Join Emily and Ray back with Shona McGarty and her lovely chihuahua Cici on the second part of our chilly North London stroll!

Shona tells us all about navigating her first EastEnders storyline - which involved her character Whitney being a victim of grooming. We also found out how Shona spent her EastEnders money as a 16-year-old, what led her to make the decision to leave the show - and what the future might hold for her.

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.

We’re back in Thorndon Country Park with the brilliant Ferne McCann and her lovely cockapoo Clemmie!

Ferne tells us all about how going into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity changed everything for her, why she always says yes and she gives us an update on her very exciting new project…

We also chat about Ferne’s brilliant reality show - My Family and Me - how it bought her out of a challenging period in her life and then why she made the very difficult decision to bring the show to an end.

Ferne is currently starring in the 2025 series of Dancing On Ice - you can watch Dancing On Ice on Sundays on ITV1 and ITVX!
