He signed off the post: “A big shout out to all the dads out there that are struggling because they don’t get to see their kids. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!”
His former co-star Gary Lucy, who portrayed Luke Morgan on the Channel 4 soap, threw his support behind Jamie with a heartfelt comment. After wishing Billy a happy birthday, he wrote: “I have to write this part 2 for you Jamie… I know how much this hurts you. I pray that in some way this heart wrenching situation improves for you both sooner rather than later.

“I feel your pain brother and for what it’s worth… I Love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know… All you’ve done for me my brother checking in / those little texts / listening / reasoning / advising and more than anything giving me strength when I’ve faltered I’ll never forget. Be strong love you.”
Jamie welcomed Billy in 2006 with a former girlfriend. He went on to marry Coronation Street star Kym Marsh in 2012. In 2009, the couple welcomed a baby boy named Archie, who died shortly after his premature birth at 18 weeks. Jamie also shares 12-year-old daughter Polly with his soap star ex.
