EastEnders' Shona McGarty Breaks Silence on New Role Following Soap Exit

Shona McGarty, known for playing Whitney Dean, bid farewell to EastEnders in May last year after 16 years on the soap.
Her departure followed a long tenure starting in 2008, and she recently made her West End debut as Bettie Page in Queen of the Pin-Ups musical.
