The 'EastEnders' star and the former 'The Only Way is Essex' hunk - who have 21-month-old daughter Ella together - have finally marked a day in the diary for their big day and can't wait to set the ball rolling for the lavish preparations.

She told the Daily Star newspaper: "We've got a date, which means I've finally got a vision of what I want the day to be like. I'm really happy and I can't wait."

The pair - who got engaged in June 2015 after they met at an awards ceremony in 2013 - had initially set a date for their wedding this year but they were forced to postpone their nuptials because they ran out of time due to their busy schedules.

The 24-year-old beauty said previously: "We just ran out of time to plan everything. I thought we had ages to get stuff sorted, then all of a sudden it was March and we didn't have anything booked. We've not found a venue that's perfect for us yet. We want to wait and find somewhere that we love. It was a bit of a shame as we were looking forward to it. Just because we've postponed the wedding, it doesn't mean our relationship is falling apart - we're still getting married!"

Jacqueline's admission came just a few weeks after rumours began circulating suggesting they had hit the rocks after recordings were leaked of Dan allegedly being verbally abusive towards his ex-partner Megan Tomlin, who is the mother of his two-year-old son Teddy, just after they had split up and he had moved on with Jacqueline.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline may be ready to get hitched with Dan but she's determined to shed a few pounds ahead of their big day as she's been feeling "down" about her body.

She said: "I've felt a bit down recently. I felt like I had a baby and I should be sorting myself out, but I'm not."
