Apple TV+ drama The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin was cancelled in January after filming had been disrupted to the point where bosses felt it was no longer viable.

He did not return to the show – on which he was also a co-writer and executive producer – after the Christmas break, forcing the second series to be scrapped mid-way through production. For his second time of playing the legendary 18th century highwayman Noel is said to have been accompanied on set by a “fatigue coach” who had the role of balancing the time that he spent filming scenes.

An initial plan to try and salvage a shorter version from what had already been filmed has now been abandoned. “There is nothing possible – we’d filmed everything apart from him. But you can’t do a drama about Dick Turpin without Dick Turpin,” an insider said. Since the multi-million pound production ended, Noel has been resting in a bid to fully recover his health – both at home in London and at a holiday pad in France.

At the time of the show’s cancellation, Noel’s spokesperson said: “This is a private and confidential matter regarding our client’s health. We are saddened by the decision to cease production but we cannot make any further comment on this matter.”

Noel rose to fame for his starring role in the quirky, offbeat comedy The Mighty Boosh, which aired on the BBC from 2004 to 2007. He has also had smaller roles in comedy shows such as Nathan Barley, The It Crowd, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Protection star Siobhan Finneran has managed to keep her personal life out of the spotlight, although she is rumoured to be in a relationship with Death In Paradise’s Don Gilet

Happy Valley star Siobhan Finneran returns to our screens this Sunday in the new ITV police drama Protection, and it is believed she is in a relationship with a star whose hit detective show is currently on BBC One on Friday nights.

Siobhan plays DI Liz Nyles in the police drama, an officer who works in the witness protection department, shielding those who have given evidence against criminals and are then hidden in safe houses. However, she realises one of her team could be leaking information when there is a murder at one of the safe houses, and as DCI Hannah Wheatley (Katherine Kelly) arrives to look into possible corruption of the unit, Liz starts her own investigation. She focuses on her younger, married colleague DS Paul Brandice (Barry Ward), who she has been having a secret affair with.The actress, 58, who is best known for her roles as Miss O’Brien in Downton Abbey and Clare in Happy Valley, learnt a lot about witness protection in preparation for her role. “Before the series, I knew the basics: people get moved to safe houses and then they’re looked after. I didn’t realise it became such a relationship between those people,” she says. “Looking back, I suppose this was naive because the witnesses have to feel comfortable enough to tell the officer everything.

“That said, I don’t think anybody really knows about it, because it’s all hidden away, as it should be. I know that, within the police force, it’s a very separate unit: all their cars are leased to different private companies so you can’t trace people, and so on. It’s not a job I’d ever even think about doing. What do you talk to your neighbours about over the garden fence?

Away from TV, Siobhan keeps her personal life as private as her character’s on screen. In the late 90s, Siobhan got married to Emmerdale actor Mark Jordon and the two went on to welcome two children, Poppy and Jordan, together. They both slowed down with their acting roles in order to raise their lovely family. However, the two parted ways in 2014 and Mark, now 57, went on to tie the knot with Emmerdale star Laura Norton.

More recently, however, Siobhan has been making headlines for her connection with Death In Paradise star Don Gilet, who plays DI Mervin Wilson. Although they’ve kept mum about their dalliance, they were seen hand-in-hand at the TV Choice Awards last year, and Siobhan even called Don “my fella” during a natter with The Guardian.

A touching Christmas gift from Don to Siobhan was a book of Rudi Hurzlmeier’s art, proof of the thoughtful bond shared between them. Siobhan couldn’t help but share a laugh about a quirky piece of art that turned into an unexpected Christmas present from her beau. “It’s a picture of a nun looking in a shoe shop, and a bloke next to her has got his hand on her bum. I showed it to Don [Gilet], my fella, and now one of my Christmas presents is a book of Hurzlmeier’s work

The duo previously shared the screen in ITV’s 2017 drama The Loch – with Don playing psychological profiler Blake Albrighton and Siobhan starring as DCI Lauren Quigley.

EastEnders fans said that Phil Mitchell’s mental health battle is ‘the most powerful, moving’ storyline they’ve seen, and the BBC soap is highlighting his journey in a Comic Relief special

EastEnders will air a special one-off feature focusing on Phil Mitchell, focusing on the heartbreaking issues he’s been dealing with over the last few months. Phil, played by Steve McFadden, has been struggling with his mental health in recent episodes, showing a different layer to the brash character we came to know.

