A video of Zara McDermott seemingly "passing out" during a Strictly Come Dancing rehearsal with Graziano Di Prima has re-emerged. The 27-year-old reality TV star was spotted lying on the dance studio floor. The clip starts with Zara entering the studio and handing over a bottle of Lucozade.
The footage, filmed by Graziano and originally shared on his Instagram Story , then shows her lying next to the mirror. The caption of the clip reads: "She asked my 5 minutes break," accompanied by a shocked face emoji as the camera zooms in. The video was recorded on October 25, just a few days before the pair's elimination in week six of the dance competition.
Zara had reshared the clip shortly after it was posted and seemed to make light of the situation. She commented at the time: "I think I've clocked about 50k steps already today with this routine. Give me a break pls", reports the Mirror .
She included a laughing emoji in her message. This comes as the BBC is looking into allegations regarding Graziano's conduct. It's reported that the dancer has been accused of physical and verbal abuse.
Over the weekend, it was alleged that Graziano had "repeatedly kicked and hit" his former Love Island dance partner during their stint on the show. Zara didn't initially lodge a formal complaint, but it's understood she's now working with investigators and has engaged legal representation. Following the allegations, she's stopped following Graziano on Instagram, though she still follows his wife.
