Strictly Come Dancing star Jamie Borthwick has been accused of cheating on his girlfriend while on the show as he faces backlash for being involved in a sex toy scandal

Jamie Borthwick’s ex girlfriend has claimed he cheated on her during his time on Strictly Come Dancing and while on the UK tour. The EastEnders actor, 30, is facing claims he two-timed two women amid his sex toy scandal with Wynne Evans.

He has recently found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons as last week it was reported he’s been dumped by his girlfriend, Chloe. Jamie was said to have annoyed his now ex after bragging about a sex toy GoCompare star, Wynne, sent him while he was on tour with the BBC dance show.

Despite supporting the EastEnders star, who almost made it to the final of the star-studded show, Chloe is said to have called it a day. Now, more details have emerged as to the real reasons behind the sudden split as she claims he had been cheating on her for months.

Jamie, who plays Jay Brown in the BBC soap, was busted when a mutual friend of Chloe had dinner with the other woman this month. The woman claimed she had been in a long-term relationship with Jamie, despite him also seeing Chloe.

She said they had taken a break from their relationship, but got back together “exclusively” in August – just before Strictly started.

According to the Sun, Chloe told a pal: “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. “

Chloe claimed they had even picked out names for the two dogs they were buying together and that he had promised to take her away at the end of March when the tour ended.

However, Jamie reportedly cancelled the trip and he said he was going on a lads holiday instead. Chloe later found out he had actually been to Amsterdam on a romantic break with the other woman.

She claimed he “doesn’t know where the plotlines on EastEnders finish and real life starts”. Chloe also added she is “disgusted” by Jamie and hopes “no other woman falls for his charms. ”

The extent of Jamie’s alleged double life came to light when the women were put in touch with each other by a mutual friend two weeks ago. They have exchanged messages of support and been comforting each other.

Chloe is upset as to how Jamie introduced her to his Strictly pals when she “now knows they were aware he was seeing someone else”.

Speaking of Jamie’s sex toy scandal, she said she is “not surprised” as he is “very good at deceiving people. “

Amid initial reports of their split, a source told The Sun: “Strictly was a whirlwind for Jamie and they managed to keep it going when he was on the show. But Chloe dumped Jamie when he finished the Strictly tour. She said she felt like Jamie didn’t have time for her. “

Earlier this month, footage emerged showing Jamie waving around a sex toy that had been sent to him by Wynne, 53. It was claimed the footage was shared within a messaging group that included other Strictly stars – who reportedly did not expect nor want to be included in an conversation that had a sexual connotation.

The clip is thought to have been filmed just two days after Wynne was recorded making a vile sexual comment to Jamie about pro dancer Janette Manrara. Shortly after, Wynne was axed from the live tour.

The Mirror has contacted Jamie’s representatives for comment.

As Jason Isaacs appears on the Jonathan Ross show tonight, we take a look at his daughter’s reaction to one of his most notable starring roles in his acting career

*Warning: Spoilers ahead for The White Lotus season 3*

As Jason Isaacs appears in the latest series of The White Lotus, the British icon’s daughters haven’t always been fans of some of their dad’s acting roles.

While he captivates audiences on The White Lotus, Jason is most notably known for his role as sinister Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter. However he confessed it “embarassed” his two daughters growing up.

The formidable father of Draco Malfoy, Jason played the patriarch of Slytherin house, and while it wasn’t a leading role, his long blonde locks made him quite the memorable character. However in a chat with Radio Times, he revealed his daughters Lily and Ruby weren’t keen.

He shared: “They hated it. Always found it embarrassing. You want to be introduced as yourself, and not, ‘This is my friend. Oh, by the way, her dad’s Lucius Malfoy. ‘” Jason, who has been married to Emma Hewitt for 25 years, is a proud father to Lily, 22, and Ruby, 19.

In The White Lotus’s third season, he steps into the shoes of Timothy Ratliff, who travels to Thailand with his on-screen wife Victoria and their three kids, Saxon, Piper, and Lochlan.

The Ratliffs are in Thailand ostensibly for Piper to consult with a monk for her thesis, but their holiday takes a turn when Timothy learns he’s under investigation by The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post for his dealings with Kenneth Nguyen and Sho-Kel.

