Jacqueline Jossa breaks silence on I'm A Celeb win after cancelling TV interviews
She's arrived back in the UK with her family
She was crowned the 2019 Queen of the Jungle on I'm A Celebrity last weekend, but amidst all of the rumours surrounding her marriage to Dan Osborne, former EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa made the decision to cancel all TV interviews and appearances.
Now, just hours before the I'm A Celebrity: Coming Out show aired on ITV last night (Thursday 12th December), the mum-of-two broke her silence, taking to Twitter to thank fans for their support.
Posting a message to her 780K followers, Jacqueline wrote, 'Thanks so much everyone that voted for me, and if you didn’t thanks for watching and voting for one of my friends. I met 11 fantastic people and loved all of them so much! I had the best experience ever and I’m so happy to be home and be queen!! Roman and Andy are KINGS❤️❤️❤️'. sic
Fans were quick to respond to the actress, one user wrote, 'If you didn’t vote for me then thanks for watching and voting for one of my friends” that is the nicest and most humble thing I’ve ever read 🥺'. sic
Another wrote, 'You had my votes all the time and you smashed it 💖', with a third writing, 'Voted for you everyday & happy I did. You’re a well deserved winner x'. sic
Despite on going rumours in the press that former TOWIE star Dan Osborne has 'cheated' on his wife, the pair are ignoring them, with Dan posting a lovely tribute to Jacqueline after her victory.
Sharing a cute snap of the pair sitting on Jac's jungle throne, Dan wrote, 'My jungle Queen!! ❤️ words can not describe how proud I am of this woman! She absolutely smashed it from day 1 and deserves this sooo much!! Well done baby ❤️❤️❤'. sic
