Jamie Borthwick wooed me with talk of marriage while dating two other women… everyone needs to know what a snake he is
TWO-timing Strictly favourite Jamie Borthwick cheated on two lovers with a third woman, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
The EastEnders actor discussed kids, dog names, and a future life in his new home with smitten model Jordan Dwyer.
He targeted the Ocean Beach worker after spotting her pin-up looks on the online account of the VIP club in Ibiza.
But after finding out Borthwick was stringing her along at the same time as two other women, Jordan, 25, confided to a friend: “It has been a genuine heartbreak for me.
“I don’t think he’s realised what he’s done.
“He thinks it’s fun and games telling a girl you really like her, and see a future with her.
“He made me dream of a life together.
“He sold me a lie for more than six months.
“He seemed like the most perfect guy — but now I know the truth.”
Borthwick romanced Jordan during luxury weekend breaks in the Cotswolds — fibbing to hotel staff that they had just got engaged to get special treatment — and by immersing her in his glamorous Strictly lifestyle.
The BBC heart-throb paused to wave at Jordan at the end of a dance number on the show as crowds roared their approval — leaving her certain he meant his declarations of love.
After learning how she was a victim of a previous violent relationship, he even reassured Jordan that she could trust him.
But she was distraught to learn of his lies — and that he had made identical vows to two other unsuspecting women.
We told last month how Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown in Albert Square and was partnered with Michelle Tsiakkas in last year’s Strictly, told two women he loved them and planned a future with both at the same time.
Like Jordan, the duo were devastated to learn he had lied to them.
When he got rumbled, Borthwick frantically turned to his former EastEnders colleague Dean Gaffney for help — and he waded in to try to appease the cheated women, Chloe Strand and Georgina Shave.
The hapless Robbie Jackson actor was also drafted in as the relationship with Jordan failed.
Other similarities she endured included Borthwick, 30, discussing the names of their future kids and introducing her to Strictly pals and family and friends.
Now I know he was seeing multiple girls and was worried about getting caught out.
Jordan Dwyer
Jordan — a Dublin-born content creator, model and waitress — was living in Ibiza when she first met Borthwick.
She told her pal: “Jamie is a regular at Ocean Beach.
“Last August, one of the guys said he’d arrived, really liked me and wanted to meet.
“I didn’t know who Jamie was.
“He came to where we all live and invited me to lunch.
“I couldn’t because I was working.
“But he tracked me down on social media and started messaging me.
“We didn’t get to meet up properly in Ibiza during his holiday and I stayed working in Spain until October.
“But we were messaging every day.
“There was not one day that went by that we did not speak to each other.”
The duo’s first date was a weekend away in the Cotswolds in early December.
Jordan was invited to meet the Strictly gang on their next meet up in February during the show’s tour.
He told her he could not wait to be in his new house together and when he met Jordan’s mum, he called her his mother-in-law.
Despite the public displays of affection, Jordan began to have niggling doubts.
She told a friend: “He seemed a little bit off; busy and hectic.
“He was looking around when we were standing together.
“We continued speaking all the time until mid-March this year.
“But there was a gradual eroding of our closeness.
“He was slipping away and losing interest.”
The decline in his interest coincided with Jordan moving to London to pursue her modelling career.
She told the friend: “I didn’t want him to think I was moving here for him permanently, or to stress him out.
“He kept saying how we’d meet up.
Cold shoulder
“He talked a lot about his house.
“But then when I was in London, he went quiet.
“I got the cold shoulder.
“He’d still text me all the time, but it wasn’t as close or full-on.
“Suddenly, he said he wanted to spend time with me, but couldn’t give me his full commitment.
“He wasn’t looking for a long-term relationship.
“Now I know he was seeing multiple girls and was worried about getting caught out.”
As things cooled, Borthwick’s TV pal Gaffney tracked her to a South London pub where she had a part-time job.
She told her friend: “I’d known Dean from Ibiza.
“He asked what happened with me and Jamie?
“I told him we just don’t speak anymore.”
Gaffney asked if she would keep messaging Borthwick and insisted his mate liked her but had a “commitment phobia”.
Jordan told her pal she was “mortified as Dean said Jamie had sent him my messages and asked for advice”.
She added: “It’s pathetic asking for Dean Gaffney’s advice.”
The friend shared a snap of Borthwick with Jordan and told us: “Every woman deserves to know what kind of a snake he really is.”
The Sun approached Jordan to talk about her relationship with Jamie.
She refused to comment.
