EASTENDERS actress Shona McGarty has been forced to pull out of her panto gig hours before taking to the stage after falling ill.<\/p>\n
The star, who plays Whitney Dean in the BBC soap, was forced to miss last night's performance in Beauty and the Beast at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford and will likely miss today's [December 16] too.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Gutted' Shona took to instagram to let her fans know yesterday evening, revealing she has been battling a bug.<\/p>\n
"Guys…I've been feeling rough recently, as you know, and unfortunately have come down with the worst cold n flu symptoms and a really sore throat!" she wrote on her instagram stories.<\/p>\n
"I did today's show, and got through it, but it was tough. It's such horrid timing to be ill. Typical! During a panto run! Gutted!"<\/p>\n
She then apologised to anyone she was disappointing by not being able to perform.<\/p>\n
