The 'EastEnders' star and her husband Dan Osborne - who already have two-year-old daughter Ella together - have announced they are expecting their second child.

Speaking to OK! magazine, the 25-year-old actress said: "In mid-October I started to suspect I might be pregnant when I went to watch Daniel taking part in a charity boxing match. I was drinking wine but wasn't feeling drunk. I didn't understand what was going on and then it hit me that the same thing happened before I realised I was pregnant with Ella. We took a test the next day. We both started laughing when the test was positive."

Dan added: "We hadn't been trying so it was a huge shock.

"I think I'm still getting my head around it. Kids are a blessing but having three children is going to be a big responsibility. I'm not going to lie, I feel quite scared!"

Jacqueline has just finished shooting her final scenes for 'EastEnders' and was hoping to jump to another job but has had to put that plan on the back burner now she's pregnant.

She said: "It was a lot to take in for both of us, especially because I was still coming to terms with the fact I was leaving 'EastEnders'. I had hoped to go straight into another job but when I fond out I was pregnant I realised that wouldn't be possible. In many ways, thought, it's the perfect time to be pregnant because I can enjoy my pregnancy without working full time, which was what happened when I was expecting Ella."

And her pregnancy hasn't been easy thus far as she's been battling morning sickness.

The brunette beauty - who is 16 weeks - said: "I've been throwing up nearly every morning, which I've found hard because I didn't have any sickness with Ella."
