EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has addressed Jay’s shocking baby story.

Jay was in the middle of training to run the London Marathon in Lola’s honour when his ex-lover Nadine Keller returned this week to announce she is pregnant.

Jay tried to keep this news from his family at first, only for Nadine to spoil that plan by revealing everything to Lola’s daughter Lexi.

Ahead of emotional scenes next week where Jay runs the marathon, EastEnders cast member Jamie Borthwick spoke out about the chaos in his character’s life.

“[It’s] a bit all over the place really, at this particular moment on screen, the other little blondie’s about to walk back in, the little Lola lookalike, the Kiwi, so it’s a little bit all over the place at the moment,” he said.

“The marathon has kind of taken a little bit of a back seat with all this what’s going on with Nadine’s return and the Oppenheimer bomb that she drops so the marathon’s kind of taken a bit of a back seat and as we get a bit further down the line and closer to marathon day, you will all understand why.”

As for the news that Jay is going to be a father, Jamie insisted his character would “step up to the responsibility that he doesn’t want”.

“We all know Jay, he’s a good man as Perry Fenwick calls him, a good man, so he certainly lives up to responsibility,” he said.

“I think this dream sucks him in, he buys into it, and he finds no reason not to believe, so he goes all for it and steps up when people call on him because he is a good man.”

While Jay may feel conflicted about Nadine’s return to Walford, Jamie feels thrilled to work with co-star Jazzy Phoenix again.

“Do you know what, since her first spell, she has never really left — I’ve seen her probably three times a week since she went,” he revealed.

“We are great, great pals and really close, so I loved having her back at work. She is a really sought-after member of the cast, she fits in great, and everyone loves her. So I really enjoyed working with her again and loved having her back.”
