Shona McGarty's Anxiety Battle Revealed

I'm A Celebrity contestant Shona McGarty has revealed the significant impact of lifelong anxiety on her career and personal life. The former EastEnders actress shared that her anxiety had consistently prevented her from pursuing various opportunities. She described the overwhelming experience of live interviews, where she would enter a 'trauma mode' and feel unable to hear or respond.

McGarty recounted moments of intense physical reactions, such as sweating palms and a racing heart, during these situations, leading her to question her well-being. She found relief and management strategies after consulting her GP and discussing her worries, noting a substantial improvement in her condition.

Now better equipped to handle her anxiety, McGarty is actively seeking new experiences and challenges. She recently left EastEnders to explore diverse career avenues, including music, and has impressed viewers with her singing on I'm A Celebrity, demonstrating a newfound willingness to step outside her comfort zone.
