DAN Osborne has said his wife Jacqueline Jossa “smashed it” as she took part in her first I’m Celebrity challenge.

Last night viewers watched as the former EastEnders actress walked a plank that was swaying 334ft above the ground.

Seeing it unfold at home, proud Dan told his fans:  “She’s smashing it.”

Filming his reaction, he later added: “That was a brilliant first episode. I don’t normally watch TV.

“Jac done really well. I think she is going to do great. (sic)”

Earlier in the evening Dan sat down to watch the show alongside his children Mia, Ella and Teddy – while all wearing matching jungle-inspired gear.

The former Towie star has been gushing over Jacqueline non stop since it was announced she’d be heading Down Under.

Speaking at The Float Like A Butterfly Ball in aid of the Caudwell Charity for disabled kids, Dan told The Sun Online: "We are rooting for Jaqueline.

"We miss her already. Thanks everyone for supporting."

Despite her best efforts walking the plank, Jacqueline – who was teamed up with Ian Wright -  was forced to spend the night in the rough camp and got basic rations.

She left fans in hysterics as she decided to sleep with pants on her head alongside Kate Garraway – to keep any creepy crawlies out.

Discussing her tactic, she said: “Do you think we can put a pair of pants on our head? I feel like I don't want something to crawl into my hair.”

She joked: “I remember the days when my knickers weren't that big.”

Clearly very excited about the whole experience, she told her campmates: “I'm actually losing my mind, think about it. I'm in the jungle and I'm sleeping next to Caitlyn Jenner.

“You probably don't think it's a big deal. It is a big deal. My friends at home, the group chat is going to be popping.”
