STRICTLY Come Dancing star Jamie Borthwick’s rumoured girlfriend Jazzy Phoenix has managed to bag herself a huge new role away from Walford.
The actress, who was previously linked to another of her co-stars Bobby Brazier, rose to fame for playing Nadine Keller on the BBC soap opera.
Nadine grew close to Jamie’s character Jay Brown on the programme following the death of his wife Lola Pearce-Brown.
She later attempted to fool Jay into thinking she was pregnant with his baby.
Nadine was last seen on the soap in the Spring with Jazzy now having managed to capitalise on her soap fame with a big new theatre role.
The actress has landed a role in the stage play, Come What May.
Teased as “ultimate celebration of the iconic movie-musical Moulin Rouge”, she will be joined by former Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard and his brother Curtis for the role.
Confirming the touring play on Instagram, the show’s promoters said: “Welcome to the Moulin Rouge! Meet the dazzling stars of the 2024 UK tour of Come What May!
“These extraordinary performers are ready to light up the stage with their electric energy, stunning vocals, unbelievable dance moves, and the kind of passion that’ll make your heart soar.”
They included a photo of Jazzy as they geared up excitement among theatregoers with her inclusion.
The play will tour across the country this September and October whilst Jazzy’s rumoured love Jamie is competing on this year’s Strictly.
Earlier this week, Jamie continued to fuel speculation that the pair were an item after seemingly remaining close months after Jazzy left the BBC soap opera.
They are often snapped together on social media and this week was no different.
The duo posed for a selfie, with the blonde actress captioning it: “The weekly gossip = complete.”
The stars then filmed a carpool karaoke as they sang a version of Nobody Knows Me Like You Do, from Disney film High School Musical, before finishing with a rendition of Start of Something New.
Jamie, 30, and Jazzy, 23, previously sparked rumours they were dating back in December.
Jazzy shared a photo of her resting her head on Jamie’s shoulder.
The picture has got fans talking, with some convinced that this is more than just an on-screen romance.
One wrote: “They would make a great couple,” while another posted: “Are they an item?”
Throughout its 20-year history, Strictly Come Dancing has welcomed several stars from BBC soap EastEnders. Here's a look at how some of them did over the years.
