Jamie is determined to win Glitterball this year Speaking to RadioTimescom, he said, « So the diplomatic response is, ‘Oh yeah, I don’t mind’ but I really want to win! » he admitted, « I think while it’s a wonderful show to be a part of and you can dance everyday and learn a new talent, I’m very competitive and I’m sure a lot of other contenders are too, and you want to earn it! «
He will have to work very hard in the second week, as he is currently at the bottom of the table with 14 points
The other contestants fared much better than him, with YouTube star HRVY leading the table with 25 points and EastEnders actress Maisie Smith just behind him with 24 points

« Here we are again, I hope this time I can last long enough for my mom to see me dance, » he said at the time
« The reason I’m doing this is to make my mom proud, but all I did last year was make her even more disappointed Let’s change that this year, we can’t not wait !! «
