Zara McDermott breaks her silence on what she REALLY thinks of close friend Pete Wicks signing up to Strictly after she was abused on show


Zara McDermott has broken her silence after it was revealed close friend Pete Wicks will perform in Strictly Come Dancing this year.

Despite their close-knit friendship, Pete has landed a spot on the Strictly line-up amid shocking reports Zara performed on the show with a 'fractured' leg following an injury in training and needed painkillers to get through ten-hour rehearsals. As well as their podcast, the pair's working relationship sees them prank each other in viral social media videos based around Sam's enthusiasm and eagerness to please juxtaposed with Pete's moodiness. Show bosses learned the full extent of the injury only two weeks ago when Zara spoke to private investigators amid the inquiry into Graziano's behaviour.
