Jacqueline Jossa is pregnant with Dan Osborne's baby.

The 'EastEnders' actress and her 'The Only Way Is Essex' boyfriend have revealed the happy news they are expecting their first child together, and they are both delighted.

Dan, 23, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Becoming a father has been the most amazing thing to ever happen to me.

"I can't believe I'm going to be a dad again - I'm truly blessed."

The reality TV star already has an eight-month-old son Teddy with previous partner Mega Tomlin, and the couple are "thrilled" at the news they will be having a child of their own.

Jacqueline, 21, added: "We are thrilled by our news."

The pair started dating at the end of last year, and while they are a "young couple", it is said they are still incredibly excited for the future.

A source said: "They're over the moon. They might be a young couple, but Dan loves being a dad, so it's great news for them.

"It does mean Jacqueline will have to take some time out, which will have to be written into the storylines, but producers are being incredibly supportive.

"She's expected to give birth early next year."
