Strictly bosses make shock U-turn

Elsewhere, Strictly bosses have reportedly made a U-turn after years of not booking reality TV stars for the show. As reported by the Daily Mail, Love Island star and Made In Chelsea cast member Zara McDermott has signed up to Strictly 2023.

After her stint on Love Island, she started dating MiC’s Sam Thompson, and now makes documentaries. Shown on BBC Three, she has investigated teenage eating disorders and her experience of revenge porn.

Speaking to the paper, a source said: “Zara is the perfect signing for Strictly, not only is she beautiful and glamorous but she is hard-working and will take being on the show very seriously.”

They continued: “She’s absolutely loved the experience of documentary making and is over the moon to further her relationship with the BBC by signing up to Strictly.”

“It is a dream come true for her,” they added. “And becoming the first former Love Island star to do so is the icing on the cake.”
