More details: Visit websiteStrictly Jamie Borthwick's job once led to an unexpected family discovery when a new actor joined EastEnders and had the same name as his uncle.
Jamie Borthwick is currently wowing the judges and viewers of Strictly Come Dancing with his stunning performances alongside professional dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas. The 30-year-old actor has been impressing fans of EastEnders though since 2016 when he first joined the BBC soap as the young teenage tearaway Jay Brown.
His character has seen many highs and lows since then, with one of his most recent and hard hitting storylines seeing him nurse his dying wife Lola as she battled a brain tumour. But back in 2018, there was a new face in Albert Square, who it turned out had a very personal connection to Jamie.
Jamie recalled the mortifying moment in a previous interview with TV Times when he revealed that he had always been totally enamoured with Emma Barton , 47, who plays the wide-eyed Honey Mitchell and who also took part in Strictly in 2019. He was just a teenager when he first laid eyes on her and her beauty blew him away. ⁘I was about 14 when I first set eyes on Emma Barton ,⁘ he revealed: ⁘I fell in love with her long, shapely legs and I wanted to marry her.⁘
It was thanks to the mischievous Perry Fenwick, who played Billy, that he decided to act on it though. ⁘Perry told me to chat her up, and I remember walking over to her and saying, 'Alright darlin'... wow, you smell nice.⁘ It brought the house down and we still laugh about it now,⁘ he said. ⁘I love working with Emma. I won't say what it is, but we have something in common that's very rare and very special that brings us together. I still try and chat her up and say that one day, we'll get married, but she's having none of it!⁘
