The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star took to Instagram this evening to share the first picture of his second child with the former 'EastEnders' actress, praising the brunette beauty for doing an "amazing" job.

Alongside a photo of their three-year-old daughter Ella craddling her new sister, Dan wrote: "2/3 of my ABSOLUTE WORLD!! Welcome to the world Mia Osborne another little princess Jacqueline did amazing, she is doing fine and baby is perfect 25.06.2018 [sic]"

Despite the couple's recent "ups and downs", Jacqueline, 25, recently praised Dan - who also has four-year-old son Teddy from a previous relationship - as an "amazing dad".

Speaking in May, she said: "These things happen. Marriages have ups and downs and mine's no different.

"He'll be at the birth, of course. He's an amazing dad."

Jacqueline also said she is planning to have therapy after Mia's birth.

She said: "I think, all too often, we go to the doctors if we hurt ourselves physically but we don't look after our brains or our hearts that much.

"Everyone should have therapy - I'll probably have it after I've had the baby.

"I'm pretty good at not getting stressed. All my friends say, 'You just bottle it up', but I actually don't.

"Maybe I've just got a really thick skin but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, I get on with things and stay calm."

Jacqueline admitted whilst she and Dan weren't "getting on at the moment", she wanted him to be there to see the birth of their child.

She said: "People want to comment on your marriage, but they don't actually know what is happening - only we know. People shouldn't jump to any conclusions and I'm in the last few weeks of my pregnancy so I don't need the stress.

"Dan will be with me [when she delivers]. I'm going to stick to who I had last time, so I just had my mum and Daniel. I might have Daniel's mum, it just depends where we all are."

The couple married in June 2017, after four years of dating.
