EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick is gearing up to hit the dancefloor in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing, but he’s not giving up any of his worldly pleasures before the show. Despite the usual “sex ban” and “booze ban” that many contestants adhere to, Jamie has decided to forgo both restrictions. In a recent interview with MailOnline, the 30-year-old soap star revealed that he will not be participating in either ban, citing a heartbreaking reason for his decision.
Jamie confessed, “No booze ban for me – I’ve never drunk ever in my life and no one loves me, so I can’t do a sex ban! No bans for me, just loads of food.” His candid response sheds light on his personal life and the challenges he faces when it comes to relationships.
As the 20th anniversary of Strictly Come Dancing approaches, Jamie is eagerly anticipating the launch show where he will be paired up with a professional dancer. However, rumors have been swirling about a potential romance between Jamie and his EastEnders co-star Jazzy Phoenix. Despite only being on the show for a short time, the pair have been spotted getting cozy on social media, fueling speculation about their relationship status.
While Jamie has not addressed the romance rumors, he is focused on his upcoming stint on the dancefloor. Having previously won the Strictly Christmas special last year with pro Nancy Xu, Jamie is excited to compete in the main series and take on the challenge of learning a new dance every week. He expressed his enthusiasm for the competition, stating, “I had a ball doing the Strictly Christmas special last year, so when I was asked to join for this series it was the easiest yes!”
Joining Jamie on the dancefloor will be other famous faces such as former JLS star JB Gill and Love Island icon Tasha Ghouri. The return of Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday marks a fresh start for the show after facing backstage turmoil with ongoing investigations into allegations of abuse and mistreatment.
As fans eagerly await the new season, the spotlight remains on Jamie Borthwick and his journey on the dancefloor. Stay tuned for more updates on his Strictly Come Dancing experience and the latest showbiz news from the Daily Star.
