Shana Swash first appeared on our screens as Demi Miller in EastEnders, alongside real life brother Joe Swash.
The actress was involved in a hugely controversial storyline that saw Demi give birth at just 13 years old.
The character drew the attention of Albert Square locals when she arrived with her family in 2004, due to her pregnancy.
Life for Shana has changed a great deal since she left Walford. In 2021, she opened her new coffee business Swash and Jones.
She also gave birth to her first child, Kitty Frances Swash Jones, last year.
The star recently opened up about juggling her business while starring in the film Love Without Walls.
‘It’s difficult, but I did Love Without Walls right before I opened Swash and Jones. So, at the moment, things are happening at really nice times where they fall into place with each other’, she explained to Express.co.uk.
‘I work for myself, so I can come and go as I please, and that’s the glory of it. So if something does come up, I can shut up or get somebody in, and I can go and do some work.’
She added: ‘My social life has gone from zero to 100 all of a sudden, it’s so lovely to be able to have the time to go and spend with friends and family. But yeah, that’s what I always say I’m thankful for – working for myself.’

Discussing what it was like opening her business after the Coronavirus pandemic, Shana said: ‘That came out of Covid and lockdown, and not having a job, and needing something. It was a real change-up, because I was doing something that I’ve always wanted to do.
‘So I always say I was kind of thankful for Covid in a weird way for getting me up and out and doing it. I have a lovely trailer and we sell coffee and lovely sandwiches in the park I grew up in, so at the moment I’m loving working for myself, really enjoying it.’

The famous face spent two years on Albert Square as part of the Miller family, but was written out of the show in 2006 when Demi left to live in the Cotswolds with her mum.
Since then, she has continued developing her acting career, appearing in shows such as Doctors and Top Boy. She has also featured in independent films, and earned herself a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the British Independent Film Awards for her role in My Feral Heart.
Shana’s brother Joe is married to TV presenter Stacey Solomon.
