Former EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick appeared downcast in a Christmas selfie shared with his Instagram followers this week, just months after he was axed from the BBC soap.
From being accused of cheating by his ex partners to a shocking sex toy scandal with his Strictly co-star Wynne Evanns, here we look at what led to the actor's downfall.
The actor, 31, who has played Jay Brown for 19 years, was suspended by the broadcaster in June after being caught backstage at Strictly using a slur aimed at disabled people.
The EastEnders and Strictly favourite, 30, was in a relationship with Chloe Strand from March last year, but she recently learnt he was also seeing another woman from around August.
The Go Compare frontman was caught on video in January warning dancer Janette Manrara not to stand 'too close' to co-star Jamie Borthwick or they would perform the three-way sex act on her.
Wynne Evans is reportedly 'bracing himself for the sack as BBC plans to fire the controversial Strictly star' after a string of complaints about his behaviour.
The EastEnders actor, 30, has seemingly found himself the latest victim of the BBC show's infamous curse after splitting from Chloe after secretly dating for a year.
The opera singer, 53, and EastEnders star, 30, who took part in last year's line up of the show, were reportedly blasted by BBC bosses over a sex toy video.
