Former EastEnders star Shona McGarty is engaged to musician David Bracken after a romantic proposal in London's Holland Park, narrowly avoiding a police interruption. The proposal took place at the Kyoto Garden, a meaningful spot for Shona, who loves Japanese culture. Shona, who left EastEnders after 16 years to focus on personal and professional growth, met David through TikTok, where he admired her singing without knowing her TV fame. The couple plans to have a Christmas wedding in Ireland, honoring their Irish roots. Shona's former EastEnders castmates are expected to be on the guest list. Shona expresses excitement about her future, enjoying newfound freedom and time for loved ones and her music career.
