- Shana Swash was born in 1990 in Islington, London as the youngest child of her family. As a child, she originally wanted to become a dancer and was enrolled into dance classes from an early age. By 2002 at the age of 12, she became a model shortly after starting secondary school. After her older brother Joe Swash, who was originally training to be a fireman, landed the role of Mickey Miller in 'EastEnders' in 2003 when she was 13, Shana decided that she also wanted to become an actress and stopped going to dancing after 10 years, but continued to be a model. When the auditions finally came for a teenage part in 'EastEnders', Shana landed the role of Mickey Miller's little sister Demi Miller and arrived in the soap opera on 6th September 2004 at the age of 14. Since then, she has performed challenging roles with Demi being a teenage mum and then losing her boyfriend Leo to a drug overdose. She is still in the cast of 'EastEnders' and constantly fights with her older brother Joe and is a big fan of Jessie Wallace, who plays Kat Moon in 'EastEnders'.
