💨 Abstract

EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, known for playing Jay Brown, has been fired by the BBC due to his use of a disabled slur on Strictly Come Dancing. Borthwick, who had been on the show since 2006, was initially suspended last year following the incident. Despite his lengthy tenure, his character had a minor role lately. The comment was deemed "entirely unacceptable" by the BBC, which led to his dismissal.
