Most people find that when they become parents, their social-media pages become an endless tribute to their offspring.
Dan Osborne is no different – the former TOWIE star, 26, loves to show what a doting dad he is by posting cute pics of his two kids Teddy, three, and Ella, two, to Instagram.
And he was at it again today, sharing a snap that’s got his followers cooing with appreciation.
In the photo, Teddy – Dan’s son with his ex, Megan Tomlin – lies contentedly next to Ella, who’s Dan’s daughter with his new wife, EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa, 25.
Dan expressed his love for the two tots in a caption: “They melt my heart. Best friends.”
And his followers were equally gushing in their praise. One exclaimed: “That’s how it should be! Brother and sisterly love. Beautiful.”
Another added: “So cute. Where are Ella’s PJs from? They’re adorable.”

And a third fan was almost lost for words, saying simply: “Soo sweet.”
Dan’s cute post follows a tricky couple of months for the showbiz couple.
Back in September, it was revealed that Jacqueline’s EastEnders character Lauren Branning was to be written out of the show – a move that was inevitably going to leave the actress worrying about her family’s future.
Following the news, Dan supported his wife with a sweet tweet: “You are so talented babe, and I’m proud of you. This is just the beginning of your career.”

But shortly after, the couple’s relationship was being scrutinised after Jacqueline was seen looking glum while picking Dan up after a night out.
Amid rumours that their marriage was on the rocks, the actress took to Twitter to nip those whispers in the bud.
She told her followers: “I finished filming this morning at 2.30am. I text Daniel, knowing he was out, asking if he needed picking up. He did… it’s that simple.
“I looked annoyed because it was 3am, I was tired and someone was taking a pic of me.”
