Zara McDermott looks stylish as she reveals her nerves after narrowly missing Strictly elimination again with pro partner Graziano Di Prima
Zara McDermott looked stylish for an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two on Tuesday night.
The TV personality, 26, was joined by her professional partner Graziano Di Prima, 29, as she narrowly discussed how to avoid elimination for the second time during the competition.
Zara went to the studio with presenter Fleur East and wore a chic baby pink jumpsuit, which zipped up the front and tied at the waist with a belt.
Graziano smiled next to her and looked dapper in a powder blue suit with a black T-shirt underneath.
The duo have endured mixed fortunes since the show’s inception, falling victim to the dreaded dance-off twice.

Zara explained: ‘Dancing doesn’t get any easier. My nerves got the better of me and I’m doing everything I can to work on them this week.
“This is scary and daunting no matter how much you rehearse.
‘I am so grateful for this man, he has been my rock. He always brings the energy and positivity.”
Uploading a photo to Instagram before the show, she added: ‘See you tonight on BBC Strictly It Takes Two, talking about our Charleston this week, how last weekend went for us and also how we’re trying to get through those nerves this week to work and break it’s Saturday!’
It comes after Sam Thompson admitted he ‘could have done more’ for girlfriend Zara after she narrowly avoided elimination for the second time.
After failing to impress with their Pasodoble in week three, the pair were back in the bottom two on Sunday night – but were rescued at the expense of comedian Eddie Kadi and professional partner Karen Hauer.
Meanwhile, Zara’s boyfriend Made In Chelsea star Sam, 31, admitted he partly blames himself for her appearance in the bottom two.
He revealed he had been distracted by another priority during the week but would come back ‘stronger’ to support her performance on Saturday.

Let down: It comes after Sam Thompson admitted he ‘could have done more’ for girlfriend Zara after reaching bottom two
In his radio program Hits in Great Britain with Sam, he shared with his listeners, “Zara was dancing again! It happens all too often and it’s very hard to accept as a boyfriend because she comes back completely deflated and has worked so hard.
‘I have to be honest with you, even though I could have done a little more! I got a little distracted by the rugby, by the World Cup and I didn’t go as big with my usual Instagram efforts, but I’m going to come back stronger this week!
“We’re not going down without a fight, baby!”
Sam wasn’t in the audience to support Zara on Saturday as she only gets two tickets and has her friends and family on a ‘rota system’.
Zara and Graziano narrowly avoided elimination after scoring 28 for their American Smooth against LeeAnn Rimes’s Can’t Fight The Moonlight.
