I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner Jacqueline Jossa has landed back home in London after being crowned Queen of the Jungle in Sunday’s tense final.
The actress, 27, was joined by her reality star husband Dan Osborne, 28, and the couple’s two daughters, Ella, four, and Mia, 17 months, as she touched down at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday afternoon, receiving a hero’s welcome from waiting friends, family and fans.
The former EastEnders star looked delighted as she arrived back on home turf after her jungle triumph, in spite of a personally testing time which has seen her husband accused of having a threesome behind her back and cheating on her with a Love Island star.

Jacqueline was all smiles as she landed back home after several weeks of hard jungle living with her fellow celebrities.
The TV star carried her suitcase through the airport and she and Dan were joined by their daughters Ella, four, and Mia, one, who flew to Queensland with their father.
Jacqueline was dressed casually for the long-haul flight and donned a navy T-shirt with grey tracksuit bottoms and white trainers while she let her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders.
Her mother Selina also accompanied Jacqueline as she made her way through the airport after she and her husband John flew to Australia to congratulate their daughter on her win.

Former TOWIE star Dan shared a snap of the pair from the plane where Jacqueline leaned over to lovingly caress her other half’s face.
Alongside the snap, Dan wrote: ‘Touchdown @jacjossa. Extra passenger come home with us.’
The couple appeared closer than ever in the snap as they try to move past the recent cheating rumours that have plagued their relationship.
Jacqueline’s fellow celebrity contestants were all seen in Heathrow Airport as they have all landed back in the UK after spending a few days living it up in the Versace Hotel in the Gold Coast after the show’s end.

‘So many of them couldn’t fly to Australia to be there when she got out of the jungle, and they want her to know how proud they are.’
Jacqueline’s victory appeared to have been a little tainted after she emerged only to be confronted by claims about her husband Dan’s alleged infidelity.
Dan was accused of cheating with Love Island star Gabby Allen during a holiday in Marbella in April 2018, which both stars have strenuously denied.

Cheating doesn’t necessarily have to mean sleeping with one another, but could relate to some level of extra-marital intimacy.
At the time Jacqueline was pregnant with her second child, and Dan had temporarily moved out of their family home.
It was recently reported that Jacqueline had contacted Gabby around the time of the cheating rumours, asking if she had slept with her husband.
Last month, the reality star hit out at ‘boring’ infidelity rumours in an interview with heat magazine.

To make matters worse, Dan’s Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chloe Ayling claimed they had a threesome with fellow housemate Natalie Nunn last year – a rumour he vehemently denies.
The father-of-three has revealed he is seeking legal advice against Chloe for the claims which he has repeatedly rubbished yet Natalie has remained silent.
He slammed ‘no morals’ Chloe after she claimed she enjoyed a sex session with him and Bad Girls Club star Natalie in a hotel room following a drunken night out in London.
The rumours appeared to have an effect on Jacqueline’s parents who noticeably sat several seats away from Dan when they all flew to Australia and got a bus to the camp.
It was reported ITV bosses axed plans for Jacqueline to reunite with Dan during a family jungle visit, a segment which the show has previously included as part of its final week.
‘We take the welfare of all of the celebrities very seriously and have measures in place to ensure they are supported at every stage of the process.’
A source claimed that bosses feared Jacqueline’s reaction if she was to reunite with the TOWIE star on-screen, after she was left in tears by revelations about her spouse from campmate Myles Stephenson.

Despite the rumours, Jacqueline and Dan are said to have turned over a new leaf as they are reportedly planning to renew their vows in a second wedding, two years after their first.
A source told The Sun: ‘Jacqueline feels refreshed by her jungle experience, and doesn’t want anything to detract from it.
‘Her and Dan had a frank chat and decided to start with a clean slate. She really loves him, and their girls, and wants to make things work.
‘But equally, she’s found an inner strength she didn’t realise she had in the jungle, so has warned him any more indiscretions and he’s in trouble.’