Last month, after an emotional reflection through Phil’s childhood and the current state of his wellbeing, we even saw him attempt to take his own life after suffering through a psychotic episode.

The BBC soap is giving extra focus to Phil and his battle, and will air an exclusive five-minute episode with Comic Relief on Red Nose Day – Friday March 21 – to highlight the complexities of mental health issues and Phil’s own journey to find treatment.

In the episode, the broadcaster shared that following Phil’s harrowing experience aired during the EastEnders 40th anniversary week, he will be shown seeking the help he needs at a mental health unit.

While there, the soap stalwart will meet another patient named Andy – who has also experienced homelessness – and have an opportunity to bond and open up in a way he hasn’t done before.

EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw stated how important Phil’s journey was, sharing: “We’re thrilled to be working alongside Comic Relief and Brandon Centre as we continue to explore the complex realities of Phil’s journey with mental health. Whilst seeking treatment, Phil and Andy quickly realise they have more in common than they first anticipated.”

The CEO of Comic Relief, Samir Patel, also shared in a statement: “Comic Relief has a long and proud history of supporting incredible organisations who are delivering vital work to help tackle homelessness and the ongoing mental health crisis.

“We are extremely grateful to EastEnders and Brandon Centre for their work in helping to create this powerful and poignant film that will resonate with so many. Together with your support this Red Nose Day, we can help ensure support just like this is available to those who need it the most right here in the UK and around the world.

Fans were incredibly moved by Phil’s gut-wrenching journey in his recent story arc, and praised the show, writers, and acting for highlighting such an important issue.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, one person wrote: “Tonight’s #eastenders is pure cinema. Phil Mitchell’s agony, struggle and emotion is completely heartbreaking. Give Steve McFadden all the awards, and an MBE.”

A second fan shared after the character’s attempt to take his own life: “Watched today’s episode.. One of the most powerful moving episodes ever watched, Steve McFadden is arguably one of the greatest actors of all time, his portrayal of mental health/psychosis is incredible.. Well done to all involved can’t wait for next week #EastEnders.”

The new series of Tempting Fortune kicked off on Channel 4 with an explosive argument as Vicki and Sam rowed with Imani over her attitude to spending the prize pot

Tempting Fortune star Imani Evans has spoken out after the explosive argument that kicked off the Channel 4 competition’s latest series.

Tonight’s episode of Tempting Fortune saw Imani clash with fellow contestants Vicki and Sam over her comments on how she would happily spend money on temptations. After the tense row, Imani chose to give into the very first temptation on the first night – a sleep in a comfortable bed costing £1,200.

Speaking to The Mirror in an exclusive chat, Imani opened up about her divisive approach to the competition. “It was quite horrific for me, to be honest,” she said.

On becoming unpopular so early in the competition, Imani said: “I knew that was gonna be the case because I think when you have a lot of confidence and, and you’re able to stand alone, automatically people get their back up, especially if they don’t possess those qualities.

“So I knew that I wasn’t going to be the most popular with the decisions that I was making but I didn’t care. I didn’t go on there for popularity. I went on there for an incredible experience, and I’m the type of person where if someone ruffles my feathers, I’m going to ruffle back 10 times harder.”

Imani added that there’s even more drama to come from the series. “That’s literally the tip of the iceberg. It’s way more dramatic than that,” she said. “And me personally, I didn’t think that it could get worse because it was such a dramatic entrance. I’ve only been in the jungle for 5 minutes, and it was already fireworks.

“So I didn’t think it could get worse, but I’m not kidding when I tell you it gets 10 times worse and yes, I am involved with most of that.”

As for why she was happy to spend so much of the £300,000 prize pot, Imani said that she wanted to have the best experience possible on the show.

“I said that I went in there to have an amazing experience, but also to challenge myself, and that’s exactly what I did. I was always gonna take some temptations, but I was also gonna turn down some temptations,” she said.

“So I feel like I was very true to myself and people will see that. Exactly what I said I was gonna do is exactly what I did throughout and then obviously, in the beginning, I was taking the temptations because I just thought, if you guys are gonna be mean to me, then I’m literally going to make you pay for it in a very literal sense.”

She added: “I have no regrets about that. I wish I’d actually spent more, to be honest.”

