EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick is full of thanks for fans who've been praising his emotional performances this year - including those right here on Digital Spy.
What to Read Next
Jamie's character Jay Brown is currently on a break from Walford, but if you were worried that he was gone for good, the exciting news is that he'll be back in the not-too-distant future.
Jamie received high praise from viewers this year as Jay's ill-fated relationship with underage Star 'Linzi' Bragg led to him being branded a sex offender, sparking some powerful scenes.
Speaking to Digital Spy at the 2016 Inside Soap Awards, Jamie told us: "I was so flattered by every comment and I read a lot. I was just really happy because a lot of people were saying really lovely things about the performance.
"Thank you to everyone - especially on Digital Spy. My mum's quite an avid reader of Digital Spy, so thank you to everyone."
