Strictly’s Jamie Borthwick returns to social media after he’s accused of cheating on girlfriend
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Jamie Borthwick has returned to social media after being accused of cheating on his girlfriend.
The ex-girlfriend of Strictly star Jamie has told pals he cheated on her during the BBC dance show and tour.
Chloe Strand claimed the EastEnders actor told her he wanted to set up home with her while taking another woman away on holiday.
And he used his pal and Albert Square co-star Dean Gaffney to try to smooth things over, she told pals.
Jamie, 30, who plays Jay Brown in the BBC soap, was busted when a mutual friend of Chloe had dinner with the other woman earlier this month.
The woman said she had been in a long-term relationship with Jamie, who the mutual pal knew was also seeing Chloe.
Since the accusations emerged, Jamie has now returned to socials and celebrated Easter.
Spending the day at home, the actor took a photo of the TV screen with British TV drama Sharpe’s Mission on in the background.
He held up a Terry’s Chocolate Orange Easter egg in shot, and wrote to fans: “Easter Sunday with my childhood favourite on the box.”
His post comes after the woman said they had a break from their relationship but she got back together with Jamie “exclusively” in August.
Devastated Chloe, also 30, told a pal: “Jamie is devious and deceptive.
“He told me he loved me and he was planning our future.
“I was seeing him between March last year and earlier this month — but I’ve learnt he was also with another woman from around August.
“I met his friends, including his Strictly pals, on the tour. I was on calls with his family, and he was going to give me a key to his new property, and talked of me cooking him dinner when he got home.
“He’d even chosen the name of the two dogs we were buying together. But the whole time he was declaring love to another woman behind my back. How can anyone behave like this?”
Chloe revealed how Jamie had promised to take her on a trip abroad at the end of the tour in March — but then cancelled it saying he was going with his lad pals on a boozy weekend.
Now she has found out that he went to Amsterdam for a romantic break with another woman.
Chloe sobbed to a pal: “He’d been promising we’d head off abroad when he was done with the Strictly tour.
“I felt bad when he moaned at me for suggesting I wouldn’t let him go with his friends. Of course I didn’t mind. But now I know he was with someone else.
“I don’t know how he could be so cruel. It’s pure gaslighting. I’d been with Jamie the two weekends before he went away with someone else.
“When he was in Amsterdam he’d be messaging me, talking about what he was up to with the lads.
“Jamie doesn’t know where the plotlines on EastEnders finish and real life starts. I’m disgusted with him and I hope no other woman falls for his charms.”
Office worker Chloe met Jamie at party spot 100 Wardour Street in central London in March last year.
The actor was out with Dean, 47, who played hapless Robbie Jackson in EastEnders.
Chloe said Dean approached her, offered to buy drinks and asked for her Instagram.
She wasn’t interested and joked: “I prefer your mate.”
Later, Jamie found her on social media.
They started chatting, hit it off, and within weeks were dating.
But she has subsequently learned that Jamie was already seeing someone else — including during his time on Strictly last year.
They had dated for years, but after a brief break, were supposedly “exclusive” since last August.
The extent of Jamie’s two-timing became clear after the cheated women were put in touch by their mutual friend two weeks ago.
