BBC Strictly Come Dancing star takes shock potshot at three judges - but spares one
BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Jamie Borthwick has taken a shock swipe at THREE of the judges. BBC EastEnders star Jamie took to the dance-floor to perform his Viennese waltz where he only received a score of 23 points from the judges.
Jamie, who plays Jay in EastEnders, made a huge swipe at three of the Strictly judges. He was only given a score of 23 for his Viennese waltz and viewers slammed the judges after they seemed far from impressed with the scoring.
On It Takes Two, Fleur East welcomed Jamie and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas with the pair discussing the feedback. Fuming about the scores from the judges, an angry Twitter, now X, user rushed to write: "Judges - harsh much.

"Seemed far more critical than anyone else? I thought it was fab!" Jamie replied: "They were critical. But they were judges, it's what it's meant to be." He said: "Craig liked it! I'd much rather Craig love it than the other three."
Giving feedback, Craig said: "Well I think you are terrific actually, I love your energy." He added: "It needs a little bit of fluidity, it was a bit sort of jaggered throughout. But that performance I thought was absolutely wonderful."
The actor is best known for playing Jay Brown in BBC soap EastEnders – a role he has played since 2006, when he was just 14. His role on the series earned him a British Soap Award for “Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress” in 2008.
His other TV credits include the Lee Mack sitcom Not Going Out. When he was announced for the show, Borthwick said: “I had a ball doing the Strictly Christmas special last year, so when I was asked to join for this series it was the easiest yes!
“This is a fresh challenge and it will be so different to be learning a new dance every week and for the public to have their say. I’m hoping to be Salsa-ing around Albert Square in no time and I’ll be asking my Walford Strictly alumni for some words of wisdom. See you on the dancefloor!”
