Exciting news for fans of the hit show Strictly Come Dancing, as it has been announced that Eastenders star Jamie Borthwick will be gracing the dance floor this year! But before his big debut, his former onscreen love interest Jazzy Phoenix opened up about their close bond.
On the BBC soap, Jazzy's character Nadine Keller caught the eye of Jamie's character Jay Brown following the death of his spouse Lola Pearce. Nadine, who was looking for some financial gain, lied about being pregnant with Jay's child. However, the truth eventually came out and Nadine's plan was foiled.
Reflecting on their onscreen partnership, Jazzy shared on the Secure The Insecure podcast with host Johnny Seifert that they were both learning from each other. She added that Jamie's biggest lesson to her was to treat everyone with kindness, as he has a huge personality and has a special way of making everyone feel important.
Jazzy, who described herself as more reserved, also admired Jamie's captivating charisma and how everyone loves him. She explained how being around someone like Jamie, who is loved by all, makes her want to speak up more and be a part of the conversation.
The news of Jamie joining Strictly Come Dancing comes as no surprise, as he is one of the longest-serving actors on Eastenders, having been a part of the show since 2006. In fact, he even participated in the Strictly Christmas special last year and had a blast. So when he was asked to join for the upcoming series, it was an easy yes for him.
Jamie is looking forward to the challenge of learning a new dance every week and having the public vote for him. He also mentioned seeking advice from his former Eastenders co-stars who have also competed on Strictly. We can't wait to see Jamie salsa-ing around Albert Square and we'll definitely see him on the dance floor!
