OPENING UP

The Nottingham-based screen star has kept fans in the loop with her journey and recently confided she was “stripping it all back so I can heal.”

Shona added: “The no make-up thing as I’ve got older hasn’t been a big thing for me because I’m not actually that good at make up to make myself look that different but no fake tan???

“I find that the hardest. It’s how I felt at first when I dissolved my over done filler last year & got rid of my hair extensions.

“Sooo naked. But you’re not naked, you’re just you. It’s about loving yourself through all stages.

“I haven’t even plucked my eyebrows or waxed my upper lip & it’s not about letting myself go, it’s about letting myself be.

“It’s all part of the healing. Unfiltered, unedited, unafraid with my lil greys, eczema & acne spots. We just keep on riding the wave.”

Her body confident approach comes after this summer when her eye puffed up after an allergic reaction.
