After discovering she’s pregnant for the second time, Jacqueline Jossa has vowed it will be the last – she’s asking husband Dan Osborne to get a vasectomy.
The couple are already parents to Ella – who will turn three in February – while Dan is also father to four-year-old son Teddy, with his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin.

The pregnancy comes as a shock for the couple, who have claimed they weren’t trying for another baby.
Talking to OK! Magazine they have said they won’t be adding to the family after this baby is born.
Ex-TOWIE star Dan insisted that this would be it for the couple: “Absolutely not,” he said, “we’re both done after this.”
EastEnders actresses Jacqueline agreed, suggesting it would be up to Dan to make sure they weren’t surprised again.
“I always wanted two kids so this is perfect. Daniel might have to book in for the snip because there’s no way I’m having more!”
The pair claimed that the pregnancy took them both by surprise.
“We both started laughing when the test was positive,” said Jaqueline. “We took two more just to be sure!”
“I think I’m still getting my head around it,” Dan added. “Kids are a blessing but having three children is going to be a big responsibility. I’m not going to lie, I feel quite scared!”
Surprise it may be, but it’s a very well timed one, with reports that Jaqueline’s EastEnders character Lauren Branning is being written out of the show.
