Shona McGarty (Part One)

Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

This week, Emily and Ray are in North London with the fabulous actress and singer Shona McGarty, and her adorable chihuahua Cici!

Shona is well known for having played Whitney Dean in EastEnders - first landing the role when she was just 16 years old. She tells us all about growing up in Borehamwood, a stone’s throw from where EastEnders is filmed - and what led her to joining one of the UK’s most popular soaps. She also tells us about the advice she received from Barbara Windsor that she’ll never forget, her drum-and-bass dancing granny and her hatred of plastic shoes.
