Jacqueline Jossa gave fans a virtual tour of her expansive new £1million property on Monday which she shares with her partner Dan Osborne, 29, and daughters Ella, six, and Mia, two.
However, the big reveal was overshadowed by a grim suspicion from the actress, 28, as she feared a dead body could be buried underneath the floorboards.
Alerted by a putrid smell in the couple’s new cinema room, Jacqueline asked her fans how they could get rid of the gruesome odour.

But before that, she captured her stunning modern home – which is currently under renovation – after receiving the keys to her ‘forever’ property.
The kitchen featured glossy grey cupboards, a matching island which boasted a white countertop, and a stunning skylight above.
Jacqueline noted that some of the appliances weren’t working properly and that the space ‘didn’t get the love it needed’, as she commented on the state of the house: ‘It’s so much worse than I remember, so much worse. It makes me a bit sick’.
She proceeded to capture their vast yet unkempt garden space which she said is also in need of some ‘tender-loving care’.

The former EastEnders actress revealed two additional derelict outhouses on the plot, which she confirmed they would be getting rid of.
‘I can’t really look and I don’t know how long it’s going to take but this is where we’re at with the garden’ she added.
The mother-of-two also shared a series of sweet pictures with her family as they marked their first moments in the new house.
Jacqueline penned in the accompanying Instagram caption: ‘WE GOT THE KEYS. 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. We made a wanky home account give us a follow for updated LOVE YOU!! NEW BEGINNINGS!!!♥️’ (sic)
She went on to display their new paint buckets in grey hues – which she plans to use on the doors and walls – before talking about the suspected dead body underneath the ground
‘So how do you get rid of the smell that smells like there’s potentially a dead person living under the floorboards,’ Jacqueline said. ‘Daniel seems to think it’s just a cheese smell.
‘But even if it is a cheese smell, there’s no windows in this room that we’re in, right, and yes the carpets haven’t been cleaned, nothing’s been cleaned yet but the smell is very, very strong.

‘To the point where I’m pretty sure there is a dead person here. But how do we get the smell out?’
The new move signals a fresh start for the couple after the former EastEnders actress revealed she went to a therapist during lockdown in 2020, amid her marital woes with Dan.
She decided to move out of their family home after feeling that she needed some ‘space’.

‘It felt like everybody wanted to watch me fall apart,’ she told The Sun. ‘I kept it in for a while, but then over lockdown it was a really good time and place for Daniel and I to go through everything — an opportunity for us to talk through it all.
‘For me, this meant turning to therapy. And because of that, I couldn’t be in the same house as Dan. There was no big argument or bust-up, and there were no other girls. Moving out was literally how I had to deal with it.’
‘It really, really helped, especially in terms of communication, teaching us how to talk to one another better. Therapy is a really good thing, whether for yourself or for a couple. I don’t understand why it’s still frowned upon.’
She also addressed the women who have sold stories about her husband’s alleged infidelities.
‘Listen, you can’t stop the b*****s selling stories — that is fact, I know that. They can say what they want, Daniel and I know the truth,’ she hit back.’

Dan blamed the pressures of lockdown on the situation, adding that entertaining their children plus not being allowed their usual freedoms became too much and that they just needed ‘time apart’.
However, he insisted they had worked through their problems and were looking forward to having a ‘clean, fresh start together’.
He also said he’d like to renew their wedding vows as looking back on his wedding day amid a sea of negativity at-the-time had ‘tarnished it’.
Jacqueline and Dan have had their fair share of ups and downs with allegations of cheating on Dan’s part since they married in 2017.
The former TOWIE hunk later admitted he had been unfaithful to Jacqueline and that she had forgiven him for his past indiscretions.
Yikes! She said: ‘The smell is very, very strong. To the point where I’m pretty sure there is a dead person here. But how do we get the smell out?’
