His first appearance on mainstream television was as an orphan in the Celebrate Oliver! musical alongside Shane Richie and Joseph McManners. In late 2006 Borthwick had a one-off role in Not Going Out . He has also appeared in the "Life In The Underpass" episode of Gina's Laughing Gear . Borthwick won the award for Best Dramatic Performance From a Young Actor or Actress at the 2008 British Soap Awards and dedicated it to his late grandmother, who died one day prior to his win.

Personal life

Borthwick carried Kevin Mitchell's championship belt into the ring prior to a bout in July 2007. [5] He attended Sylvia Young Theatre School until he was 16. [6] He is a second cousin to former EastEnders co-star Charlie Winter, who played Hunter Owen.

In May 2021, Borthwick was caught speeding in his car at 52 mph on a 30 mph road in Romford, and he was subsequently given a driving ban. His lawyer appealed the ban and his ban was removed, with the lawyer stating that Borthwick is recognised whilst using public transport, and "not all of these encounters are favourable". [9]

In December 2023 Borthwick dismissed speculation that he was dating former co-star Danielle Harold who notably played his on-screen wife Lola Pearce-Brown. [10]
