“But not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and look back on our great time together. I miss you every day and I love you with everything I have.
“I hope with all my heart that you do this and that one day we will be reunited again.” I hope that you have a wonderful birthday son and have a great time whatever you do and just know that I think of you “I'm going to think and that your family misses you.”
He added: “A big thank you to all the dads out there who are struggling because they can't see their kids. 'I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!'
His co-star Gary Lucy shared his support with a heartfelt comment under Jamie's post.
Gary wrote: “I have to write this part 2 for you Jamie… I know how much this hurts you.” I pray that this heartbreaking situation somehow gets better for both of you sooner rather than later.
“I feel your pain, brother, and for whatever it's worth… I love you and appreciate you more than you'll ever know…”
“Everything you did for me, my brother, the checking in/those little texts/listening/arguments/advice and most of all, giving me strength when I faltered, I will never forget. Be strong, I love you.
Kym, who is currently married to her third husband Scott Ratcliff, also has children David, 26, and Emilie, 24, with her ex-partner Jack Cunliffe.
