Strictly Come Dancing’s Jamie Borthwick has reportedly been dumped by his girlfriend, who branded him a ‘boy in a man’s body’ amid his shocking sex toy scandal.
The EastEnders actor, 30, has seemingly found himself the latest victim of the BBC show’s infamous curse after splitting from Chloe after secretly dating for a year.
It comes as the soap star and his Strictly Come Dancing co-star Wynne Evans were reportedly blasted by BBC bosses over a sex toy video, which emerged on Saturday night.
In footage obtained by The Sun on Sunday the two stars, who took part in last year’s line up of the show, were filmed backstage after the opera singer sent a sex toy to the actor.
Chloe, who remained out of the spotlight and was pictured only once with Jamie in October 2024, is said to have ended the relationship following his stint on the Strictly tour earlier this year.
According to The Sun, Jamie’s sex toy scandal has now reassured her that she made the right decision, with a source told the publication: ‘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.
‘Seeing the video of him with the sex toy and acting so weirdly made her realise it was the right choice. Jamie acts like a boy in a man’s body. She doesn’t have time for that.’
The footage was filmed just two days after Wynne was recorded making a vile sexual comment to Jamie about pro dancer Janette Manrara, the video sees Jamie explaining the toy was sent to Birmingham’s Utilita Arena reception by Wynne.
In it Jamie smiles as he holds up the rubber toy, then points the camera at Wynne who is seen shirtless as he practices with professional dancer Neil Jones.
Jamie says: ‘Look at what he bought me. I opened it up and he surprised me with this, didn’t he. It’s so funny.’
Jamie reportedly shared the offensive clip on the Strictly contestant Whatsapp group.
A source told The Sun: ‘As soon as BBC executives were made aware of this shocking and immature footage being shared they formally addressed the issue and reminded the pair they had to act professionally.
‘The men were acting extremely immaturely and inappropriately, considering it was a family show, and many cast members didn’t share their crass sense of humour.

Wynne was recorded crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with the presenter, using the hugely demeaning term ‘spit roast’. Janette did not make a complaint against the singer (seen)
‘Bosses were horrified and shocked, hoping to nip the issue in the bud, unaware the video had been shared more widely.’
They added that the pair thought the video was funny, yet while they saw the hilarity, others didn’t, especially as Strictly is a family show.
MailOnline have contacted the BBC as well as Wynne and Jamie’s representatives for comment.
It comes after Wynne broke his silence amid his most recent scandal, as he took to his Instagram Story on Sunday to share a post about his mental health.
He shared a selfie captioned: ‘Hey it’s Sunday. Doing ice therapy tomorrow gonna be wicked #happy #mensmentalhealth.’ Wynne shared the same selfie with a different caption two days earlier about ‘telling his truth’.
Also sharing a snap of a plunge pool in his garden, Wynne wrote: ‘Ice bath view. Love to you all #mentalhealth.’
He took yet another swipe at Strictly as he confessed he ‘can’t wait to tell the truth’ on Friday.

Wynne was recorded crudely suggesting a three-way sex session with Janette, using the hugely demeaning term ‘spit roast’.
Janette did not make a complaint against the singer, yet he apologised for the vile remark aimed at tour host Janette, when footage emerged of the comment at the tour’s press launch. He was then axed from the tour.
The star believes he has been ‘unfairly treated’ by the BBC after his controversial joke was reportedly a ‘known nickname for a co-star and taken as banter within his Strictly circle.’
And despite the controversy Wynne hinted he is set to break his silence on the show’s scandal as he took to his Instagram Story.
Sharing a selfie he wrote: ‘Hey all happy Friday. #truthwins #cantwaittotellthetruth #Wynners’.
‘And I think we all agree, as Strictly fans, that it should be protected and looked after because we love it and it brings so much entertainment to people.’
Strictly judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse began to applaud, but Craig Revel Horwood did not join in, The Sun reported at the time.
Jamie continued: ‘I’ve honestly had the most amazing experience with every single person, including my lovely new sister Michelle. She’s absolutely fantastic.
‘And I just want to thank every single person for all their support all through the show. It’s been brilliant. Thank you so much.’
Jamie went on to win the tour’s glitterball trophy on the final night of the live shows.
