Jacqueline Jossa gets covered with paint as she shares update on the renovation of her new home

She recently revealed her family’s move into their new £1.2 million Essex mansion had been delayed.

But Jacqueline Jossa, 28, remained in high spirits on Monday when she tried her hand at a spot of DIY with husband Dan Osborne, 29, with the pair ending up covered in paint after decorating the garden fence.

Posting a clip of their antics on Instagram, the I’m A Celebrity star quipped: ‘It’s safe to say we are not painter decorators.’

Showing off the property’s enormous garden, the mother-of-two walked over to her other half, telling fans: ‘Look at the state of our contraption,’ as she zoomed in on a messy can of spray paint.

‘We don’t think it’s meant to look like that,’ she giggled before hopping in the car with Dan for a trip to B&Q to purchase more supplies.

In a separate video, Dan held the steering wheel with his fingertips so as not to get paint on the car, while Jacqueline revealed that her face had been splattered with green varnish.

After returning to their garden – which appeared far from completion with bricks of concrete scattered about and no grass visible – the former EastEnders actress declared: ‘Unfinished business,’ as she panned the camera to a section of un-painted fence.

Jacqueline then joked: ‘For everyone just drawing on their freckles, all you actually need to do is go spray some fences.’

The TV star’s day of DIY comes after she revealed that her family’s move into the beautiful six-bedroom house has been delayed after the couple discovered structural damage.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Jacqueline shared on a social media account dedicated to the renovation project a photo of severe damage to the floor in one of the mansion’s rooms.

The former I’m A Celebrity star expressed her disappointment in a lengthy caption that read: ‘Stunning. Lovely! Great! Just what we need. Good job we did decide to change the bathroom.

‘Cannot wait now for this all to be over!! Having a moment guys!! This is not all fun and games!! Anyone else find it’s ticking one thing off this list but adding 4 more.. Constantly.’

The doting mother also suggested that the inconvenient discovery would push her family’s move-in date back, adding: ‘We was hoping to be moved in within 2 weeks. Time to take a breathe.’ [sic]

Jacqueline and Dan share children Ella, six, and Mia, two, while Dan also has a son named Teddy, seven, from a previous relationship.

Earlier in March, it was revealed by MailOnline that Jacqueline and husband Dan’s new property has six bedrooms, plus five en suites – and the luxurious property spans across three floors.

The couple announced this month that they had finally collected the keys to their ‘forever home,’ with Jacqueline telling her fans she ‘loves’ the space and is ‘so proud’ of the family’s new beginning.

The house also boasts a large kitchen and living room, as well as an additional study, fireplace and garden, while Jacqueline and Dan’s room has its own desirable dressing area.

The detached property was on the market for £1.2 million before they bought it.

Jacqueline, who married ex-TOWIE star Dan in 2017, said: ‘We have waited a while but we picked up the keys to our forever home.

‘It needs some tender loving care, a lick of paint and some tweaks. I love love love it so much. I’m so proud.’ 

The house even has a cinema room complete with a large screen and comfy seating area that will give Jacqueline and Dan’s children the space to watch films, as well as give the couple a romantic spot for date nights.

Elsewhere in the house, the bedrooms are spacious with wooden floors, giving the couple the chance to expand in the future if they decide to have more kids.
