A couple of months back, it was reported that Jacqueline Jossa was a shoe-in to compete on Celebrity X Factor later this year.
Well, according to a new report, the former EastEnders actress, 26, now WON’T be appearing on the new edition of the ITV singing show.
However, it’s claimed that she DOES have a good chance of being signed up for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
In May, The Sun Online seemed to suggest that mum-of-two Jacqueline had an excellent chance of appearing on Simon Cowell’s new star-studded singing programme, which is rumoured to be starting in late summer.
A source told the website: “Jacqueline has met bosses for talks about joining the show, and they are ongoing. The final line-up hasn’t been confirmed yet and the decisions are still to be made.”
And to back up this story, another inside said of the actress, who played Lauren Branning in EastEnders: “She couldn’t keep it a secret and has been telling pals she’s so excited and can’t wait to show off her amazing voice.”

However, the unnamed source claimed that Jacqueline has had talks with ITV bosses about appearing in the jungle instead.
They continued: “As a result, she has also sat down with ITV about the prospect of going on I’m A Celeb.
“As ever, line-ups aren’t locked in until closer the time, but it is looking more than likely she will be heading Down Under.”

Celebrity X Factor is one of two new versions of The X Factor being screened this year. There will also be an ‘All-Star’ edition, in which former champions will compete against each other.
So far, there’s been no confirmation about who’ll be competing on the Celeb series, but David Walliams, Brendan Cole and Gemma Collins are among the names that have been bandied about.
Earlier this week, we reported that Jacqueline wants to renew her wedding vows with TOWIE star husband Dan Osborne, 28.
The couple got married in June 2017 and have two children together – Ella, four, and Mia, one. Dan also has a son – Teddy, five – from a previous relationship.
