Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott wowed fans when she watched her professional dancer’s new movie role.
Loyal fans of the BBC One dance competition will remember the documentary maker was eliminated from the competition during Halloween week. The dynamic duo danced their socks off in the dreaded dance-off against Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk but failed to secure their place in the competition.
But that hasn’t stopped the TV star from supporting her co-star from behind the wings. On Wednesday (November 22), the blonde bombshell took to her Instagram Stories to share the ballroom dancer’s hidden role in a Christmas movie.

The 29-year-old shared the screen with Glee star Matthew Morrison Sugababes beauty Jade Ewen, and romantic comedy legend Jennifer Lilley. The film follows the lives of professional dancer paired up with a complete novice who battle it out to win a ballroom competition in the heart of Paris.
Graziano played the role of Italian hunk Paolo who frequently competed against the leading man Leo and his new dance partner Emma who is completely new to dancing. It’s fair to say the former Love Island star was more than impressed with her pal’s role on the big screen.
Sharing the nail-biting clip of the tense dance off, Zara couldn’t help but gush over her co-star to her 1.8million followers online. She explained: “I’m polishing off my evening with a little movie – I’m watching Graz’s movie! How exciting. Hello Paolo, this is so awesome.”

She later informed her adoring fans where they could watch the full movie after she was flooded with messages from Strictly fans online. The pro dancer announced his role in the film on Instagram last week as he shared a slew of behind-the-scenes snaps from the lavish set.
He captioned the post: “HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! I am so happy to finally be able to say that I have featured in my first ever movie! I am playing the role of Paolo in ‘A Paris Christmas Waltz’ which debuts Sunday, Nov. 19 at 8p.m. eastern time on Great American Family, over in the US!
“When I was a young boy growing up in Sicily, I never dreamed that I would have the experiences that I am now, and I am so humbled and grateful to be able to have this opportunity. I cannot wait to watch with my family this Christmas [red heart emoji].”
