EASTENDERS favourite Jamie Borthwick has been sensationally axed from the BBC soap after nearly two decades on Albert Square.
The 31-year-old, who joined the show as Jay Brown in 2006, was one of the longest-serving cast members still on the books.

But bosses have now told him his time in Walford is up.
In a shock move, BBC Studios confirmed the news.
A spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Jamie Borthwick will not be returning to EastEnders. We do not comment on individual matters.”
The actor, who plays Jay Brown in the show, got an Albert Square ban in June after The Sun on Sunday revealed a video of him using a severely derogatory term.
