EastEnders’ Precious Looks Nothing Like The Past
More than two decades have gone by since Judi Shekoni stepped into Walford for the first time. When she walked into the VUE West End last night for The Bad Guys 2 screening, no one could look away.
She wore a checked miniskirt with matching boots. Her legs caught the light, and her smile felt effortless. The actor looked sure of herself, far away from the old soap days.
There was no hint of nerves. She didn’t try to impress; she didn’t need to. That old weight that once held her back was not there anymore.
She Faced The Storm Early, But She Found Her Ground
Things moved quickly when her face became known. Judi has spoken before about needing help to deal with all the attention. She turned to therapy at one point. It helped her feel steadier again.
She was still learning who she was when Walford gave her that intense role. Precious Hudson was married to gangster Angel, played by Goldie. Judi once shared how Goldie pulled up in a Ferrari while she was still riding the train. She tried to act cool and hide her ticket.
That moment stayed with her and never held her back. She kept going, picking up parts in Twilight, Garfield, and plenty more along the way.
Now, she walks with quiet strength. It shows in how she carries herself today. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
