Strictly Come Dancing fans have said that the show will have to 'keep' one of the show's 2024 stars as they continue to show their love of dancing on the hit UK tour.
EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick is among the celebrities and their professional partners who have hit the road as part of the Strictly Come Dancing Live 2025 tour after taking part in the BBC One dance contest last year.
During Strictly's 20th anniversary series, Jamie was the ninth celebrity to leave the competition alongside his pro dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas. At the time, they landed in the dreaded dance-off for the first time during week ten of Strictly 2024 and went up against Olympian Montell Douglas and her partner Johannes Radebe, with the judges opting to save the latter couple.
Soon after his exit, which sparked outrage among fans, it was revealed that Jamie would be heading out on the road with the Strictly Come Dancing Live 2025 tour and the soap star has since been seen performing to thousands of fans up and down the country alongside Michelle and their co-stars.
And it's clear Jamie hasn't lost his love of dancing as in a video shared by Strictly Live on Instagram, the actor could be seen practising moves from his favourite dance - the Rumba. A message across the video read: "When you witness the most beautiful Rumba walks in the world," with viewers able to see Jamie practising while Michelle watched with pride.
The caption alongside the Instagram post then read: "Tbh, we’ve never witnessed rumba walks like it #StrictlyComeDancing #StrictlyLiveTour." And fans were keen to respond.
@nothingartyfarty said: "It's not just that he can dance, it's that he loves the dance everyone else hates. You'll have to keep him." @ashleigh_sarah_luckhurst commented: "Love this partnership, my favourite in years and Jamie's love for dance just makes it even better."
