Shekoni began her career on LIVE TV. In an interview with lads mag Maxim (November 1999), the then 22-year-old Shekoni said:
| “ | In this line of work you've got to be up for a laugh and be willing to talk about everything. You can't hold back. Either you're an exhibitionist or you're not. I am. And I've certainly never been the sort of girl who turns the lights out. I like a man to tell me his secrets. It shows he's not going to disappear in the morning. Plus I can then go and tell everyone else or use it to blackmail him. I've got a wild imagination so there'll always be [sexual] ambitions left to fulfil.[2] | ” |
In 2002 she became well known for playing the role of Precious Hudson in the soap EastEnders. Shekoni has also appeared in films including Garfield 2, Jekyll and Hyde, and Ali G Indahouse. Shekoni has also made guest appearances in Casualty, Fat Friends and The King of Queens.
In 2005, she appeared in the ITV reality TV show, Celebrity Love Island alongside Calum Best, Paul Danan, Abi Titmuss and Nikki Ziering.
Shekoni currently lives in Los Angeles where she has appeared on US television shows such as NCIS, All of Us and Damages. She is the host of Fox Reality show When Women Rule the World, which is yet to air. She has been cast to play Zafrina in the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, due to be released in two parts over 2011 and 2012. Zafrina is from the Amazon Coven, and is a particularly talented vampire with the supernatural ability to create visual illusions.
