Jacqueline Jossa sparks debate over daughters' new school shoes
Eastenders star Jacqueline Jossa has sparked a debate online after sharing a video of her daughters' new school shoes.
While we are in the middle of the school summer holidays, it's never too early to start thinking about the kids going back to school - especially the parents who already feel they're in need of a bit of peace and quiet.
But with the return to the classroom comes a lot of spending, from the cost of shoes to new school uniforms.
One celebrity mum who has already got the kids covered for back to school is former Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline, who shares two daughters with her husband, former TOWIE star Dan Osborne.

Jacqueline took to Instagram earlier this week to reveal she had 'beaten the rush' and had her girls ready for school weeks before the start of September.
In a paid partnership with Deichmann UK, little Mia and Ella certainly look delighted with their new shiny shoes, obviously they haven't realised what the new shoes mark the return of.
Jacqueline's daughters posed in cute patterned dresses and cardigans, with their hair tied up in pigtails.
Mum Jacqueline filmed them getting ready in the sweet clip, from the relaxing nature of pyjamas to school smart clothes in just one jump. Clever editing, that is for sure!
At the end of the video, Jacqueline was seen getting ready for the school run, with the trio heading out of the door, pretending to embark on the school run.
Captioning the post, Jacqueline wrote: "Brownie points for me! I’m getting ahead of the Back to School rush with the help of @deichmann_uk who are offering buy one get one half price on all kids’ school shoes. With brands like Kickers, Nike and Hush Puppies there’s something for every kid."
The sweet clip was met with a mixed response, with many complementing the youngsters' dress and cardigans and asking the mum where they can get their hands on the cute outfits for their own little ones.
However, others were less complimentary about the shoes.
"£30 for school shoes that will be scuffed in minutes don’t seem fair to me," one person said.
A second added: "Wouldn't last my bam bam 2 minutes unfortunately a waste of money for us."
Meanwhile, a third remarked: "I brought my granddaughter a pair of shoes from here and they lost their coating on the first trip to the park!!"
And another pointed out: "Yeah, but you won’t be struggling to pay for them like some folk, you get them free."
What are your thoughts on splashing the cash on school uniforms?
