EastEnders star Shona McGarty has insisted that she has no problems with the controversial storylines on the show.
The actress, 19, plays Whitney Dean in the BBC One soap, who was recently involved in a sex exploitation plot.
Speaking to the News of the World, she said: "I'm never scared when EastEnders gives me a controversial storyline. Two years ago I sat at home dreaming of this opportunity, so I still feel just so lucky to be on the show.
"It's one thing after another for Whitney but filming doesn't leave me drained.
"When I leave the set I'm Shona and I leave Whitney's problems behind."
It has since been confirmed that Whitney's evil pimp Rob Grayson - played by Jody Latham - is returning to Albert Square.
