The former TOWIE star, 28, was pictured leaving a night club with PR manager Stephanie Ledigo – who claimed she had never met Jacqueline, and insisted her relationship with Dan was purely professional.

One user commented online, "He’s a husband and father, so inappropriate for him to behave this way, even if it is all innocent."

Another added, "Even if it’s innocent, you would think with the amount of stories like this about him he would make an effort to avoid being with women alone."

A source reveals, "Jac was embarrassed by the backlash yet again. She thinks Dan puts himself into silly situations that will look bad to outsiders.

"She knows he’s just friends with Stephanie, but to go out partying and then look so close and cosy to her as they left the night club together seemed careless.

"Especially as he’s had to deny cheating rumours with her before."

Jacqueline and Dan married two years ago and share two daughters, Ella, four, and Mia, one.
