EASTENDERS star Jamie Borthwick has revealed his crippling phobia of vomiting which left him too frightened to leave home. The actor opened up about the horrific fear and "anxiety" about emetophobia, which saw him feeling constantly "unsafe".
Speaking on the Lads, Dads and a Couple of Beers podcast, Jamie, 27, revealed he was "coping" with his phobia "as best as he could". "I've never really spoken about it, but I've got a real phobia about being sick, called emetophobia," he detailed. "I really suffer quite bad with that, and it affected me in so many ways.
I didn't want to go out, I didn't want to shake people's hands. It became a thing about germs and I got quite OCD about things like that. "I didn't want to be in busy environments where there were a lot of people.
