Ex-EastEnders actress Shana Swash looks worlds away from her character Demi Miller 16 years after her she was last seen on Albert Square.
The now-32-year-old first appeared on the BBC soap as feisty teenager Demi in 2004, joining the rest of the Miller’s in starting a new life in Walford.
Demi became talk of the square on arrival due to being 13 and pregnant and the troublesome teen went on to play a central role in plenty of dramatic storylines.

This included running away from home with her boyfriend Leo Taylor (Phillip Dowling) and their infant daughter Aleesha, which soon led to a life of drugs.
As they struggled to survive, Leo returned to their squat and discovered Demi unconscious on the floor.
Believing she had killed herself, Leo took a heroin overdose because he couldn’t face life without her, leaving Demi devastated when she discovered he had died in hospital.
In 2006, Demi decided she wanted to bring her daughter up away from Walford and left for the Cotswolds with her mum, Rosie Miller (Gerry Cowper).
But 16 years on, Shana looks completely different as shown through the loved-up snaps taken with her partner, Nick Jones.
In 2021, Shana announced Nick had popped the question and showcased her stunning ring as the pair enjoyed time away on holiday.
While the real-life sister of Joe Swash hasn’t ditched her acting career, she did launch an exciting new venture with her partner, opening a coffee vendor together last year.
At the time, the I’m A Celeb star gave his Instagram followers a guided tour of the snazzy new coffee stall which is called Swash & Jones.
He then shared a sweet snap as he beamed in front of Shana’s coffee stall, writing: “Super proud of my little sister and her partner.”
Shana has continued acting since waving goodbye to Albert Square, appearing in 2016 film My Feral Heart, BBC drama series Doctors and most recently, the feature film Love Without Walls.
