Zara McDermott pays poignant tribute to ‘guardian angel’ ahead of Strictly stint

The former Love Island star posted photos of her giant blister this week as she began training full time, and she wishes a special relative was still around to see her on the show

Zara McDermott says her grandma will be her guardian angel when she takes to the Strictly dancefloor.

The former Love Island star posted photos of her giant blister in the studio this week as she began training full time. And Zara wishes gran Winifred were still around to see her hard work on the BBC show from Friday night. Zara, 26, said: “I remember watching the first series when I was seven, with my nan.

“We would watch the show and replicate the dances ourselves. She’s sadly passed away now but I just think that she would be over the moon. I feel like she’s looking down on me. She’s my little guardian angel.” Of her preparations, Zara said: “I’m really into my exercise and my weight training and everything anyway.

“I’m doing stretching every day, more cardio, things like that, because I know how intense this is going to be. I am obviously scared of being injured as well – this is such a new way of movement, something I have never done before.” And despite claiming to have no natural dance ability, she confessed: “I would love to win!”
