Show under fire for treatment of EastEnders star
Earlier this week, however, the show came under fire for its treatment of EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick.
The actor was on the show to discuss his character’s storyline on the soap.
However, his interview only took place in the final 10 minutes of the programme. Viewers weren’t happy.
“10 minutes left and Jamie’s still not on and their interviewing someone else now do they have problem with ee actors or something watch how he gets less time than Danielle and that was 2 minutes,” one viewer wrote.
“So Jay is gonna get as much airtime as Lola did..another waste of time,” another said.
“He was the advertised guest and barely got a chance to speak!” a third tweeted.
