EastEnders’ Shona McGarty looks worlds away from Albert Square in skintight leather trousers after split from co-star
EASTENDERS' Shona McGarty looks unrecognisable from her soap character in a pair of figure hugging leather trousers following her split from her co-star Max Bowden.
The soap actress reportedly split up with her co-star just six months after their whirlwind romance began.
Shona, 31, looked worlds away from her character of Whitney Dean in the popular BBC soap in a throwback snap posted by Emma Barton - who plays Honey Mitchell.
The actress looked unrecognisable and wowed in a pair of skin-tight black leather trousers with a knitted black jumper that had a skull on the front.
Shona looked stunning, with a bold-plum lip and smoky eyeshadow - and her locks were styled in loose waves.
The pair both looked happy as they smiled at the camera while standing in front of a red cut-out telephone box in the throwback snap.

It comes after Shona called time on her short romance with her EastEnders co-star Max Bowden.
She broke things off shortly after he became a dad for the first time with his ex-girlfriend.
A source said: “There has been a lot going on in Max’s life and things were just getting too complicated with Shona being involved.
“Max will always have a lot of love and respect for Shona but it’s just not the right time.

“Everyone is trying to make things as least awkward as possible on set – luckily they don’t have many scenes together.”
A friend close to the couple added: "Max and Shona have never spoken on it publicly but as their close circle would know, they were never in an official relationship.
"They remain close friends who decided not to pursue anything romantic a number of months ago."
