Jamie Borthwick first burst onto our TV screens in 2006 as cheeky 12-year-old Jay Brown in EastEnders, who was in town to attend the funeral of his grandmother, Evie Brown.
Once a tearaway who terrorised the locals shouting racist insults and breaking into Pauline Fowler's house, Jay has been on an rollercoaster journey including gang fights, several deaths and having to sign the sex offenders register.
But over 15 years later the character and actor are still going strong, after he was taken under Billy and Phil Mitchell's wing – becoming like a brother to Phil's son Ben and falling madly in love with Billy's granddaughter Lola.
