The soap star - who plays Whitney Dean in*EastEnders*- has revealed she is more up for doing the series now.

Speaking to this week's New! magazine, Shona said: "I want to do a skydive and I'd like to do*Strictly. I was asked to do it, but nerves got the better of me.

"As I've grown up, I've realised that the anxiety that I suffer from, which stops me from doing things, is all in my head.

"I'm doing more things now that I used to be afraid of, such as live interviews. I know I am on a huge soap, but if I make a mistake, I can do it again.
