Jacqueline Jossa has been left furious after being called plus-size, despite being a size 12-14.
The former EastEnders star took to social media after receiving messages from followers asking why she had called herself plus-size.
Jacqueline, 27, denied calling herself plus-size but admitted she had previously been called the term.
The mum-of-two who recently partnered with In The Style admitted that she is not plus-sized or a model, despite various social media comments.
She later admitted that she is embracing her figure and shared her thoughts on the term “plus-sized”.
Speaking on Instagram, she said: “Yesterday I got quite a few DMs of people saying to me, ‘You’re not plus-sized, why do you call yourself plus-sized.

“I’m much bigger than you, how do you think that makes me feel?’
“Understood. I don’t call myself plus-sized. I’m not plus-sized. I’m like size 12.”
The reigning I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! champ went on to say: “[An article] said I am embracing my new plus-sized model body or whatever it was.
“One, I’m not a model. Two, I’m not a plus-sized model.”

The actress continued: “I don’t see myself as plus-sized, I’m not a plus-sized model.
“But if people want to call me plus-sized, then I’m fully here for it because there’s nothing wrong with being a slightly larger woman, or slightly smaller, whatever it is.”
Speaking about the phrase, Jac added: “I hate the word the plus-sized, I really do, I think it’s really sh*t.

“I’m a size 12 and I don’t claim to be something different. I am not ashamed of how I look.”
She went on to say: “I like my size 12 body and I like my size 14 a***, it is what it f***ing is. I’m here for it.
“Would I like to be slimmer? Probably. Can I not eat pancakes for breakfast? No. Swings and roundabouts.”
Jacqueline had previously said that she no longer cares about being a size eight and was now a size 12-15 because of her “big legs and bum”.
She added that she was “here for it” if she was plus-sized.