Imani also opened up about her reality TV past, revealing that she took part in dating show Meet the Parents nearly ten years ago, hosted by Holly Willoughby. “I was on a dating show which was very interesting with Holly Willoughby,” she said. “It was called Meet the Parents. It was kind of like Blind Date but with your parents talking to the guy. It was absolutely hilarious, amazing. I didn’t end up getting the date with the guy, which I was fuming about because I just like to win. I didn’t really like him but I thought it would be fun to win the date.”

Stacey Solomon is currently on a break from ITV show Loose Women, as she prepares to give fans a personal insight into her home life with Joe Swash and her five children

Stacey Solomon’s Loose Women co-star has issued a response about the panellist’s success, amid her break from the ITV show.

Stacey, who first captured hearts on the X Factor with her singing talent and charming personality, is thought to be worth around £6million, due to her diversified career.

Her ventures have so far included; a book, fronting her award-winning show Sort Your Life Out, owning a brand, and securing numerous partnerships due to her social media popularity.

Katie Hind from the Daily Mail says while Stacey may come across as having a “ditzy demeanour”, she has a “clever and tough” business approach.

Furthermore, an unnamed colleague from Loose Women told the journalist that the 35-year-old star is “not to be messed with”.

Amid her break from Loose Women, Stacey is set to launch her brand new reality series in which fans can expect to see more of her personality.

Fans are already familiar with her life, which includes her various work projects all while mothering five children and being a wife to Joe Swash.

According to Stacey, viewers will get to see a “different side to our family’s fun and chaos” in the new series.

Announcing their new venture in a statement, she expressed enthusiasm for the year 2024, when she and Joe embarked on different projects.

She added: “It’s been so amazing and nerve-wracking all at the same time… And we just want to keep doing that in 2025, starting with Stacey & Joe!

“Working with the BBC and Optomen on Sort Your Life Out has been a dream come true, so this team just made sense.”

The presenter further revealed that the six-part series is set to air later this year, however a date is yet to be announced.

Joe chimed in: “We’ve been doing our best to keep this under wraps but we’re so glad we can finally tell all of you about Stacey And Joe.

“There will be the normal madness of a family with lots of kids, plenty of animals and two busy parents.”

Meanwhile, it’s still unclear when Stacey will return to Loose Women. Her last appearance was during the show’s 25-hour talkathon special last year.

Loose Women star Ruth Langsford announced the end of her marriage to her former This Morning co-host Eamonn Holmes in May and the topic of divorce was suddenly brought up during the latest episode of the ITV show

Loose Women made an abrupt cut to an ad break after Ruth Langsford appeared to make a subtle dig at ex Eamonn Holmes.

The TV presenter, 64, announced the end of her marriage to her former This Morning co-host Eamonn, 64, in May. The pair had been together for more than two decades and are parents to son Jack Holmes, 22, together.

During Tuesday’s (December 10) episode of the ITV hit chat show Ruth made a return to our TV screens alongside fellow co-stars Coleen Nolan, Kelly Holmes and Mariella Frostrup as they discussed a number of trending topics.

However it was one segment that caught Ruth’s attention as they had a debate on if they would ever make their adult children choose between their parents and their potential partner.

Mariella started off by saying: “I just think it’s madness. You know for a fact no matter what position you take in your child’s life if you intrunch yourself too deeply they are going to do the opposite thing anyway.”

She continued: “How on earth would the inclusion of someone in family life be worth the jeopardy of not talking to your child anymore, I just can’t imagine it.”

Coleen also shared her opinion as she explained: “I think it is important for parents to let their children find out for themselves and it might work out and they spend the rest of their lives together but it might be that they end up heartbroken and that’s when as a parent you step in.”

Talk soon turned to how divorced parents handle those type of situation and Ruth went on to admit: “I think it’s very selfish when you hear parents say well if they are divorced then I’m not coming to your wedding if he’s coming or if she is there and I just think it’s so selfish isn’t it because it is their day.”

Mariella jumped in and said: “That’s a whole other subject isn’t it? How to divorce well.”

Ruth made a cheeky quip at her recent split from Eamonn as she replied: “Oh tell me about it.” The remark took everyone by surprise as the show cut to a break, Ruth announced: “Anyway funnily it’s now time for a break”

Loose Women star Ruth Langsford made a cheeky comment about her divorce from Eamonn Holmes on the ITV show this morning

Ruth Langsford, 64, seemed to take a cheeky swipe at the status of her divorce while speaking on Loose Women on Tuesday morning.

