Former EastEnders star Shona McGarty showed off her dramatic transformation after leaving the

beloved soap.

The Whitney Dean star, 32, showed off the final part of her hair transformation and fans are obsessed

with her new reddish pink bob.

And fans quickly gushed about the look in the comments with @kellyevamarie replying: ‘Absolutely beautiful. Truly a new chapter for you and bring it on.’

@emmaevans1984 added: ‘Love it hun…really suits u…its always nice to have a change…looking fab xxx.’

Shona’s ‘Enders exit saw Whitney leave Albert Square on a bus with her adoptive daughter Britney Wainwright (Lola Campbell) and newborn baby Dolly, to start a new life up North with her brother.

Her decision to leave was sparked following fiancé Zack Hudson’s (James Farrar) one night stand with her best friend Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), which was exposed on their wedding day.

To make matters worse, when Whitney found out that mother figure Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) had known but didn’t tell her, Whitney chose to cut her out of her life altogether.

Shona, 32, played Whitney Dean in the serial for sixteen years, but following her exit is currently starring in the Dublin run of the hit play alongside TV presenter Laura Whitmore and The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness until 11th August.

The supernatural production, which follows four friends having a dinner party in a haunted house, has regular cast changes – with a number of pop, TV and soap stars appearing over the years.

EastEnders actors Jake Wood, Louisa Lytton, Joe Absolom and Ricky Champ have all appeared in the production during various West End stints and a UK tour.
