‘Growing!’ Pregnant Eastenders Actress Posts Photo Of Baby Bump To Instagram

Jacqueline Jossa seems to be enjoying every minute of her pregnancy, if her excited Instagram posts are anything to go by. The Eastenders actress is expecting her first child with TOWIE boyfriend Dan Osborne and has charted her pregnancy on the social networking site, sharing regular photos with her fans. The star, who plays Lauren Branning in the show, today posted a photo showing her growing baby bump, looking beautiful in a striped navy and white dress. The couple have yet to reveal whether they are expecting a girl or a boy and Jossa is believed to be due early next year. While it had been claimed that she could take a year out from the popular soap, the 22-year-old has since spoken out to dispel rumours of a long absence and said she hoped her character would remain part of the cast. “I’d be really upset if they killed me off. I’d be devastated if that happened because I love working on the show so much," she said. “They’ve already killed off Lucy Beale this year, so I don’t think it would be good for Lauren to go as well. We don’t need another death. I’m hoping it won’t happen.”
