STRUTTING into the Love Island villa, stunning civil servant Zara McDermott effortlessly caused chaos, splitting up a seemingly happy couple.
That was the launch of her TV career five years ago as she stole bad boy Adam Collard, 27, from his partner Rosie Williams, 31 – prompting tears and tantrums in the ITV2 villa.
But now, Zara projects an entirely different image.
The raunchy lingerie posts on social media and romance dramas are gone, replaced by gripping documentaries, a committed relationship and luxury holidays.
Her rebranding has been so successful that even Strictly Come Dancing has snapped her up – ending its ban on reality stars.