The This Morning alum and her ex Eamonn Holmes, 65, announced their shock split in May, and Eamonn has quickly moved on with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42. The couple shares a son, and after 14 years of marriage Ruth seemed to hint that their divorce wasn’t going completely smoothly.

The conversation started with the ITV panel debating whether they’d ever ditch their children over the child picking an unsuitable partner. “I just think it’s madness. You know for a fact no matter what position you take in your child’s life if you intrench yourself too deeply they are going to do the opposite thing anyway,” Mariella Frostrup stated. “How on earth would the inclusion of someone in family life be worth the jeopardy of not talking to your child anymore, I just can’t imagine it.”

Coleen Nolan agreed: “I think it is important for parents to let their children find out for themselves and it might work out and they spend the rest of their lives together but it might be that they end up heartbroken and that’s when as a parent you step in.”

Ruth then turned the direction towards parents who let themselves down by feuding with each other instead of putting their children first. She shared: “I think it’s very selfish when you hear parents who say, you know, if they’re divorced, something like ‘Well I’m not coming to your wedding if he’s coming, or if she’s there.’ I just think it’s so selfish, isn’t it?”

“That’s a whole other subject, isn’t it? How to divorce well-” Mariella began. She was then interrupted by Ruth.

“Oh, tell me about it!” Ruth exclaimed, seemingly hinting that “divorcing well” was a topic she’d like to know more about. The panel and audience all fell into stitches, before Ruth conveniently brought in an ad break.

While Ruth has kept fairly silent about the ins and outs of her split from Eamonn, reports on how Eamonn’s health woes impacted the couple’s relationship came flooding in after the split was announced. Speaking about the star’s ill health at the time, a friend of the couple is said to have told MailOnline: “Ruth has become more his carer than a wife. Eamonn has been thoroughly miserable.

They claimed Eamonn has become “more and more grumpy” and, in the end, it started to get Ruth “down more than she could accept”. The publication also alleged that Eamonn joked to friends about being ‘touched’ more by his physio than Ruth in recent years, with Ruth allegedly upset by the comment.

In a similarly raunchy statement from Eamonn, after his hip replacement he blamed Ruth for his health woes and joked how his sex life was the ’cause’ of the problem. He told the Mirror: “I’m facing a two-week double hip operation, she wore them out, she’s got to help wear them in,” adding, “The doctor says no hanky panky and no strong exercise.”

Danny Jones apologised to his wife and family on Friday weeks after he was seen kissing Maura Higgins at a BRIT Awards afterparty

Danny Jones’ wife refuses to be seen as a ‘pushover’ and insists her husband is not off the hook yet following his kiss with Maura Higgins.

The McFly star has been seen wearing his wedding ring and issued a statement saying he wanted to ‘deeply apologise’ for what he’d put his wife through after he was seen kissing Maura at a BRIT Awards afterparty.

The Mirror reported that while the pair are still living together, Danny is not out of the dog house yet.

A source close to Georgia has now said she’s ‘incredibly emb

arrassed’ by everything Danny has put her through. The boyband star spoke out on Friday to claim he was ‘working through things’ with Georgia, but it appears she’s not ready to forgive and forget just yet.

“Georgia does not want people to think she’s a pushover and that all is forgiven already. She was concerned that the photos of her and Danny together gave the impression that everything is fine, when it’s very much not the case,” a source told The Sun.

Danny has been married to Georgia Horsley, a former Miss England, since 2014, and they have a son, Cooper, together.

In an Instagram story on Friday, Danny wrote: “Sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me. I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.

“I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.”

It is the first time he has said anything publicly about the kiss. It comes after a source told The Mirror: “He has been mortified about what’s happened and the awful situation he has put everyone in. He cares so deeply about his family and hopes his words will draw a line under what has been a deeply upsetting time for everyone. Georgia and his son are absolutely everything to him.

“He wants to move on and heal in private.” The source added: “Fair play to Danny for owning this and addressing things head-on. He and Georgia are living together and trying to work things through but he is not out of the woods. He will be in the doghouse for a while yet.”

While Danny makes amends with Georgia, he is said to be leaning on one of his McFly bandmates for support.

