Jacqueline Jossa has been praised by fans for sharing a body positive message during a sun-soaked family holiday.
The former EastEnders star took to Instagram to dance in an orange string bikini alongside her two daughters.
She filmed herself lip syncing to the Jax track Victoria’s Secret as youngsters Ella, seven, and four-year-old Mia joined in.
The lyrics say: “God I wish somebody would’ve told me. When I was younger that all bodies aren’t the same. Photoshop, itty bitty models on magazine covers. Told me I was overweight. I stopped eating, what a bummer. Can’t have carbs in a hot girl summer.”

As the song talked about carbs, Jacqueline picked up a French baguette and started waving it in the air.
Posting the video to her Instagram reels, the 29-year-old said she was sharing it to show her kids that it’s important to accept yourself.
She wrote: “My girls are always watching me! Have to be so careful how I speak about myself.
“Just a little reminder for all of you, but also for me, as I go on holiday trying to critique what I see in the mirror, and avoid bread and Alioli which let’s face it ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.”
Fellow celebrity mum Sam Faiers commented on the post saying: “Never in a million years... Alioli is a holiday essential you look gorgeous and happy and that’s everything xxx.”
Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle posted three heart emojis in response to Jacqueline’s emotive post.
While Strictly professional dancer Karen Hauer also jumped in, writing: “You’re beautiful.”
Fans were also quick to praise Jacqueline for the ‘real’ post with many calling her an ‘inspiration’.
One said: “An inspiration for us mums who don’t have the shape we once used to. Enjoy your holiday. We were happy last night to see you enjoying our favourite local Italian.”
Another wrote: “Be dead proud of the body you’ve been blessed with, you look amazing in your bikini and your girls are being taught body confidence – head high and flaunt it!!!”
“So nice to see someone “normal” and 100% real. You’re a great role model to others,” a third added.
Another person in the family who is proud of their body is Jacqueline’s husband Dan Osbourne.
The 31-year-old former TOWIE star recently showed off his new tattoo – a family portrait of his kids at his wedding to Jac in 2017.
Gushing over the epic work, Dan said: “Love my leg tattoo of my munchkins“ while admitting he still needs to get one of the tattoos completed.
The gesture comes as Jacqueline revealed the pair were planning on renewing their vows after they managed to work through a maelstrom of infidelity allegations.
Jacqueline moved out of the marital home during lockdown when cheating allegations about Dan resurfaced.
However, after weathering the storm and moving into a plush new pad, Jac told Heat magazine the couple had a “new relationship“, adding: “It could be quite nice to do something like renew our vows when the time is right.”
