In 2019, he also ran the 26.2 mile course in honour of EastEnders legend, Dame Barbara Windsor.
Together with co-stars including Natalie Cassidy, Jake Wood and Emma Barton, Jamie formed part of a team called Barbara's Revolutionaries.
The gang, lead by Barbara's husband Scott Mitchell, raised more than £160,000 for the Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK.
Once he had crossed the finish line, Jamie told fans how Emma - who plays Honey Mitchell in EastEnders - had been his "rock" throughout.

"The crowds are unbelievable so thank you to everyone who came, cheered and supported! And congratulations to every single person who ran the marathon this year! Particularly #Barbara'srevolutuonaries #londonmarathon (sic)."
Sadly, Barbara passed away following her dementia battle 18 months later, aged 83.
