EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick will continue on the show despite having to give up the opportunity to compete on Strictly Come Dancing.

Jamie Borthwick, a well-known actor and star of EastEnders, is set to make his debut on this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Having been a part of the soap since 2006, Jamie is one of the longest-serving actors on the show. Despite his busy schedule, the 30-year-old has confirmed that he will not be taking a break from filming EastEnders.

During the launch of Strictly Come Dancing, Jamie expressed his excitement for the upcoming show and also shared that he has had to let go of social events in order to focus on his role in the soap and his new venture on Strictly. He even mentioned that he had to miss his niece's first birthday due to his hectic schedule.

Joining Metro's Strictly community on WhatsApp, Jamie urged fans to join the channel to get all the latest news and rumours from the dancefloor. He also revealed that he was originally asked to participate in the show in 2018, but it didn't work out. However, after winning the Christmas special last year, he was approached again and this time, he couldn't say no.

For Jamie, it's not just about the dancing, but also about the people he gets to work with. He emphasized the importance of the people he works with and how they make a job more enjoyable. He also mentioned that he is looking forward to learning a new dance every week and having the public vote for him.

This will not be Jamie's first experience on Strictly as he previously won the Christmas special alongside pro partner Nancy Xu. He stated that he had a great time during the Christmas special and is excited for the new challenge of learning a new dance every week. He also plans on seeking advice from his fellow EastEnders cast members who have previously appeared on Strictly. Jamie ended his statement by saying, "See you on the dancefloor!"
