TOWIE’s Dan Osborne is furious at missing competition winner after he drove three hours to congratulate them – and blew his tire in the process

Dan Osborne was really angry when the winner of a competition wasn’t home after he’d driven three hours to personally congratulate them. To make matters worse, he got a flat tire during the trip.

Former reality TV star, 34, posted on Instagram Wednesday about a long drive he took to meet someone who won a prize from his company, Prize Paradise.

When Dan arrived in the North, he discovered he couldn’t reach the winner. They didn’t respond to calls or answer the door.

To top it off, Dan discovered a crack in his wheel during the trip, and now he’s worried about getting back south in time to collect his kids from school.

Dan shared a video from the garage where his car was being fixed, and explained his frustrating situation: a three-hour drive to collect a horse he’d bought for £30,000 turned into a nightmare when the owner wasn’t there, wouldn’t answer calls, and he discovered a cracked wheel and a flat tire.

‘So I’m now in Nottingham at the tire shop, been here for the last hour and 10 minutes.

The wheel is currently being repaired, and I need to return in three hours to collect the children from school.

Dan asked how his friend’s day was going. His friend responded that they hadn’t been able to go to the gym – they wished they could have been working out, but that’s just part of the job. He explained that sometimes things don’t go as planned, but you have to keep trying. Luckily, there were some competitions happening later that evening, which was good news.

Dan added: ‘And if you do win and we’re coming to meet ya then please be in.’

He shared a video with the caption: ‘Drove three hours to surprise our £30,000 prize winner, but he wasn’t home, even after we made arrangements! He’s not responding to calls, and to top it off, he has a cracked alloy wheel and a flat tire. Amazing!’

This follows difficulties in Dan’s relationship with Jacqueline Jossa last year, when they temporarily split up and he moved out of their home.

Despite past difficulties, the couple has been getting back on track in recent months, and they even took a family vacation to Spain last month.

But in October, Dan was seen liking photos of another woman in a bikini on Instagram, and Closer magazine reported he had returned to his previous behavior.

Sources say Dan has been engaging with model Rosey Victoria’s social media, and one insider told a magazine that he has a history of being unreliable.

Jac loves Dan deeply and is determined to make their marriage succeed, no matter the sacrifices involved.

However, he seems unable to change, and his friends are concerned he’s repeating past mistakes.

However, The Daily Mail reports that Dan and Rosey are friends and follow each other on social media.

Jacqueline and Dan have had a challenging marriage, marked by accusations of infidelity against Dan over the years.

Dan had moved out of the family home in March last year when they briefly separated.

The couple then took a crucial trip to Mexico, hoping it would strengthen their relationship. In June, they celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary with a romantic stay at a luxurious hotel in London.

Jacqueline shared a look at her and her partner’s stylish hotel room on Instagram, revealing views of St Paul’s Cathedral from the five-star Pan Pacific Hotel.

She also shared a snap of her husband Dan gazing out the window at the London skyline.

She celebrated her 8th wedding anniversary with a post, adding a tearful-eyes emoji and a heart-hands emoji to the caption.

The actress shared a picture of a big bunch of pink flowers and a bottle of sparkling wine with a custom label saying, ‘Cheers to you beautiful.’
