JAMIE BORTHWICK CONFIRMED FOR STRICTLY COME DANCING

Jamie Borthwick is the tenth celebrity contestant confirmed for the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The multi-award-winning entertainment show, produced by BBC Studios, will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for its new series this Autumn. As Strictly celebrates two spectacular decades of dance, this series promises to be extra special with even more glitz, glamour and unforgettable performances. 

Jamie rose to fame for his portrayal as Jay Brown/Mitchell in the BBC continuing drama EastEnders which he has starred in since 2006. He is now one of the longest serving actors on the show. In 2008 his role in EastEnders earned him a British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor, he then went on to win ‘Best Actor’ at the Inside Soap Awards in 2023. Jamie won the 2023 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

Jamie Borthwick says: “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! This is a fresh challenge and it will be so different to be learning a new dance every week and for the public to have their say. I’m hoping to be Salsa-ing around Albert Square in no time and I’ll be asking my Walford Strictly alumni for some words of wisdom. See you on the dancefloor!”

The remaining celebrity contestants joining the new series will be announced in due course.
