She said: ‘He is amazing, he’s so nice. Training is tougher than I thought it would be. It’s arms and legs and feet, all these things you have to put together in my brain all at once, but it is an amazing experience.’<\/p>\n
Zara\u00a0made history by becoming the first former Love Island contestant to win a place on\u00a0Strictly\u00a0– but\u00a0insisted she won’t be drawing inspiration from any of her former cast mates when the show gets underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The TV personality found fame after featuring on the ITV2 dating show in 2018, during which her romance with villa lothario Adam Collard became one of its more dominant narrative lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She’s since reestablished herself as a BBC\u00a0documentarian, with hard-hitting expose’s on revenge porn, rape culture and eating disorders winning her a new army of fans – and a nomination for Authored Documentary at the National Television Awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
