Zara McDermott is currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing and has hit back at a comment about her dance skills. The 26-year-old was challenged on her Charleston moves when it was announced that she'd be dancing the genre for the Halloween special.
A short clip was shown of Zara having a go at some of the steps under the guidance of her professional partner Graziano Di Prima, prompting one person to comment: 'Oh, Zara. I love watching you. But you'll have to have more swivel than that. I hope that was long before the 1st show and you've got better since.'
Zara noticed the comment and responded with a fact to shut it down. 'This was filmed before we even started training for week 1! X.' Zara and Graziano have survived the dance-off twice, beating Nikita Kanda and Gorka Marquez in week two and Eddie Kadi and partner Karen Hauer on Sunday.
Now, Zara has vowed to change her ways and 'work on controlling those nerves' so they won't land in the dance-off again. Her boyfriend, Sam Thompson, has also promised to do more to support her and increase her chances of staying in the competition.
Sam admitted on his Hits UK radio show that it is difficult when the results don't pan out in Zara's favour. He said: 'Zara was in the dance-off again! It's happening all too often and it's very hard to take as a boyfriend because she comes back all deflated and she's worked so hard.'
Sam has used his Instagram to encourage people to vote for Zara, and has vowed to 'come back stronger this week' to help her chances. He said: 'We're not going to go down without a fight baby.'
