EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick makes a last-gasp bid to clean up his act after disabled slur scandal and BBC suspension
EASTENDERS star Jamie Borthwick is set to save his BBC career after “sincerely apologising” for his behaviour and making a last-gasp bid to clean up his act.
The star accepted the “karma that has come my way” after his sickening disabled slur led to his suspension.



He is booked in for high-level talks with corporation bosses and there is a growing belief he could eventually continue in his role as Jay Brown in Albert Square.
It comes after the 30-year-old was suspended following The Sun on Sunday’s revelation last weekend that he blurted out the hurtful term “m********s” while on the Strictly Come Dancing set.
Jamie used the offensive phrase to pour scorn on Blackpool, which is seen as the jewel in each series of the BBC‘s prime-time family show.
As part of his bid to save his acting career, he this week sent a heartfelt message to a former partner, conceding it was “not clear” if he’d be returning to EastEnders.
But he told how the circumstances had given him time to reflect on “decisions that have led me here”.
Jamie said: “I accept the karma that has come my way due to some bad choices.”
He went on to say he is “attempting to right the wrongs in my life”, and “want to sincerely apologise for the mistakes I made and for hurting you and how I handled the whole situation”.
And he added: “Had I the opportunity to turn the clock back I would do so and do everything differently.”
The Sun told how Jamie issued the vile video while standing alongside GoCompare opera singer Wynne Evans.
The duo were in Blackpool for week nine of the Strictly TV series show in November last year when Jamie sent the obscene footage to a pal.
The EastEnders star, who joined the soap in 2006, said in a public apology: “I am deeply sorry for any offence and upset my words and actions have caused.
“It is no excuse, but I did not fully understand the derogatory term I used and its meaning. That is on me completely. Now I am aware, I am deeply embarrassed to have used the term and directed it in the way I did. It was wrong.
“When I made the video, I was excited and caught up in the moment. Again, that is no excuse. But my regrettable actions are not a true reflection of my views, or who I am.
“I enjoyed every minute of my time in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and the town itself.
“The people of Blackpool have always been amazing with the Strictly crew, dancers and cast members. I know they will be again for this year’s show and those in years to come. I am truly sorry.”
The BBC said his language was “entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect”.
Disability charity Scope said Borthwick should reflect on what he said and educate himself. “We hope he takes the opportunity to get to know the reality of disabled people’s lives,” said the organisation’s media manager Warren Kirwan.
In April, The Sun told how Jamie and Wynne were rapped by BBC bosses for sharing a backstage joke over a sex toy video when the Strictly tour was in Birmingham.
A source told us last night: “Jamie has been reaching out to people off his own back and trying to sort his life out once and for all. He is genuinely remorseful. He’s a young man with his acting career stretching out ahead of him.
“He will be forced to stay at home for a while and acknowledge his misdemeanours. A lesson is being learned. But it’s good news for fans that there is a good chance that we haven’t seen the last of Jamie in Albert Square.”


Brad Pitt rocks a very bold blue outfit as he heads out for another date night with girlfriend Ines de Ramon
BRAD Pitt has debuted yet another quirky look — this time while out on a cosy dinner date with girlfriend Ines de Ramon in New York.
The 61-year-old two-time Oscar winner, currently promoting his new racing film F1, was spotted hand-in-hand with Ines, 32, as the couple made their way to a Manhattan restaurant on Saturday night.



The pair, who began dating in 2022, were all smiles as they to their date, with Brad wearing a bright blue velvet blazer, loose denim jeans, and a half-buttoned striped shirt.
He rounded off the outfit with black shoes.
Ines, one of the bosses at Anita Ko Jewelry, wore a white sleeveless top with feathered trim and matching trousers.
The fine accessories expert added a necklace and small earrings for the couple’s night out.
It’s not the first time Brad’s style choices have raised eyebrows lately.
Earlier on Saturday he’d been seen filming with Jimmy Fallon in yet another unusual outfit. His recent appearances have sparked talk from fans he is in the midst of a full-blown midlife makeover.
Followers have compared his latest looks to his Fight Club character Tyler Durden.
The connection was made even more obvious when he stepped out recently in a lavender silk shirt, unbuttoned at the top, with black velvet trousers and a fresh buzzcut.
Brad donned the look for a double date with his pal Bradley Cooper, 50, and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 30, for dinner at the exclusive COTE Korean Steakhouse.
The couple were seen exiting a Midtown building shortly after Brad was forced to deny speculation that he’s using his relationship with Ines to generate publicity for F1.
His new film, F1, is due out June 27 and directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski.
It also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem and Tobias Menzies.
While pushing the film, Brad also made rare remarks about family — amid ongoing public distance from the six children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
The pair’s divorce began in 2016 and was finalized last November. They share adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 20, as well as biological children Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the film’s premiere in Mexico City, Brad said: “No matter the mistake, you just learn from [it] and move on. It’ll lead to the next success.”
He added: “When you get to my age, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back. Friends, family, and that.”
