Jacqueline Jossa’s husband Dan Osborne was reportedly arrested following a brawl at her 30th birthday party.
The former Towie star, 31, was held on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and has also been accused of actual bodily harm after a guest at the party supposedly left with a broken jaw.
It’s thought that Osborne was taken away from the party – held on November 6 – at their Essex home in handcuffs at around 3:30am when a fight broken out in the garden.
Several guests are thought to have been injured, with one taken to hospital for four days, requiring surgery.
One of the injured is thought to be Jossa’s 21-year-old cousin.
According to The Sun, the star’s wife broke down in tears after her ‘magical’ party turned into a nightmare.

The outlet says neighbours were woken up by the fight at the mansion, and Osborne was kept in custody and released on bail the following afternoon on suspicion of GBH with intent and ABH.
GBH with intent has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and ABH has a maximum sentence of five years.
‘It was a mass brawl that turned really nasty. A number of partygoers have been badly injured. One guest required facial surgery’, a source told The Sun.

The EastEnders actress shared a series of snaps from her birthday celebrations to Instagram the morning after, with no mention of an arrest. She also disabled the comments.
She described it as a ‘night to remember’ as she thanked the organisers, with her bash – named Jac Gala – including a magician, bouncy castle for the kids, a DJ, and photobooth.
