The former 'EastEnders' actress has warned people who send her horrible messages about her children - daughters Ella, three, and seven-month-old Mia, who she shares with Dan Osborne - to expect a "rude" reply back about their "face and appearance", because it "p***es her off" receiving such comments about her kids.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she ranted in a number of posts: "If you want to say something about my kids expect a reply back, expect it to be rude, and expect it to be about your face and your appearance.
"If you insult me or you insult my kids, more importantly, I'm gonna say something back to you or I will block you.
"But just don't do it, how about that? Don't be a weird person. Sorry, I'm on a rant now, but I don't understand.
"I don't like it, I think it's rude, I think it's strange and odd that you have an opinion about someone you don't know, an opinion so strongly about their kids.
"It's disgusting, and weird. It gets on my nerves.
"I don't really care when people say stuff about me, I can just laugh it off and probably agree sometimes, I'm like, 'Yeah, true.'
"But say something about my kids and it really p***es me off.
"Something else I think is really weird is that you have an opinion on a child's appearance. That says so much more about you, I think you need help and potentially to be put in prison, because why would you have an opinion on a child's appearance? That's on you guys.
"Even if you have an opinion and you don't vocalise it, fair enough, whatever.
"But to message me about it, commenting on my pictures, whatever, it is so disgusting. You need help. I honestly can't stand people like that."
The 26-year-old star - who played Lauren Branning on the BBC One soap from 2010 to 2018 - admitted she was "fuming" about the messages, but said she would probably "regret" ranting about them.
She added: "People say I should ignore it and I should but it's really hard.
"I'm a normal person with real feelings and I don't like people getting involved or talking about stuff they don't know anything about.
"I do not like people talking about my kids, that's my number one. I do not like that. I'm fuming.
"I do regret it [ranting] afterwards, I will probably delete these [posts]."
Jacqueline's rant comes just months after a troll attacked former 'Coronation Street' star Catherine Tyldesley online, asking her if she felt "guilty seeking self-gratification" by posing for photoshoots while her kid was "at home without their mother".
The former 'Corrie' star - who has three-year-old son Alfie with husband Tom Pitfield - insisted she is a "brilliant mum" in response to the social media user, who she claimed was "mum-shaming" her, and insists she puts her little one to bed "almost every night".
She later received an apology.
