Former EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa has hit back at fans who have asked her if she's pregnant.

The actress recently shared a picture of herself in a bikini while on a family holiday with her former-TOWIE and Celebrity Big Brother star husband Dan Osborne and their daughters, and she was left furious by some of her followers' comments.

Jacqueline later addressed the comments on her Instagram stories, calling out everyone who had made the remarks about her body.

"I feel like everyone has such an opinion on everything. They have an opinion on my relationship, that's okay. It's not your relationship," she began (via OK! Online).

"They have an opinion on my weight. That's okay, it's not your body hun. If I want to take a picture and I'm happy with the way I look, so you should be too. I'm not fat. I'm a size 10-12. I've had two kids. People are saying, 'Are you pregnant again?'

"I feel like you should raise people better than to ask if you're pregnant."

She added: "I'll tell you why, not just because it's offensive and you're calling someone overweight, but also you don't know what someone's going through or if they've been trying to get pregnant for four years and that might push them over the edge.

"Never just assume or bring up pregnancy.

"Obviously the majority of people have been absolutely lovely saying that they feel it's a breath of fresh air to see someone that looks normal, their photos aren't photoshopped and their bodies aren’t stick thin.

"I'm with ya, hun. But I also just share them because I like the picture. It's not a big deal. I'm not large. I might not have a completely flat stomach, but I'm healthy, I'm happy, so don't let it affect you."

Back in March, Jacqueline addressed her marriage issues with Dan, following their brief split in 2018.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, she said: "All of that is in the past now, I don't really want to carry on talking about stuff that really now does feel kind of irrelevant."

EastEnders airs on BBC One.
