"I feel shy!," she confessed. "I want to start doing videos again, like, get ready with me's. I want to go to Zara, River Island, that sort of thing, New Look, Primark, high street brands, and pick a few bits and show you what I get. Because I really, really miss doing the videos."

Jacqueline then decided to take a swipe at In The Style as she accused them of not paying her the money she claims she is owed for working with them. She told her fans: "I used to do my collections with 'you know who' that has still not paid me!

"But I do miss doing them [the videos]. It is nice also to, like, not have the collections, because they were going on for over four years, it did get a bit dry, so I feel like I've got my mojo back a little bit."

Earlier this year, it was reported that the EastEnders star was considering suing the company, which was facing administration. She previously worked with the fast fashion brand on a string of collections, including a swimwear collection last year.

Sources had claimed the company has been failing to pay its talent for quite some time. Some were vocal about this on social media and stepped away from being associated with the brand, which was once worth an eye-watering £100 million.

While others previously threatened In The Style with legal action. Speaking to The Sun, a source claimed at the time: "Jacqueline is owed tens of thousands of pounds, certainly a five-figure sum, so she's consulting lawyers over what steps to take.

"What's infuriating is they're still selling clothes online, including from Jacqueline's collection." Jacqueline joined as the face of the company five years ago, with her deal rumoured to be around £1 million.

In February, social media influencer Carys Whittaker claimed the brand had purposely been withholding from paying her. In a statement shared with her followers, she penned: "In my 8 years online I have never spoken out about a brand but I can't stay quiet about this.

"I have worked with InTheStyle for the past 4 years and was due to have a collection launch soon which some of you knew about. I feel I have to say now that I'm no longer working with InTheStyle as they have been withholding payments that they owe me from last year's collections.

"I have spoken to others who have worked with InTheStyle and they are in the same position as me." In The Style saw its revenues drop to £30.4million for the year to March 31, 2024, down from £45.9million for the previous year.

They also slashed its headcount from 179 to 140 during this timeframe, after taking "significant steps to reduce operational overhead by investing in automation, clear strategic priorities and the removal of duplication of task".

A statement signed off by the board at the time said: "[This financial year] was a year of realignment and resetting operating practices for In The Style with focus being given to creating robust unit economics on which to trade the business, right sizing of the overhead and developing efficiencies arising from the wider group integration.

"Significant time investment has been made into our business intelligence and reporting suite to surface the right data on which to make robust trading decisions. Through the shift in the focus of the business from top line sales to relentless obsession on net contribution margin, the business has been able to drive significant margin improvements despite a reduction in toppling sales."
