EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has opened up about his battle with health anxiety and how therapy has been a significant aid for him. As the London Marathon approaches, the actor, known for his role as Jay on the hit BBC One series, is preparing to run for a cause that deeply affects his family.
"Thankfully, with dad and uncle Charlie it was caught very early. We managed to get removed and thankfully it was all fine. My cousin is having treatment, but it's all looking like it's going to be fine," the soap star shared, expressing gratitude for his family members' recoveries. Prostate Cancer UK has revealed that one in eight men will be diagnosed with the disease. The condition is more prevalent in individuals over 50, Black men, and those with a close family history.
"I took him to hospital the next day with my mum. The surgery went well, the doctors were fantastic, and thankfully he's been through his checks and it's all clear, we're all good." "I had a really bad phobia about being sick, emetophobia it's called, it actually started with that," he shares. "Then as I got older, that developed into more health things." He continued: I've just had to manage it, really. I had therapy for the phobia, it was that bad, and ever since then the coping mechanisms and tools I gathered in the therapy sessions have really helped me.
