Jacqueline Jossa puts on a very leggy display in a pair of tiny denim hotpants

She was pining for her husband Dan Osborne’s return while he is away from home.

Yet Jacqueline Jossa managed to make the most of her free time on Thursday, as she headed for lunch with some pals at Sheesh restaurant in Chigwell, Essex.

The I’m A Celebrity winner, 27, showcased her shapely pins in a pair of denim hot pants, as she dressed appropriately for the warm weather during her day out.

Jacqueline teamed her look with a simple white vest top, while opting for comfort in a pair of white leather slip on sandals and a Michael Kors bag.

Jacqueline kept her ensemble typically glamorous as she styled her long blonde locks in loose waves, while also sporting a full face of make-up in bronze tones. 

Following their lunch at the celebrity hot spot, the group – which included celebrity hairstylist Carl Bembridge – they hopped in the car for a group singalong.
