Jamie took part in BBC1 show DanceX aged 27 in 2007. Publicity for the programme said he began dancing when he was seven as a way of keeping fit and was a world champion disco dancer.
It said he moved to Liverpool when he was 12 to join the Elliot Clark Performing Arts School and completed another performing arts course in Coventry before joining a boy band called Jump The Lights.
He later toured the world with a dance show called Spirit Of The Dance.
Speaking to the BBC for his DanceX profile, Jamie said about his time living in Liverpool: “It was really difficult leaving home at that age, but I knew that that was what I wanted to do.
“I lived with a family in Liverpool during this period of my life and it was very difficult because the family were very different to my own and the first year was particularly hard for me.”
According to his LinkedIn profile, Jamie owned The Wellness Foundry in London with his husband, the Liverpool Echo reported.
In a video posted to The Wellness Foundry Instagram page, the couple shared a clip as they waited to board the Air India flight. Fiongal said: “We are in the airport, just boarding. Goodbye India.”
Jamie said: “Goodbye India, ten hour flight back to England.”
As they joked in the video, Fiongel said: “We’re going back happily, happily, happily calm.”
Only one passenger reportedly survived the crash.
The Hindustan Times reported that 40-year-old British man Vishwash Kumar Ramesh was the survivor. He told the newspaper: “Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly.”
