I was on EastEnders for eight years where you got a set pay cheque every week."It was a set pay cheque and I didn't have to do anything else.

It was my comfort blanket, it was what I knew. Then it just wasn't."There's no such thing for me as maternity pay, so when I had kids I had to leave and I had to do magazine covers to make money to feed my kids."The actress went on to discuss how she managed to make enough money to be able to feed her kids before entering the I'm A Celeb jungle in 2019.Jacqueline continued: "Once you're gone, when you're not on the show, you don't have money.

Done! You're not paid anything else."I'm going to have to do like a shoot. People go, 'Why are you selling your soul?' I'm feeding my kids.
