Strictly Come Dancing bosses are said to have already signed up EastEnders' Jamie Borthwick for the 20th series of the dancing competition, set to air later this year

Jamie Borthwick of EastEnders fame has caught the attention of Strictly Come Dancing executives with his sizzling dance moves and has reportedly been snapped up for the show's forthcoming series.

However, the actor's involvement might raise eyebrows among the Strictly regulars as he'd already graced the dance floor in the December 2023 holiday special. A source told The Sun: "Although an EastEnders actor is on Strictly every year, this is the first time a performer on the festive special has gone directly into the competition. Producers and viewers were blown away by Jamie's dancing."

He confessed to OK!: "They have asked me actually", and added, "I can't remember what year, 2018 I think. But it didn't work out so I didn't end up doing it. But... yeah."
