Away from the show, Shona is reportedly dating co-star Max Bowden, who plays Ben Mitchell.
The pair have been spotted together away from filming and Shona also shared snaps of them together on her Instagram page.
As she turns turns another year, Daily Star have taken a look back at some of Shona's hottest snaps.
Crop top queen
Shona looked almost unrecognisable as she partied with pals at Notting Hill Carnival in August this year.
The TV star was among thousands of revellers at the lively event following a two-year hiatus forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
Attending day three of the annual event, she took to the streets in a colourful outfit consisting of a sequin bra and orange trousers.
Shona completed the look with heart-shaped sunglasses, a bum bag and pink hair scrunchies.
Natural beauty
The EastEnders actress laid herself bare as she shared a natural selfie with fans.
Shona could be seen with dark, curly hair in a throwback picture posted to her Instagram feed in April 2020 and it looked dramatically different to her current beauty look.
Seeming to hint that she had just got a perm at the time, she captioned the beaming selfie, “So this just happened” with a laughing emoji.
Bikini bombshell
The BBC star enjoyed a getaway with her pals to Ibiza last month.
Shona took to her Instagram account to show off a slew of snaps and footage with her pals while showing off her impressive twerking skills.
Wowing in a floral bikini, the soap star seemed to be having the time of her life.
Posing with several of her friends, the swimwear-clad star looked in great spirits as she worked her magic in front of the camera in her hotel hallway.
Britney transformation
Talented Shona wowed fans as she transformed into Britney Spears as part of an EastEnders storyline.
The starlet channeled her inner pop star by dressing up as the singing icon, replicating her look from the Toxic video back in 2003.
She ditched her red locks for a blonde wig and copied Britney's flight attendant outfit.
"Whitney spears…." Shona captioned one of the posts to her thousands of Instagram followers, which saw her saluting for the camera and giving a close-up of her blue make-up which matched her outfit.
Sun-kissed stunner
Shona often keeps fans up to date with her life away from Albert Square on social media.
In one Instagram snap, the brunette beauty shared a selfie as she enjoyed sunbathing.
She tied her signature locks up out of her face and covered her eyes with a pair of pink sunglasses.
The TV personality donned skimpy top as she tried to catch a tan
Plunging gown
Shona dressed to impress as she attended the Paul Shank Charitable Trust Summer event at Restaurant Ours in South Kensington, London in July this year.
Smiling for the cameras, she looked pretty in pink in the gorgeous satin dress, complete with plunging neckline and wrap detail, which flaunted her killer curves and toned pins.
Paired with a dazzling silver clutch bag, drop earrings and matching high heels, Shona's sizzling look was finished with smoky eye makeup and a pop of pink lipstick for a radiant finish to the look.
Red carpet glamour
The Whitney Dean star looked worlds away from her character as she sported a glimmering gown for the British Soap Awards earlier this year.
Shona's gown, which featured a sweetheart neckline and a sprawling train, consisted of a sparkling dot design, with a mesh overlay on the layered puff skirt.
Falling to the floor, the extravagant number covered her shoes, as she kept accessories to a minimum with just a gold bracelet and a select few rings.
The actress had her brunette locks tucked away in a tousled up-do, as a section of hair fell beside her jaw.
Shona added a statement hair accessory to one side of her locks, with a large pearl drop design.
Opting for a pink-toned makeup look, she donned a soft pink eyeshadow and complementing lip.
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One at 7.30pm