The singer is said to be spending time with Dougie Poynter who he has become ‘inseparable’ with since the scandal broke. ” Dougie has been a metaphorical shoulder to cry and helping Danny to work through the fallout of the past few weeks, it’s been really tough,” a source told The Sun.

“Dougie has known Danny for decades and knows how to keep his spirits up in low moments. Cycling together and getting outside has been good for them and helping to keep busy.”

Danny and Maura, 34, were filmed sharing a drunken kiss at 3am at a Brit Awards afterparty in London. Sources claim the pair then went to another venue – the swanky Nobu Hotel in Central London – and partied until at least 6am.

Insiders said this week that Danny and Georgia have been working through the crisis and on Tuesday the couple were seen together as they stepped out in Richmond, South West London. Last week, an insider said the kiss with Maura was a “slap in the face” for Georgia.

Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne’s relationship has been the subject of rumours once again and sources have now claimed that the couple have split after eight years of marriage

Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne’s relationship has faced many ups and downs over the years. The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, have been at the centre of speculation, rumours, and public scrutiny. Despite their efforts to work through their issues, the couple are said to have split after eight years of marriage.

A joint statement from the couple read: “Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye. They kindly ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this together. Their children remain their top priority, surrounded by love and care from both parents — something that will never change. Above all, Jacqueline and Dan have each other’s and their children’s best interests at heart. There will be no further comment.”

Earlier this year, Jacqueline, 32, was seen without her wedding ring, leading to concerns that her relationship with Dan, 33, was in trouble. The EastEnders actress and the former TOWIE star arrived separately at their local gym, with Jacqueline looking downcast. Her missing wedding ring only fuelled speculation that the couple had parted ways.

The rumours gained more traction when it was revealed that the pair had put their family home on the market. Dan reportedly purchased a property in his own name, which led fans to believe they had quietly separated. However, a source close to the couple previously denied the claims, stating that selling the house did not mean they had split.

Now, reports from The Sun claim that Dan has officially walked out of the family home, adding to the growing belief that their marriage is over. A source told the outlet: “Jacqueline and Dan are on a break and are spending time apart from each other. It’s not been easy for them lately and they have made this difficult decision.” They added that neither Jac nor Dan know what will happen in the future but their break was “needed.”

The news has left fans wondering whether this is the final chapter in their turbulent relationship. Jacqueline appeared to brush off the speculation, taking to social media to share her daily routine and fitness journey. She casually discussed her weight loss and gym habits, seemingly unfazed by the headlines about her marriage.

In contrast to the split rumours, Jacqueline posted an appreciation message for Dan in July 2024. She shared a series of affectionate photos and a heartfelt caption celebrating their relationship. Marking their 10 years together and eight years of marriage, she described Dan as her “bestest friend” and acknowledged the lack of recent pictures of them together, vowing to take more. However, despite this public display of affection, reports now confirm that their marriage has come to an end.

Their relationship has been tested many times, particularly by allegations of infidelity. In 2019, Dan publicly apologised for mistakes that nearly cost him his family. He admitted to making errors in their relationship and expressed his commitment to making things right. That same year, Jacqueline temporarily moved out of their home, revealing that therapy had been crucial for her. She explained that she needed space to process everything and improve communication with Dan.

The couple’s rocky history dates back to 2015, when Dan was accused of engaging in inappropriate behaviour with a well-known model. More accusations surfaced in later years, with claims of infidelity involving former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen. The rumours created tension in their marriage, but Jacqueline had maintained that she worked through the issues.

During her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2019, Jacqueline’s emotional journey captured the attention of fans. She opened up about feeling like a “doormat” and spoke about wanting to prove herself outside of her role in EastEnders. Her vulnerability won over the public, and she was crowned Queen of the Jungle.

Despite their best efforts to move forward, it seems that Jacqueline and Dan could not overcome their past challenges. Their split follows years of speculation and attempts to rebuild their marriage. In recent months, Jacqueline had been seen with and without her wedding ring, keeping fans guessing about the state of their relationship. When she shared a family photo without Dan earlier in 2024, rumours reignited. She later posted an image of Dan spending time with their children at a theatre show, seemingly downplaying the speculation.

Now, with reports confirming their separation and Dan reportedly leaving the family home, it appears their journey together has come to an end. While their marriage has been turbulent, Jacqueline and Dan will likely continue to co-parent their daughters as they move forward in separate directions.
