The former EastEnders star admitted earlier this year that he suffered serious financial problems before joining I’m a Celebrity in 2019. 3 One of Jacqueline’s companies made £1.3m last yearCredit: Instagram 3 As well as a performing arts school and a cosmetics brand Jac earns money from her collaboration with In The StyleCredit: Instagram 3 She has daughters Mia and Ella with husband Dan Osborne However, it seems it’s all behind her as the accounts of EMJ Entertainments – Jac’s performing arts company – reported assets of £1,287,199 for the 16 months to 31 December 2021. However, these assets were offset by notes payable of £367,038. It is not clear how much actress Jacqueline paid out of the staggering profit. But £1m is certainly nothing to scoff at, especially after Jac – who has daughters Ella, seven, and Mia, four, with husband Dan Osborne – recently revealed how she found herself struggling after her departure from EastEnders in 2018. Jacqueline, who played Lauren Branning in the soap, appeared on Sam and Billie Faiers’ podcast The Sam and Billie Show to make the candid confession. He said: “I was on EastEnders for eight years where you got a set pay check every week. It was a set pay check and I didn’t have to do anything else. It was my comfort blanket, it was what I knew. Then it just wasn’t. “There’s no such thing as maternity pay for me, so when I had kids I had to leave and I had to do magazine covers to make money to feed my kids.” Jacqueline explained: “Once you’re gone, when you’re not on the show, you don’t have any money. We’re done! You don’t get paid anything else. “I’ll have to do like a shoot. People say, ‘Why are you selling your soul?’ I feed my kids. That’s the difference. I’m not ashamed, I’m not ashamed. “There were times when I had no money. Before I went to the jungle, I was struggling with money. I had to sell my house. “And then I went into the jungle and had incredible opportunities, so I would never look at someone and say, ‘He’s not rushing enough.’ You have to do it.” Jac, former Towie star Dan and the girls moved into their ‘forever home’ last year – which he also described as a ‘fresh start’ for the family. Since becoming Queen of the Jungle, Jacqueline has launched her own cosmetics brand – Nixie – which is owned by her second company, Ella Oil Ventures, which reported a loss of £6,888 in 2021. He also founded a performing arts school, the Jac Jossa Academy, which had £27,787 as at 28 February 2021. Elsewhere, Jacqueline also signed a six-figure deal with fashion brand In The Style in 2019, with her first collection selling out in less than 24 hours.
