EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders' Jamie Borthwick opens up about Strictly training as he juggles filming on Albert Square, and how pro Michelle Tsiakkas has to sometimes 'get him off his bum'

With his dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas by his side, it’s clear that Jamie - who plays Jay Brown on Albert Square - has formed a close bond with the professional, as they giggle together during our chat. Since Strictly kicked off in September for its 20th series, Jamie has been impressing judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood with his improvement each week. When we get together with the pros, we all form one big group, and honestly, it’s a really good place to be.” While Strictly mania - and long rehearsal days - has been taking over, soap fans will be happy to know that Jamie hasn’t abandoned his fellow Walford residents.
