Pregnant Jacqueline Jossa has revealed her and husband Dan Osborne’s pride in daughter Ella’s latest achievement.
The former EastEnders actress told fans she was “shocked” by how quickly Ella, three, has adapted to sleeping in her own bedroom and not getting out of bed until the morning.
Jacqueline, 25, shared a beautiful image of herself and Ella to Instagram, alongside a message expressing her “shock” that Ella had got into a new routine so quickly.

Jacqueline continued: “She always shocks me! I really didn’t think we would get there so quickly but she is always so brave and so helpful! She woke up really proud of herself today, the 4th night in a row now! Hopefully this is it!”
After being asked for tips from fans, she said: “People asking how we did it, to be honest I just sort of tried it one night and said that ‘mummy needed to get in the bath and then see to [our dog] Storm, would she be a big girl and help mummy out?'”
Jacqueline said Ella had been “happy to help” and she’d given the little girl a treat after she followed the routine for three nights in a row.
“It’s crazy how quickly they grow up and I am just loving every second of her,” she added.
“Don’t get me wrong she has her moments!! Her moaning is getting a little worse recently but I think it’s as she gets older she wants to keep herself busy, it’s hard work. She loves her life and family so much, we are so so lucky.”
Jacqueline concluded with a message from both her and husband Dan : “She loves her mummy and daddy so much and we love her so much too! Proud of you baby girl!”
The couple are expecting a second child in the next few weeks.
They’ve found out the sex but not revealed it publicly.
Their marriage has been making headlines recently amid allegations they’re going through a rocky patch, but both Dan and Jacqueline have said people don’t know what happens behind closed doors.
Jacqueline told OK! magazine: “People shouldn’t jump to any conclusions and I’m in the last few weeks of my pregnancy so I don’t need the stress.”
Former TOWIE star Dan, 26, also has a four-year-old son, Teddy, from a previous relationship.
