She mentioned that she was “the Class Clown” of her family, and also a very dramatic and shy person. Even when Shantol was filming an intimate scene in Yardi (2018), she confessed that she was thinking about what will her parents say.

As for her ancestry, she is Jamaican, and a proud one at that. On Jamaican Independence day 2020, Shantol took it to her IG to write, “Happy Independence! AMAICA WI 5IFTYGR88T YA NOW!”

Shantol Jackson On Death In Paradise

Shantol Jackson was all set to appear as Naomi Thomas, a new ambitious young sergeant on Death In Paradise season 11. According to BBC, her character Naomi was a “gifted” young officer who moved from a neighboring island to join the Saint Marie Police. But, since she moved in from a smaller force, her lack of experience was something that might spice things up.

Overjoyed with being cast in the popular series, Shantol took it to her IG to thank all her loved ones who’ve contributed to her “growth and development.”
