EastEnders favourite Jamie Borthwick is one of the famous faces due to take to the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor this weekend. Jamie, famed for playing Jay Brown in the BBC One soap, will be competing against the likes of Pete Wicks, Tasha Ghouri, Sam Quek, JB Gill and Chris McCausland to take home the iconic Glitterball trophy.
One thing he has been open about is both his own and his family's health, especially since running the London Marathon to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK. Both Jamie's father and uncle have overcome prostate cancer in the past. “I have terrible health anxiety, I’m a massive hypochondriac. Every day, I wake up and go, ‘what’s wrong with me today?’ I had a really bad phobia about being sick, emetophobia it’s called, it actually started with that," he explained to Irish News.
