Former TOWIE star Dan Osborne has admitted that he has cheated on wife Jacqueline Jossa in the past.

The couple have been together on and off for around seven years and have two children together, but have been dogged by rumours of Osborne's infidelity over the last few years.

The pair split for a brief period during the coronavirus lockdown but are now back on track and in a new interview with The Sun, Osborne admits that he has "made mistakes".

"I've done things I shouldn't have done. Me and Jac have spoken about that and she has forgiven me," he said. "I know in the past I've denied things when they're not true, then when something has been true, I probably just kept my mouth shut. I was a different person.

"It seems a cliché to say, but I was a young lad and on TV and stuff. I'm not saying you get big headed, but you get dug out for things anyway and then you're feeling shit in yourself. And then you get a bit of attention... then things are bad at home, so you go out and get pissed instead of working on fixing things.

"It's a bunch of mistakes all built into one that made it bad. So, I take full responsibility for being crap."

He continued: "There have been times where if it were the other way round, I would have left. I would have gone, so I've said to her 'I wouldn't blame you if you left me'. I've said that to Jac.

"I've said if it was the other way around I'd be gone, it's not like I've been brushing off any mistakes that I've made. I'm fully aware of them and I'm aware that it ain't right."

Jossa is the reigning queen of the jungle, having won ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year.
