Pregnant Jacqueline Jossa shares barefaced snap of her and daughter Ella despite saying she feels ‘ugly and low’
The actress assured her fellow mums that everyone has their down moments
JACQUELINE Jossa admitted motherhood and pregnancy can sometimes take its toll in a candid new Instagram post.
While the EastEnders star is often considered one of the most beautiful women in soap land, the 25-year-old confessed she is subject to a "low" moment every now and then.
Sharing a sweet make-up free selfie in tribute to her daughter, Ella, she wrote: "As a mother I barely have time to put make up on or wear a cute outfit without rushing here there and everywhere and I wouldn’t have it any other way."
Insisting that capturing life's precious moments is more important than how you look, she added: "This is me, poorly, sleepy, pregnant and make up free this morning!!
"I took a photo because me and Ella were having a cute moment reading a book together and then looked at the photo and thought holy moly poor me ahha!!"
The actress went on to encourage other mothers to take photos of the times that matter, even if they are feeling "ugly and low".
Jacqueline continued: "One of them ones where you feel even more unwell cos you look so bad😂😂 but I like the fact I can post and make others feel better to let people realise that we all feel ugly and low sometimes!
"Let’s still take photos and memory’s we will keep forever 💜 hopefully I look a bit more presentable tomorrow😂 sorry Guys!! Me and my darling love a cuddle in the morning."
Last month the actress revealed she and her husband Dan Osborne are set to welcome their second child together.
Announcing the news in, the happy couple admitted they "laughed" when they discovered they were expecting, as they hadn't planned for another addition quite so soon.
Dan, who also has son Teddy, four, from a previous relationship, confessed: "We hadn't been trying so it was a huge shock. I think I'm still getting my head around it.

"Kids are a blessing but having three children is going to be a big responsibility. I'm not going to lie, I feel quite scared!"
Earlier this month, Jacqueline was spotted hunting for a new property to fit their growing family, just weeks after admitting she was concerned about money after being written out of EastEnders.
Revealing her fears for her future, she confessed: “I had my suspicions that something might be going on because of the way my storylines were going, so I asked for a meeting to discuss what was happening.
“When they told me the plans I was really scared. Getting a job on a soap is a very comforting thing for an actress because it’s regular work.
“So when I realised that was being taken away, it did worry me.”
