ANGRY Jacqueline Jossa dumped Dan Osborne after discovering he cheated on her with a Miss Essex.
Just weeks after they wed, the heavily pregnant EastEnders actress who appeared on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards contacted Chrissie Yorker and demanded to know if she had slept with her new hubby.
A friend of Chrissie’s said: “Jacqueline saw Chrissie’s social media profile, which said she was a one-time Miss Essex winner, and felt threatened.”
Jacqueline, who also has three-year-old daughter Ella with Dan, tweeted part-time model Chrissie: “Hi, I’ve just been told something and I need to hear it from you really. All I want is the truth.
“Did you sleep with Dan Osborne? I don’t want things to get ugly. I really need to know. Thanks x.”
The friend added: “Jacqueline just asked for the absolute truth, every cough and spit of their drunken one-night stand.”
The ex-Towie star has had a very on-off relationship with Jacqueline.
They were OFF shortly after they began dating in 2014. Then back ON, tying the knot in June last year, then OFF again in April.
The allegations come days after last year’s Love Island contestant Marcel Somerville accused his ex Gabby Allen of cheating with Dan.
Both denied it and Jacqueline had her wedding ring on at her baby shower.
The friend of Chrissie’s said: “Jacqueline made it clear she’d had enough of Dan’s cheating and didn’t want to be with him but would wait until after their baby was born.”
This on-off romance among showbiz folk is like some budget TV remake of Hollywood golden couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton love story.
At least Jacqueline had something to celebrate at the awards — a share of the Scene Of The Year gong for Lauren and Abi’s rooftop fall.

Six wins puts Street ahead
CORRIE’S Catherine Tyldesley and Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe put on their own dramatic performance in the style stakes at The British Soap Awards 2018 on Saturday 2 June.
And it’s lucky Lucy Fallon and a heavily pregnant Helen Flanagan, who came with footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair, all had their fanciest frocks too, as Corrie was the big winner.
The ITV soap picked up six awards, including Best Soap and Best Actor for Jack P Shepherd at the event at London’s Hackney Empire.
Lucy also got two gongs, Best Actress and Best Female Dramatic Performance, for her hard-hitting portrayal of grooming victim Bethany Platt.
She told us: “It’s been such a good year for me on the Street. I feel so lucky, the response has been amazing.”
Hollyoaks actresses Amanda Clapham and Chelsee Healy also had reason to celebrate as the Channel 4 soap came second with four gongs, while EastEnders – with Tilly Keeper and Danny Dyer – picked up three awards.
Speaking on the red carpet, Danny supported his daughter Dani going into Love Island, declaring: “I’m backing her to win. She’s my baby and I love her very much.”
IT’S been two weeks since that wedding but the Meghan Markle effect is rippling through the bridal industry.
Designer Emma Beaumont, who has previously dressed the likes of Corrie’s Lucy Fallon, said she’s been inundated with requests to copy Meghan’s Givenchy wedding dress.
She told us: “Lots of my brides have felt inspired by Meghan’s style.”
Couples want to have their cake and eat it, too. The royal pair’s unusual sweet treat has proved a big hit.
Caffe Concerto chef Hugo Salles De Carvalho confirmed: “Requests for elderflower and lemon wedding cakes have skyrocketed.”
It all points to a Lily stress fest
MATT SMITH was involved in a nasty altercation with boozed-up punters at the All Points Festival last weekend – in front of girlfriend Lily James.
We understand that the actor was targeted by an aggressive element among the crowd on Friday night.
A source said: “Matt does his best to keep a low profile while out in public but there was a group of revellers who decided to single out him and his pal.
“A drink was thrown at them and Matt was quick to come to his pal’s rescue and pulled him to safety, well out of harm’s way.
“They decided to leave and move to a different part of the area before the situation got any worse.
“Lily looked very fearful while it was all going on.
“She seemed relieved when they decided to leave the area.” It’s lucky Matt didn’t resort to channelling the infamous diplomatic skills of his The Crown character Prince Philip – then it really would have kicked off.
Mandy goes Soho
BRITAIN’S Got Talent judge Amanda Holden refuses to use the show’s tatty dressing rooms.
This year the talent hunt – which has its final tonight – switched locations to London’s Hammersmith Apollo to film the live semi-finals but we hear Amanda didn’t feel the facilities were up to her usual standards.
So her glam squad have been getting her ready at private members’ club Soho House.
A source said: “Amanda hates the Apollo’s dressing rooms. She thinks they are dingy. She doesn’t feel that they match her show-stopping gowns so made alternative arrangements.”
Who knew Simon Cowell would be happy slumming it?
Julia's peak-time bid
MADE In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson and Britain’s Best Walks host Julia Bradbury hope to make an unlikely TV presenting duo.
The pair, who teamed up to climb the Great Ridge in the Peak District last week, want their own travel show. Julia told us: “The whole point of matching Sam and I is we are coming at it from different ends of the spectrum.”
Sam – who joined forces with Julia to launch this year’s National Camping and Caravanning Week and highlight the Mend Our Mountains: Make One Million campaign, added: “Our own travel show would be a dream come true.”
