Dan Osborne has opened up about his "unhappy" marriage to Jacqueline Jossa.

The former The Only Way is Essex star and ex-EastEnders actress married last year and announced they were expecting a second child together back in January.

Since then, the couple have been rocked by split rumours and both Jacqueline and her husband Dan have commented on rumours that they are separating, insisting that there are 'two sides' to every story.

Now, Dan is having his say.

Opening up about the split for the first time, the reality star has shared some more insight into the couple's decision to separate, revealing he was the one to leave and that he will (at least, temporarily) move back in once the new baby is born.

"I left because we were arguing and it is such a waste of energy," he told the Daily Star on Sunday.

"The way I look at life is every day spent unhappy is a wasted day, and we were both having a lot of unhappy days. I still obviously care for Jacqueline but if we can't make each other happy then we shouldn't stay together. Life is too short."

He continued to add that he "went through hell" with his ex-girlfriend, sharing that the most important thing for him now is to be happy.

"We argue at home so I go out because I don't want to be home arguing when I can be enjoying myself with mates," he explained. "I will move back to help before the birth and with the baby, but I don't know after that. The main priority is the kids."

Jacqueline is expecting her and Dan's second child this summer, with the couple already sharing a daughter, Ella, who was born in February 2015. The actress recently revealed that Dan would still be at the birth of their second child, despite their separation.

"Dan will be with me," she confirmed. "I'm going to stick to who I had last time, so I just had my mum and Daniel."
