‘What do I have to lose’: Strictly’s Zara McDermott reflects on ‘daunting’ dance-off

Strictly Come Dancing contestant Zara McDermott reflected on finishing in the bottom two after her performance last weekend with her professional dancer partner Graziano Di Prima

The former Love Islander said: “Dance-offs don’t get any easier the more you do them...What do I have to lose at this point, I need to just take on the judge’s comments and just be more confident in myself.”

Ms McDermott said her “nerves” got the better of her during the “daunting” dance-off.

Comedian Eddie Kadi was eliminated after squaring off against the star presenter in a dance-off for the judge’s votes.
