Jamie Borthwick admitted he and Emma Barton were ‘struggling a bit’ as they got to mile 12 of the marathon.
EastEnders actors Jamie Borthwick and Emma Barton are running the London Marathon in character as part of a brain tumour storyline.
On Sunday, in a clip played on BBC One, the actors; Borthwick, 29, who plays Lola’s husband Jay Brown; and Barton, 46, who portrays Honey Mitchell, said their characters will run the marathon in honour of Lola. “We just really tried to make it as real as we could and our lovely boss dropped the idea to us that maybe our characters would run the marathon.”
The actress added that it is very “daunting” and said: “Really we’re relying on all the people that are gonna come to London and just cheer us on and that’s gonna just get us through and we’re gonna love it.”
