This year, Shona McGarty, who is known for her role as Whitney Dean on EastEnders, bid farewell to the beloved soap. Since then, the 32-year-old actress has been making headlines with her stunning transformation. Recently, she revealed the final part of her hair makeover, and fans couldn't stop raving about her new reddish pink bob. In fact, one fan, @kellyevamarie, commented, "Absolutely beautiful. This is truly a new chapter for you, and we can't wait to see what's in store." Another fan, @emmaevans1984, added, "Love it, hun! It really suits you. It's always nice to have a change. You're looking fab, xxx."
Shona's departure from the show saw her character, Whitney, leave Albert Square on a bus with her adoptive daughter, Britney Wainwright, and newborn baby, Dolly. They were headed up North to start a new life with her brother. The decision to leave was triggered by her fiancé, Zack Hudson's, one-night stand with her best friend, Lauren Branning, which was revealed on their wedding day. To make matters worse, Whitney also found out that her mother figure, Bianca Jackson, had known about the affair but chose not to tell her. This caused Whitney to cut her out of her life completely.
After playing Whitney Dean for sixteen years, Shona, who is now 32, decided to move on from the show. She is currently starring in the Dublin run of a hit play, alongside TV presenter Laura Whitmore and The Wanted's Jay McGuiness, until 11th August. The play, which has a supernatural theme, follows four friends who have a dinner party in a haunted house. Over the years, it has seen a number of cast changes, with various pop, TV, and soap stars making appearances. Some notable names include EastEnders actors Jake Wood, Louisa Lytton, Joe Absolom, and Ricky Champ, who have all been a part of the production during its West End stints and UK tour.
