Zara McDermott is leaving the Love Island home for the dancing, as she has been cast in Strictly Come Dancing 2023.
She will compete alongside Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, and Amanda Abbington when the dance programme returns to BBC later this year.
Confirmation of her participation on the show follows reports that the influencer and documentary maker was set to become the first Love Island contestant to compete on Strictly.
Zara, unable to control her excitement at the prospect of being covered in sequins, stated, ‘I am so excited to be joining the world of Strictly!
‘I grew up watching it every year with my nan and she was the biggest Strictly fan. We would dance around the house and I have such fond memories of that time in my life.’
She added: ‘I even remember the first-ever series, and being mesmerised by all the beautiful dresses!
‘I can’t wait to throw myself into this experience and start training. It’s going to be incredible.’
