In February 2022 The Sun Online revealed that soap star, who plays Jay Brown in the BBC show, had upset his bosses by picking up a six-month driving ban.

Jamie, who was fined £660, and a further £166 in court, was banned from driving for six months in December 2021.

Then in March 2022 his driving ban slashed after saying he is too FAMOUS to catch the bus.

Yesterday he shared his excitement over radio stations playing Christmas songs in September.

Videoing himself from his E-class Mercedes with Band Aid's tune Do They Know It's Christmas playing in the background, he said: "Yes people... It's here.....!!!!!!!!"

But Jamie hasn't always been able to enjoy the comfort of his own car.

The star has only been driving his car again over the past six months.

Jamie had been spending a fortune on private vehicles to get to the EastEnders set.

The Jay Brown actor lives in East London, and has to make his way to the soap set, which is filmed in Borehamwood, Herts.

His solicitor argued that he would be "recognised" on public transport.

They also stated that "not all of those encounters have been favourable".

Jamie has starred in EastEnders since 2006.