He later finds out that the FBI has obtained evidence about Kenneth that could also incriminate him. After being overwhelmed with phone calls, Tim resorts to stealing Lorazepam from his wife Victoria in an attempt to distract himself from his mounting problems.

As he faces the possibility of jail time, viewers watch as Tim steals a gun and tries to take his own life, only to be stopped by Victoria. With just one episode left in the third season, it’s still uncertain how Tim’s story will conclude and whether his past will finally catch up with him.

In addition to the two roles mentioned, Jason has had a diverse career in both theatre and film, appearing in numerous TV shows, films, and stage productions.

He portrayed Georgy Zhukov in The Death of Stalin in 2017 and has featured in films such as Brotherhood, Awake, The OA and Star Trek: Discovery.

The full interview with Jason Isaacs is available to read in Radio Times.

Katy Perry has been slammed by Trace Cyrus, the brother of Miley Cyrus, in a wild rant on social media in which he hit out at her recent adventure into space

Katy Perry has been targeted by the brother of Miley Cyrus in a wild Instagram rant. Trace Cyrus took to the social media platform to unleash a bizarre tirade on the pop star on Friday. It comes as Katy, 40, has recently been mocked for her role in Jeff Bezo’s all-female Blue Origin space trip.

Katy took part on the 11-minute trip in the shuttle and sang to others during the flight before kissing the ground as they touched back down. But while people let their feelings over the stunt be known, Trace has hit out at the Firework singer for allegedly copying his sister’s career.

He blasted any attempts to stay relevant by the musician as something that “didn’y f***ing work”. He slammed her efforts for “backfiring” before urging her to “stop”.

In the Instagram video, Trace fumed: “I first knew Katy Perry, though, and her team were lame as f*** when her career was first dying. And they were like ‘Hmm, what can we do? Well, what worked for Miley? She cut her hair off and it broke the internet and everybody freaked out and she bleached it blonde. We should do that with you, Katy!'”

He then mocked Katy as saying that sounded like a good plan. Trace went on to say one of Katy’s previous recorded had came from sister Miley’s previous work, which led him to accuse the star of trying to do “exactly what the f*** Miley did and blow up”.

As the rant continued, Trace took aim at Katy’s space adventure before telling her to “stop”.

Despite Trace’s wild rant, he’s not the only person to think Katy’s space trip “backfired. The pop megastar, 40, was one of six women to fly in the Blue Origin NS-31 from Texas on Monday in a mission funded by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezo’s space exploration company.

According to PR and personal branding expert Mayah Riaz, what should have been a powerful moment of female empowerment turned into what she calls “a PR black hole”.

Speaking to the Mirror, Mayah said: “Katy didn’t just shoot for the stars – she launched herself into a PR black hole.” She added: ““The big question is why she did.

“In my opinion, this was a calculated brand move. Katy’s always been known for her eccentric image – she thrives on reinvention. A space flight fits with her whole ‘out of this world’ vibe. “

Mayah continued: ““Instead of applause, she got eye rolls. Even some fellow celebs weren’t impressed. Timing and tone are everything. With people struggling financially and worried about the planet, flying off in a billionaire’s rocket feels totally tone-deaf. ”

Former Love Island star Maura Higgins revealed a brand new look as she headed to music festival Coachella after rubbing shoulders with Kylie and Kendall Jenner at the event

Love Island’s Maura Higgins has revealed her brand new look as she rubs shoulders with Kylie and Kendall Jenner. The reality TV star has been spending time in the US following her kiss scandal with McFly’s Danny Jones.

She headed into the Californian desert for the iconic music festival Coachella and has showed off her dramatic transformation. Maura posed in a series of snaps at the sun-kissed festival as she donned a full red look.

The 34-year-old went as far as wearing a bright red wig as she embraced the vibrant colour in a button-up leotard with tasseled hem. Maura rocked a pair of matching cowboy boots and gave a smouldering look off camera.

She made sure to capture the fringe effect of her outfit by spinning around next to the ferris wheel. Maura revealed the look was her own creation as she said: “Hot-headed. Another custom look by me. Thankyou @ohpolly for making my vision come to life. “

While at the festival, the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star posted a photo from a private event which featured Kylie and Hailey Bieber hanging out at an 818 Tequila party in the festival.

