Jacqueline Jossa forced to defend marriage to Dan Osborne after reports they were ‘barely speaking’

And fans are quick to back up the EastEnders actress

Jacqueline Jossa has defended her marriage to Dan Osborne after it was said the pair were 'barely speaking'.

The mum-of-one, who tied the knot with former TOWIE star Dan back in June, was quick to shut down any talk that there were issues in their relationship, after she was snapped looking glum while picking him up after a night out.

Taking to Twitter, the 24-year-old the actress told her 682k followers: 'I look annoyed because it was 3am, I was tired and someone was taking a pic of me...'

She added: 'I finished filming this morning at 2.30am, I text Daniel knowing he was out asking if he needed picking up, he did.. it's that simple.'

And her fans were quick to take her side: 'How dare a working mother look tired! The shame of it. Take no notice', said one.

This follower was full of praise for the 'good wifey': 'And who wouldn't at that time and what a good wifey to come out and pick him up #histurnnexttime'.

While another joked that this was ‘normal’ behaviour: ‘Normal newlyweds behaviour. 5 years time you'll be txting him to be quiet when he brings his own drunk ass home

This follower simply said: ‘You tell em. Bloody joke that you have to justify yourself x’

It was previously claimed that the couple, who share two-year-old daughter Ella, weren't too chatty with each other when they attended the recent My Little Pony: The Movie premiere in London.

A source told Star magazine: 'It didn't look like the glitz and sparkle of Ponyville had rubbed off on poor Dan and Jac, who both looked thoroughly miserable.

'I didn't see them exchange so much as a word; the only time they smiled was for the photographer.'
