Strictly Come Dancing star Jamie Borthwick discovered that he’s related to his co-star Charlie Winter, but had no idea about the connection until Charlie joined the soap.
While she may no longer be on the soap, Jacqueline’s younger cousin Megan also had a stint in Walford when she joined as Grant Mitchell's daughter Courtney from March to June 2006.
However, it's not much easier keeping track of who's related off-screen either, with many viewers clueless that certain soap stars are family in real life.
Speaking about his discovery, he said: "My great uncle is called Charlie Winter, so when they said there was a kid coming in called Charlie Winter, I was like, 'Seriously?'.
Jamie has played Jay Brown on EastEnders since 2006, while Charlie, 28, joined in 2018 as Mel Owen's son Hunter, but was bumped off a year later.
