Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne
Jacqueline Jossa is expected to return to EastEnders after giving birth to her first child.
Expecting the baby with boyfriend Dan Osborne, she's revealed that she'll take time off for the birth but will hope to return soon afterwards.
Speaking to MailOnline she explained: "I am going to have to leave at some point to give birth, but I don't really know what will happen with my storyline. They're keeping it a secret from even me because it is that tight.
"I don't have a clue either but I know I will be coming back. I read somewhere I was taking a year out which isn't true. I definitely want to go back."
She also revealed that some of her co-stars have been giving her advice about the joys of motherhood.
"Natalie Cassidy (Sonia Fowler) has given me great advice. When you're pregnant you get a bit emotional and I feel like she must have known I was edgy because she said to me everything works out in the end."
Jacqueline isn't worried about being a young mother as she believes age doesn't matter when it comes to parenthood.
"I'm 22, I'm not 17 and even so, some 17 year olds are the most amazing mums.
"I don't think you can put an age on it I think it's all about being a mum and learning. No one knows how to be a mum until you are one."
