The pair often appear on each other’s social media and have been spotted hanging out together away from the show.

Jazzy, who played Jay’s love interest Nadine Keller before her exit in May, shared a sweet black and white photo of her and Jamie, 30, on Monday.

The duo posed for a selfie, with the blonde actress captioning it: “The weekly gossip = complete.”

The stars then filmed a carpool karaoke as they sang a version of Nobody Knows Me Like You Do, from Disney film High School Musical, before finishing with a rendition of Start of Something New.

Jamie, 30, and Jazzy, 23, previously sparked rumours they were dating back in December.

Jazzy shared a photo of her resting her head on Jamie’s shoulder.

The picture has got fans talking, with some convinced that this is more than just an on-screen romance.

One wrote: “They would make a great couple,” while another posted: “Are they an item?”

Over in Albert Square, things have been far from smooth sailing for the car salesman.

Jay has been struggling for the past few months since Lola tragically died from a brain tumour.

Last year he met Lola lookalike Nadine but it emerged that she was a sex worker, for hire.

In April, Nadine returned to Albert Square and revealed she was pregnant with Jay’s baby.

But she was caught out by Billy Mitchell’s dad Steven, who exposed her fake baby bump.

She came clean to Jay and said she needed the money because she was being blackmailed.

In real life, Jazzy has also been linked to EastEnders co-star Bobby Brazier, who plays Freddie Slater on the soap.

The pair have been on several meet-ups in central London and kind-hearted Bobby gave her a beautiful bunch of flowers.

They shared an Instagram snap at The Delaunay restaurant in London last month and flirty Bobby commented: “Stop it. Too much for me”, along with a love heart emoji.

While Jamie will also be stepping away from the square and waltzing onto the Strictly dancefloor next month after it was confirmed he’d signed up for the BBC competition.
