The 'EastEnders' actress lost her confidence after giving birth to daughter Ella in February 2015, but her fiance Dan Osborne says her recent Sexiest Female win at the Inside Soap awards has given her a much-needed boost.

He said: "She was really happy to win that award. She didn't think she could win it after she'd had a baby- she doesn't think he's sexy any more.

"But now she feels good about herself and has had a confidence boost."

Despite Jacqueline having to get close to other guys in her scenes as Lauren Branning on the BBC One soap, Dan insists he never gets jealous.

He said: "I'm not a jealous guy. I'm actually mates with Aaron Sidwell (Steven Beale), who kisses her on TV. We play football together and we get on great. It's her job. It can be full-on, but that's what it is."

But the 25-year-old star- who also has three-year-old son Teddy with ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin - admitted he does sometimes feel envious when he tunes into his former show 'The Only Way is Essex'.

He said: "I miss it sometimes but I don't sit at home wishing I was still on it.

"It was a great time of my life but nothing beats being at home with the kids.

"They're the best thing that's happened to me by a billion miles."

And for now, Dan is busy helping his fiancee plan their wedding.

He told Closer magazine: "We've got the date set for next summer and have a lot of planning to do. We haven't booked the venue yet but we won't get married in Essex. We're choosing between a few different places. Lockie and Arg will be invited to the wedding and a few more of the cast will be invited to the reception."
