I’m A Celebrity: Shona McGarty singing
Shona began singing during a quiet moment in camp with Martin Kemp and Kelly Brook. The pair were all smiles and began bopping along as she belted out Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner.
Spandau Ballet singer Martin couldn’t then help but join in with Shona’s rendition of the powerhouse classic. Kelly then added a “rollin’!” while shaking her hips to the song.
Shona’s proud family captured the clip on their phones and have since shared it to Instagram. In the background, a female can be heard whooping.
They captioned the clip: “So glad you’ve all heard Shona’s insanely talented voice… Who knew an angel was hiding in plain sight? Rolling on a River never sounded so good.”
Shona’s army of followers were quick to respond. One replied: “She has an amazing voice!” Another added: “Just brilliant… Effortlessly fabulous. Go on girl xxx.”
A third wrote: “A very talented lady!” And someone else chimed in: “Her singing should have been shown in the main ep, her voice is AMAZING.”

Has Shona released any songs?
Shona is best known for playing Whitney Dean in BBC One soap EastEnders. However, she has been focusing on her singing career since leaving in 2024 after 16 years.
Fans had actually been given a glimpse of what she is capable of in 2018 when she recorded a charity Christmas single. Shona and 26 other celebrities recorded the original track called Rock With Rudolph for Great Ormond Street.
Three years later, Shona recorded a cover of The Beatles’ Let It Be for the mental health charity, Mind. In October this year, she recorded her own single, a ballad called Unapologetically Me.
Shona told Music Talkers: “I wrote Unapologetically Me as a reminder to myself, and to anyone who has ever felt pressure to be someone they are not, that it is okay to simply be who you are.
“Having spent years in the public eye, surrounded by glitz, glam, and expectation, I often felt the need to play a character. But beneath all that, I am just human, silly, sensitive, strong, and imperfect, and that is okay.”
Shona’s love of music is actually clear during her appearance in I’m A Celebrity. Viewers will likely catch a glimpse of a treble clef tattoo on her wrist.
Shona’s first Bushtucker Trial
Shona will tonight take on her first Bushtucker Trial. The public voted for Alex Scott and Jack Osbourne to take on Dreaded Dunnies together, before newbies Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson chose Shona and Martin to join them.
The foursome will be locked in individual toilet cubicles and have to fish the keys out from a slime-filled toilet bowl. And in our first look pictures of Dreaded Dunnies, Shona definitely appears to be struggling!
Luckily, Jack is on hand to guide her through his technique for unlocking the rusty locks. You can catch all the action when I’m A Celebrity continues on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm tonight.
