Shona has broken her silence after leaving her role as Whitney in BBC soap EastEnders.
The actress has been on the show for 15 years and joined in 2008 at the age of 16, but decided to leave the series after there was reportedly a casting call.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, she said: “It wasn’t an easy decision because I’ve made so many friends.”
“I’ve seen people come and go, and now Whitney is one of the most enduring characters.
“I’ve had so much fun and done so many storylines, some of which have been delicate, and it’s an honor to be entrusted with such difficult things year after year.”
Shona continued: “It will make me sad to say goodbye to my friends and family but it was the right decision for me as I want to do other things.”
“After fifteen years I’ve had a pretty good run.”
As the adopted daughter of the infamous Bianca Jackson (played by Patsy Palmer), Whitney was part of several harsh storylines.
Hello? And as if her outfit wasn’t eye-catching enough, the character was also spotted holding a banana while stepping out.

In 2008, Whitney was groomed and abused by her mother’s co-star and in 2020, in celebration of the soap’s 35th anniversary, she killed the stunned Leo King.
Earlier this year, Whitney faced the heartbreaking decision to give birth to her baby Peach after being diagnosed with end-stage Edward syndrome.
In the touching scenes, Whitney and Peach’s father, Zack Hudson, shared a heartbreaking goodbye.
