EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa welcomes new addition to the family and reveals cute name

The 25-year-old former EastEnders actress, who played Lauren Branning from 2010 until her exit in February, is currently pregnant with her second child with the TOWIE star, 26.

After confirming her pregnancy at the beginning of the year, the mother-of-one has now added an adorable pet pooch to her brood.

Sharing the good news with her 1.2 million Instagram followers, she uploaded a sweet video to her story introducing the dog to her fans.

“Who wants to meet Storm?!” she said, panning the camera down to reveal the beautiful puppy.

Clearly already head over heels in love with him, she could be heard gushing: “You’re so beautiful Storm, look at you!”

Jacqueline’s husband Dan also updated his 881,000 followers, sharing a series of gorgeous snaps of the husky playing with their daughter Ella and his son Teddy, whom he shares with a previous partner.

“Meet the newest member of the Osborne family,” he wrote. “Storm Osborne.”

One snap showed the fluffy new arrival sat on their kitchen floor gazing innocently up at the camera with his ears pricked up enthusiastically.

Another showed Teddy stroking him, while a third saw Ella and her half-brother watching on as he tucked into a bowl of food.

Jacqueline could be seen snuggling Storm as she joined him down on the floor for a cuddle.

Dan’s followers rushed to comment on the snaps, with one exclaiming: “Omg he’s gorgeous!”

“Look at those eyes,” another gushed, while a third chipped in: “HOW BEAUTIFUL!”

Jacqueline and Dan tied the knot in a romantic fairytale wedding in Cheshire last June.

She has been keeping her social media fans updated on her pregnancy with regular pictures and videos and has even launched her own YouTube vlog since departing EastEnders.

The couple have revealed that they already know the sex of the baby.

Ex-EastEnders favourite Jacqueline Jossa opened up about pregnancy “stress” on Instagram last month as she voiced her woes following a strenuous day.

She told her followers that she had found it difficult to travel via public transport with her growing bump, explaining; “"I’m just running myself a bath because I’ve been walking up London all day.

“I don’t know how anyone works up London and gets that train ever day,” she admitted, adding: “Oh my God, stress!”

“Not only that but I was thinking for pregnant women. Obviously you don’t take maternity leave until like eight months, which means traipsing up an down on that train pregnant.

“Like today I was aching,” Jacqueline said. “I don’t know how you do it, so props to ya’ll for traveling to London and back.”
