In a surprising revelation, Jamie Borthwick, known for his role as Jay Brown on EastEnders, has made headlines with
his candid comments about balancing his personal life with his upcoming stint on Strictly Come Dancing. Despite the
intense training and commitment required for the show, Borthwick has declared he will not impose a “sex ban” on himself.
The 30-year-old actor, who gained recognition for his role on EastEnders, recently spoke about his excitement to join the
Strictly lineup after his successful appearance on the Christmas special in 2023. Borthwick revealed that while he is fully committed to mastering his dance routines, he is not willing to sacrifice his personal pleasures, including sex. “No booze ban for me,” he stated, humorously adding that he’s never drunk alcohol and has no intention of restricting his personal life.
Borthwick’s comments come ahead of his debut on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, where he will once again take to the dance floor, this time with a professional partner. Despite his busy schedule, which includes filming for EastEnders, Borthwick assured fans that he would not be taking a break from the soap. He has adjusted his schedule to accommodate both commitments, revealing that the EastEnders set is conveniently located near the Strictly studios, making it manageable to juggle both.
In addition to his professional commitments, Borthwick has been linked romantically with his EastEnders co-star Jazzy Phoenix, adding a layer of intrigue to his personal life. The two have frequently appeared in each other’s social media posts, fueling speculation about a potential romance.
As the new series of Strictly Come Dancing approaches, Borthwick’s approach to handling the pressures of the competition, combined with his candid remarks, has set the stage for an exciting season. With his previous success on the Christmas special and his ongoing role in EastEnders, fans are eager to see how he balances these demanding roles while embracing the challenges of the dance floor.
