Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown on EastEnders, is no stranger to the world of dance. Having wowed audiences with his fiery paso doble on Strictly Come Dancing, the 30-year-old actor has become a fan favourite on the BBC One programme. During his appearance on Wednesday's episode of It Takes Two, presenter Janette Manrara asked him about his thoughts on his co-stars joining the show.
Janette mentioned that Tanya Franks and Adam Woodyatt, who play Rainie Cross and Ian Beale on EastEnders, were in the audience on Saturday to support Jamie. She asked him what Adam thought of his performance and if he would ever consider joining the competition himself. Jamie replied that although Adam is no stranger to reality TV, having appeared on I'm A Celebrity in 2021, he believes the veteran actor could be persuaded to join Strictly.
"I think he could be swayed to do Strictly," Jamie said, adding that Adam really enjoyed watching him perform on Saturday and has been to support other contestants in the past. "If you gave him a little push, he would definitely consider it," Jamie added.
Meanwhile, former Arsenal and England footballer Paul Merson was the latest celebrity to be voted out of the competition after his samba routine failed to impress the judges. His former colleague, Jeff, has since criticized the show's line-up for including too many contestants with a dance background.
Despite the elimination, Paul's former teammate, Jeff, believes that he deserved a spot on the show and that the decision to include so many contestants with dance experience is unfair to those who are new to the world of dance. He believes that the show should give a chance to those who may not have had any previous experience in order to make the competition fair.
As the competition continues, viewers can look forward to seeing more dazzling performances from Jamie and his fellow contestants, as well as the possibility of Adam taking on the challenge and joining the Strictly Come Dancing family.
