Jamie Foreman nearly died from ‘massive’ heart attack

Jamie Foreman had a "massive" heart attack and nearly died a few years ago.
The 61-year-old actor nearly went out the same way as his ‘EastEnders’ character Derek Branning, who passed away from a heart attack in December 2012, and the ‘Layer Cake’ star has admitted the health scare has "put everything in perspective" for him.
He said: "I’ve had a fantastic life and I’m really happy with just the simple things now.
"I had a massive heart attack a couple of years back and nearly pegged it.
"That put everything in perspective.
"All the years and energy I’d spent stressing about work and now I think, ‘I’ve been there, done that.’ I don’t regret anything."
Jamie also admitted he has been "struggling on the work front" of late, but will only go back in front of the camera if "something nice comes in".
Speaking to The Sunday Times newspaper, he added: "In terms of income, I’ve been sort of struggling on the work front.
"I wasn’t terribly well a few years ago and it made me really reappraise things, so I’m in a transitional period. I’m only working if something nice comes in."
In 2018, Jamie called for ‘EastEnders’ to "pull their act together" after the soap was snubbed from the BAFTA TV Awards.
The star – who portrayed Derek from 2011 to 2012 – exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "’EastEnders’ didn’t get the recognition this year in the awards system that they’re used to, that might be telling them something. Maybe they need to pull their act together a little bit.
"There’s a lot of ironies about ‘EastEnders’. If you’re living in Albert Square you’re living in about a £3 million house.
"So you’ve got to bring reality to it and a little bit of humour.
"Humour is everything – ‘Coronation Street’ does it in bucket-fulls. That makes it watchable.
"You don’t want everyone to be miserable and skint. It gets wearing."
Jamie was disappointed to be killed off from the soap, because he had hoped to make regular returns as an "impact character".
He added: "I was sad to go from ‘EastEnders’ because I thought the character could’ve had a bit more about him.
"I thought he could’ve been brought back as an impact character, so that would’ve been nice to do."