The booze brand is owned by 27-year-old Kylie’s sister Kendall, 29. She wrote on the picture, shared to her Instagram stories: “Does this mean we’re besties now? “

Maura flew to LA days after she was caught on camera appearing to kiss her I’m A Celebrity campmate Danny Jones – much to the horror of fans and his wife.

She headed to the States for work, and she shared a snippet of what she has been up to on her TikTok channel last week. In the clip, filmed as part of her ambassadorship for fast fashion brand Oh Polly, Maura unleashed her inner cowgirl.

She captioned it: “Who’s ready for Coachella? ” Maura and Danny had been wrapped up in scandal since video footage emerged as the kiss put strain on the singer’s marriage to former Miss England Georgia Horsley.

The pair were seen looking close at a glitzy party before heading onto the five-star Nobu Hotel in London for more drinks. Danny subsequently addressed what happened in a grovelling apology shared on social media when his wife temporarily moved out of the family home to spend time with her friends and “get away”.

In a statement, the McFly singer said: “Hello everyone, sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me.

“I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately. I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny. “

Meanwhile, Maura shared snaps from her American getaway on social media. Despite painting a picture she has brushed off the scandal, sources told The Mirror it has been a tough few weeks for the star.

Maura also gave her own insight into her thoughts on being involved in the scandal as she ‘liked’ a fan comment on her recent post. A follower supported Maura and wrote: “You are unreal. Don’t listen to the haters. U are a diamond.”

Former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham enjoyed a celebratory family dinner for her 51st birthday – but her son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were nowhere to be seen

Victoria Beckham has seemingly sent a coded message to her daughter in law Nicola Peltz amid rumours of a family feud. The former Spice Girls singer took charge in style, sporting a custom corset she designed for her daughter-in-law.

The 51-year-old fashion icon turned heads at her birthday celebration this week, pairing a plunging white corset with sleek, tailored trousers. This striking piece was originally created by Victoria for US actress Nicola Peltz, 30, who is married to her eldest son, Brooklyn.

Nicola showcased the corset at the premiere of her film Lola last year, and in April 2024, she shared a throwback photo with Victoria to mark her 50th birthday, writing, “Happy Birthday to my beautiful MIL. ” However, this week, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola failed to acknowledge Victoria’s birthday, sparking speculation of tension within the family.

While Romeo, 22, and Harper, 13, attended a family gathering, Brooklyn was seen posting photos with Nicola at Coachella, fueling rumors of a possible rift. Despite receiving an outpouring of birthday wishes on social media, including from her husband David Beckham, 50, it was noted that her eldest son Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham remained silent online.

Taking to Instagram on Friday night, Victoria gave her followers a sneak peek at her lavish celebrations as she shared pictures of herself and David posing for the camera. The mum-of-four then posted a snap of herself climbing up a ladder off the yacht they celebrated on in her all-white outfit.

“It wasn’t all glamour last night,” Victoria jokingly captioned the shot – tagging husband David in the image. Earlier, the former Spice Girl hinted that Brooklyn and his younger brother Cruz Beckham, 20, were not present at her birthday bash, as they were absent from the photos she shared. The reason for their absence remains unclear.

She did reveal, however, that she was joined by David and their other children Romeo Beckham, 22, and Harper Beckham, 13, along with some friends. While Cruz was also missing from the party, Brooklyn was singled out as the only one who didn’t post a birthday tribute to his mum on social media.

Fans first noticed the apparent snub on his last Instagram post, which celebrated his third wedding anniversary with wife Nicola Peltz on April 9. Instead of acknowledging Victoria’s 51st birthday on Thursday, Nicola then posted a promotional photo of Brooklyn undergoing cupping therapy.

And just sixty minutes after Victoria shared some heartfelt birthday photographs, her eldest, Brooklyn Beckham, hit Instagram with a bunch of snaps from Coachella in California. He was living it up at the festival last weekend with his wife Nicola and captioned their memories with: “Made amazing memories this year x [heart emoji].”

It wasn’t too long before eagle-eyed fans noticed that Brooklyn and his partner Nicola, aged 30, were nowhere to be seen at David Beckham’s early birthday bash in Miami on March 30 either. Moreover, whispers started doing rounds when the pair also missed out on fashion icon Victoria’s latest Paris Fashion Week Show.
