It comes after Jamie revealed he will not be banned from drinking and having sex during his stint on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The soap star is taking part in the 20th series of the BBC show and has admitted there is no need to give up alcohol and sex and stick to a healthy regime.

‘No drinking ban for me. I’ve never drank in my life and no one loves me, so I can’t ban sex! No bans for me, just lots of food,” he told MailOnline ahead of this weekend’s launch show.

MailOnline has contacted Jamie’s representatives for comment.

Last week Jamie broke his silence on the Strictly Come Dancing curse after his chemistry with professional partner Michelle sparked speculation.

For years, the BBC show has spawned plenty of off-screen romance between celebrities and their professional partners, with some even leaving their spouses to pursue these relationships – earning the name ‘Strictly curse’.

But the EastEnders actor laughed off the rumors and admitted the pair are ‘more like siblings’.

Speaking to The Sun, Jamie said: ‘Honestly it’s hilarious that people think we’re going jiggy!’

‘I really don’t know where that comes from, but I think everyone is a little anticipating the Strictly curse.’

Meanwhile, Michelle is dating her boyfriend Simone Arena, a Dancing With The Stars champion

The actor continued: ‘There’s absolutely no need to worry about Michelle – she’s like a sister, mother and aunt all in one. I am being mothered! We have sibling chemistry.”

Shortly before appearing on the show, Jamie sparked romance rumors with his EastEnders co-star Jazzy Phoenix.

Meanwhile, Michelle is dating her boyfriend Simone Arena, a Dancing With The Stars champion.
