According to reports, Zara McDermott performed on Strictly Come Dancing with a broken leg, without the knowledge of BBC bosses. It has been revealed that the former Made In Chelsea star had been dealing with a hairline stress fracture in her leg while preparing for her Halloween dance with partner Graziano Di Prima.
This news comes after allegations that Di Prima had been physically aggressive towards Zara during rehearsals for the 2023 season of the show. Although he has since left the series, there has been much speculation and commentary surrounding the incident. Zara has stated that it was not a one-time occurrence, while Di Prima's representative has apologized and expressed concern for the toll this public scrutiny has taken on his client.

According to sources, Zara had been dancing with a fractured leg for the entire week leading up to her Halloween performance. Despite experiencing "niggling pain" and informing Di Prima about it, she pushed through and didn't mention the injury to the BBC until recently. It seems that Zara didn't want to cause any fuss and was determined to give her best performance.
Unfortunately, her injury only worsened as she continued to dance, and she was eventually diagnosed with a hairline stress fracture and ligament damage. The source claims that she was in a lot of pain during her final performance and was limping through the routine. It's been reported that she can't even watch the footage back because of the painful memories it brings back.
After the show, Zara was diagnosed with a hairline stress fracture and ligament damage. This revelation comes at a time when Graziano Di Prima has left Strictly amid accusations of his conduct in the rehearsal room. Allegations have also been made against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, who has denied any abusive or threatening behavior towards his former partner Amanda Abbington.
In light of these accusations, the director general of the BBC has issued an apology to anyone who has had a negative experience on the show. He also announced major changes to support the welfare of celebrities and professional dancers, including placing a production team member in the rehearsal room at all times and hiring two new welfare workers.
It's clear that the BBC is taking these matters seriously and is committed to ensuring a safe and positive environment for all involved in the show. As fans, we can only hope that this year's season will be a great one, with a focus on the amazing talent and hard work of the contestants and professionals.
