Britney Wainwright burst onto the scene as the scrappy girl from the same estate as Bianca Jackson, turning heads when Whitney Dean caught her eating out of bins. The situation escalated when Whitney confronted Britney’s mum, Keeley, leading to a physical altercation and a dramatic chase where Britney almost got run over, only to be saved by Whitney. Despite this rocky start, Whitney decided to take Britney under her wing, making a dubious deal with Keeley to care for her. While living in Walford, Britney’s luck didn’t improve much as she crashed her new bike and was hospitalized. There, she received a heart-breaking diagnosis of Usher Syndrome, which would eventually impair both her hearing and vision.

Whitney and Zack tried their best to support Britney through this tough period, though Zack often found it challenging. Enrolled in a new school, Britney faced bullying from a girl named Lacey-Mae but stood her ground. Things took a serious turn when a teacher discovered Britney’s illegal fostering situation. Thankfully, social services stepped in, making Britney Whitney and Zack Hudson’s official foster daughter. The family soon expanded with the birth of Dolly Dean-Hudson, creating a brief period of happiness.

However, drama was never far behind. Britney overheard Zack confessing to Lauren Branning about their one-night stand, just days before his wedding to Whitney. The big day turned chaotic as Britney exposed the secret, causing a rift in the family. Feeling like she had ruined everything, Britney asked to return to her old life in Milton Keynes. Realizing that neither she nor Britney were truly happy in Walford, Whitney made the tough decision to leave the square and start fresh.
