Shona McGarty was seen without wearing her engagement ring while going to Australia for the movie I’m A Celebrity, following rumors that she broke up with her fiancé David Bracken.
The 34-year-old EastEnders star, who played Whitney Dean in the soap from 2008 to 2024, joins the likes of Kelly Brook, Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp in the jungle this year.
He has officially set off for Australia after he was spotted checking in at Heathrow Airport on Saturday.
For her airport outfit, Shona wore a black one-piece under her bright pink shirt and wore a new set of nails with cheeky insect designs as she prepared to face the creepy crawlies Down Under.
Dressing up for the chilly London evening, Shona also wore a large, dark purple fur coat and completed her look with sneakers and crew socks, as well as a black hat.
But Shona’s engagement ring was noticeably missing from her finger following rumors of her split from David last month, just a year after the Irish musician popped the question in London’s Holland Park.

‘This is a new beginning and this time I’m stepping into life with open arms and an open heart. For too long I second-guessed myself, dimmed my light, tried to fit into places that were never meant for me.
‘But now it’s about freedom, being comfortable in my own skin, owning my story, singing LOUD with all my flaws and fire. This is the beginning of truly living fully and authentically.

This comes after Kelly Brook was spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport on Saturday as she prepared to fly to Australia for her appearance on I’m A Celeb.
Despite the upcoming Bushtucker Trials, the 45-year-old model appeared to be in great spirits and flashed a huge smile as she became the first star to head downstairs.
Kelly cut a casual figure for the long trip in a brown tracksuit, which she paired with a pair of £1,000 Chanel sandals and a matching £6,000 bag.
Hiding her eyes behind stylish shades, the stunner was helped to carry her luggage, which was piled high on top of a car.
In 2018, Kelly said there would be ‘a million’ other things he’d rather be doing at his local bar than appearing in the jungle.
“I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and whatever else they’re supposed to eat in there,” he said on the Heart radio show. ‘Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really quickly, I still wouldn’t do it.’
