Jamie has an incredibly supportive fanbase and they rallied to her support earlier this month when she spoke openly about her sobriety.

"Being sober is going to be a legacy, for sure, because you are stopping what has been a generational issue in my biological family," she said, with Colin quickly raising his hand as he identified with her point, himself also being sober for over ten years.

She admitted: "For me, sobriety is the greatest… it will be the single greatest thing I do if I stay sober," getting choked up as she said so.
