Jacqueline Jossa has revealed that her husband Dan Osborne's time in the Celebrity Big Brother house actually helped their relationship. Dan entered the house at a bit of a difficult time in their relationship - having left the former EastEnders star a month before she was due to give birth.

Whilst many thought Dan might have been tempted by Love Island star Gabby Allen, who he was rumoured to have cheated on Jac with, he spent most of his time on the show pining after his wife and children.

Now, Jacqueline has opened up about Dan's stint in the CBB house, revealing that it's one of the reasons they were able to work things out in the end and reunite after the show.

The 26-year-old told new! magazine, "I had so many different emotions. It's so funny - we were both on completely different spectrums of emotion. I wanted to punch him in the face and he was there missing me so much!

"I was like, 'Babes, you haven't thought about this. I'm here watching you, I can see you, so I can't really miss you'. Then when we met up afterwards, I realised how much I missed him. It was nice as I was really nervous to see him. It brought back a little spark."

The mum-of-two, who gave birth to Mia in June, confirmed that her relationship with Dan is now "100% strong" and said that it's like they're back in the "honeymoon" period, and adding that his time in the CBB house came at the perfect time as they'd needed time apart.

Dan also felt that CBB saved his marriage, telling OK! magazine recently, "It’s no secret that we went through a bad patch, but we’re back together and things are really good. We split up earlier this year but started to get back on track when Mia was born in June and it’s better than ever between us now.

"My time in the house gave me a new-found love and respect for Jacqueline. I had a lot of time in there to re-evaluate things and work out what my priorities were. Having some space made me realise how much I cherish our relationship and how much I wanted to make things work."
