Jamie’s Suspension Sparks Big Questions At The BBC
Jamie Borthwick has played Jay Brown on the BBC soap for years, but now his future looks uncertain.
Things took a turn when MasterChef host John Torode was sacked. People are comparing both cases and not staying quiet.
One source said the difference is confusing. Why was one fired and the other allowed back on full pay? Some BBC insiders are baffled too. Disabled staff are now asking why slurs about them seem to be taken less seriously. And no one is offering a clear answer.
EastEnders: Jamie Speaks Out In Public Apology
Jamie tried to make things right last month. In a long public message, he apologised for what he said. “I was caught up in the moment,” he admitted. “But that is no excuse.” He called his actions wrong and embarrassing. And said the term he used does not reflect who he is.
He spoke kindly about his Strictly experience in Blackpool. He praised both the town and its people. But for some, it was not enough. Disability charity Scope said he should take time to understand how disabled people live.
Meanwhile, the BBC issued its statement. They said his words were entirely unacceptable. But they still have not answered why he was not fired. The silence is growing louder now. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
Please just stop ruining people’s career for one off instances! You will end up sacking half the BBC at this rate! We love seeing him on EastEnders and feel he’s generally a good person!
I agree with the above comment, he has apologised and like he said he was caught up in the moment, which you can be damn sure he would never be caught up again and learnt from this. He who has never sinned cast the first stone.
You can’t sack him over one comment he’s been a steadfast actor since he was a child he’s one of the good guys but even good guys slip up now and again
Wowser! Lets ruin everybody’s career of those employed by the corrupt BBC. Why are people who knew about Saville, Harris et Al still employed by the BBC or nicely pensioned off ? These people have apologised and owned their behavior, none of it criminal and no charges against them legally. Let them move on. Cancel your TV license, No one pays it these days. Let the BBC die, like the misogynistic Auntie no one talks about anymore.
Totally agree with everything that people have said above. He is a great young actor, leave him be
