Jacqueline Jossa has taken to Instagram to call for body diversity in Love Island but finishes by saying "some men like curvy girls".

The former EastEnders actress, 26, who is married to Dan Osborne, has taken to Instagram to reveal she is gutted that the Love island line-up doesn't feature 'every size'.

The mother-of-two dedicated an inspiring Instagram post to body positivity and shared a snap of her in a bikini on a family holiday on a stunning beach setting.

In the lengthy post, Jacqueline opened up about adapting to her new curvier figure after giving birth to her daughters, Ella, four, and Mia, 11.

Tommy Fury

Tyson Fury's little brother (oh, did he not mention?) Tommy has a bod to kill for and has already won over half the house with his sparkly, sparkly eyes. We predicted he'd enjoy a prosperous reign, but what we didn't see coming was the whole nation falling in actual love with him thanks to his royal treatment of GIRLFRIEND Molly Mae and genuine bromances in the villa.

Ovie Soko

Ding, ding, ding – there's a new hottie in town. Ovie was head and shoulders above the rest of the Casa Amor competition – literally. The 6 foot 7 pro basketball player immediately caught the attention of Anna Vakili and women across the nation with his gorgeous smile, and quite frankly, PERFECT body. Anna has been playing him around in the villa, but he's handled her tantrums admirably and this makes him very, very, sexy.

Greg O'Shea

Just when we thought we'd been introduced to all that 2019's Love Island had to offer, in came three new bombshells just two weeks before the final – among them, charming Irishman Greg O'Shea. A professional Rugby player with a Law Degree who's studying for his solicitors exams, Greg has already won over the villa with "something about him" and his old-fashioned respect for the girls. With Amber currently facing a decision between Greg and Michael, we're team Greg 100%.

Chris Taylor

He may not have had much luck in the villa so far, but we can't help it – we've got a big crush on funny boy Chris. He's got a cool job, hilarious bantz and a face we could definitely fall in love with. We're almost hoping he doesn't get picked, so that we can have him.

Anton Danyluk

Ok, ok, so Anton's been a bit of an idiot over the last week or so by prioritising bantz with the lads over treating his woman Belle with respect. HOWEVER, it's clear he's embarrassed for the mistakes he's made in the house and we predict he'll do his best to make it up to her.

Tom Walker

DUMPED 27/5/19Former champion Michael was (notice the past tense) knocked off the top spot following the arrival of Tom Walker. You know, the model who rates himself "a solid eight" out of ten and says he gets complimented most on his jawline?However after his totally inappropriate comment about Maura Higgins in the hideaway he's dropped down a few pegs and despite his apology we're not sorry about it.

Jordan Hames

Another male bombshell and model, Jordan seems like a cheeky chappy who even had wonder woman Anna feeling "nervous" on their date. He describes himself as a "lads' lad" who is partial to a bit of "dabbling", and the general consensus is he's got hotter over time.Worth noting that he'd managed to keep Anna's attention even after she coupled up with basic adonis, Ovie Soko.

Danny Wiliams

DUMPED 9/7/19Danny settled in very well to the villa and Yewande Biala's bed, and he's certainly got abs you could cut paper on. HOWEVER when Arabella Chi entered the villa his head was totally turned and instead of being honest about it he withheld a lot of the truth from Yewande and the boys. So sorry Danny but liars fall to the bottom of our list.

Michael Griffiths

DUMPED 21/07/19Right, so we wanted to give Michael the benefit of the doubt mainly because we're shallow and he's pretty hot. But he has handled his recent Amber and Joanna love triangle with all the grace of a landlocked hippo and his constant accusations that everyone ELSE (except him, natch) is "immature" is so un-sexy. There's nothing less attractive than an ego-dented man flustered at getting caught out in the wrong, and this is pretty much all we've seen of Michael over the last week.

Callum MacLeod

DUMPED 7/6/19Our hopes were never too high for Callum, who ended up being the first to leave the villa just days in, but he was pretty easy on the eye.

Sherif Lanre

Booted 11/6/19Sherif has won us over with his heart of gold and his genuine adoration of Anna Vakili. We also actually really liked the shirt.Sadly Sherif made his shock exit on week two after "breaking Love Island rules". RIP Shanna.

Joe Garratt

DUMPED 18/6/19We don't want to be mean – but Joe just comes across as a little unfanciable. And despite catching the eye of current hottest totty Lucie Donlan, he's really coming across as v weird and uncomfortably possessive of someone he's known for just days.

George Rains and Marvin Brooks

DUMPED 9/07/19 and 12/07/19Both lovely looking lads, Marvin and George have been so utterly underwhelming during their time in the villa that we've failed to form any impression of their fanciability. Anyway, they're both gone now, so no surprises there.

Curtis Pritchard

Oh, Curtis. Curtis, Curtis.He started off at the bottom of our list, before swiftly moving up the ranks thanks to his romance with Amy but has no dropped riiiight back down after his unforgivable treatment of her.And with Amy now having been forced to leave after Curtis decided to crack on with her friend right under her nose, we're extremely peeved that he's able to continue enjoying his time in the villa, with no repercussions.

Jacqueline wrote, "If anyone is feeling a little gutted that they don’t look exactly like the insta models or love island ladies.

"Please know it’s so hard to love yourself for who you are and not find faults in many parts of yourselves. Every single person has something they don’t love about themselves! I don’t look the same as I did before having 2 beautiful kids!"

Jacqueline's post comes after Love Island has received criticism and backlash for the lack of "plus-size" contestants on the 2019 series line-up.

She continued, "I now have 2 amazing kids and I’m curvy! I didn’t used to love it. It was a big change from being 21 and slim, size 8 to all of a sudden a mother and a different body all together. I want to thank my body, my lumps and bumps for everything! I love you! Truthfully I honestly don’t really care what people think of my body because I love it! I’m still working on it but that’s okay!"

Jacqueline finished by saying, "I never thought I would feel sexy after Having 2 kids, thought it would be the end of the road for bikinis etc! Yolo !! Would be nice to see some more curvy ladies on love island this year. They are all beaut and every size is beautiful! I just think we should celebrate every size a little more. Some men line a curvy gal🤷🏽‍♀️�"""""

Jacqueline, who played Lauren Branning in EastEnders, finished by undermining her body diversity comments by saying, "some men like a curvy gal".

Because it's what men think about women's bodies that really counts, right? Oh, Jaq 🤦‍♀️
