EASTENDERS star Luisa Bradshaw-White beamed as she arrived for a VERY different job after being killed off on the soap.
The actress – who played Tina Carter in the BBC One programme – has swapped acting to she set up her own dance company in the village of Chorleywood in Hertfordshire.
Luisa’s character was brutally killed off by serial killer Gray Atkins after she discovered that he had murdered his wife Chantelle.
Wearing a pair of purple patterned Pilates trousers, Luisa, 46, flashed a big smile as she arrived at her new business venture.
She looked chic in a pair of UGG boots, a camo style shirt and a classic black vest top.
Opting for a scraped back hairdo and no makeup, Luisa gave a big thumbs up as she strolled along the pavement.
In October, Luisa said that she had turned her back on acting after quitting Walford.
She revealed her new life as a dance teacher and has opened Ecstatic dance classes.
The ‘sober rave’ classes don’t follow specific steps as people move freely to the music, leading to a feeling of ecstasy.
The TV star said she found comfort in the exercise a few years back and loves the feeling of euphoria she gets, without having to drink alcohol and have a hangover the next day.
As well as hosting she will DJ at the classes, where people are offered cacao drinks.
Luisa told HertsLive: “Everybody drinks the cacao (tree that produces cocoa beans) so there’s a little bit of a ceremony and then people just start dancing and I DJ the music to start really, really chilled and then the beat picks up and the cacao really opens your heart.
“The cacao and the music together is such an awesome combination.”
She added: “When I was in Holby City, I couldn’t just be in Holby City, I went off to learn an alternative therapy that fed my soul because acting doesn’t.”
BBC One viewers are convinced that Tina’s body will be uncovered in Walford’s Argee Bhajee restaurant after the recent explosion – serial killer Gray buried her in the abandoned building hoping that no one would find her.
Luisa shot to fame in 1988 as Herte in A Friendship in Vienna, before later landing roles in Grange Hill, The Bill and Birds of a Feather.
She first appeared in Holby City on season four as a midwife on the hospital’s maternity ward called Lisa Fox.
Luisa was a series regular and appeared in the programme from 2001 to 2005.
The star later appeared in BBC medical drama Doctors, before landing her role in EastEnders as Tina Carter.
