Zara McDermott is partnered with Graziano Di Prima as the pair prepare for the first Strictly Come Dancing live show.
Zara McDermott has put the blame on her Strictly Come Dancing co-star Graziano Di Prima for her nasty injury ahead of the live shows.
Zara and Graziano will be performing the Cha Cha Cha for the judging panel Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke this weekend. During their rehearsals ahead of the first live show, Zara suffered a nasty injury in heels and blames Graziano for her pain. "I said honestly it's hurting and I took them off and my feet were bleeding. I was like, 'I told you I am not being dramatic!'"Zara previously told the BBC that she joined the show to "push herself out of her comfort zone" as this is something she's been trying to do throughout her 20s. "Dancing is something that I know I'm not very good at and I'm not very strong and confident at," she confessed.
"A really big thing for me actually is from my documentaries, I meet so many women who are literally so nervous to be on camera, to be interviewed and I'm presented every single day with really brave people who are pushing themselves out of their comfort zone, being interviewed by me and doing something that's so crazy to them."
