Shona McGarty has already filmed her final scenes as Whitney Dean on EastEnders and now her next role has been revealed after she announced she was leaving the BBC soap
Shona McGarty, who's been a familiar face on BBC's EastEnders as Whitney Dean since 2008, is all set for a thrilling new gig after her soap departure. The star has wrapped up filming her final scenes and is now ready to take on a fresh challenge.
While fans are still in the dark about how Whitney's storyline will wrap up on the Square, tension is brewing with Zack over the arrival of Britney amidst their own baby news, not to mention his growing bond with Lauren. She reflected on her time on the show, saying, "It was a really difficult decision, because it's all I've ever known. I pretty much grew up on the Square, so I feel like I'm leaving home. But I had to put on my big girl pants and be quite brave, because life is so short, and you feel that more and more as you get older. There are other opportunities and areas of the industry I want to explore before I get too old! All things come to an end and this is the new chapter of my life.
