Zara McDermott walks red carpet with Graziano for Pride of Britain Awards

Zara McDermott and her Strictly Come Dancing dance partner Graziano Di Prima walked the red carpet together for The Daily Mirror Pride Of Britain Awards With TSB.

Her boyfriend Sam Thompson was nowhere to be seen as she and Graziano posed up a storm for the cameras. Zara looked sensation in a form-fitting white gown with a thigh-high split. The dress also featured a glittery mesh corset that added to the final ethereal look.

Zara matched the corset with glittery heels and a statement pair of earrings. She posed for a few solo shots before standing by her dance partner - who rocked a cream-coloured suit and a black button-up shirt. The duo looked picture-perfect as Graziano, who married wife Giada Lini last year, placed his hands on her waist.

The Love Island star's boyfriend, Sam Thompson, was nowhere to be seen on the red carpet. However, the two were later pictured giving each other a quick peck on the lips before heading inside. She previously revealed her gruelling schedule of Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals and live shows meant she struggled to find time to spend with her Made In Chelsea star boyfriend.

The TV personality recently shared that she currently has an 11-hour day with her Strictly pro partner Graziano and that this means she is missing time with Sam, who is a Radio DJ who has an evening show on Hits Radio. Zara has said that with Sam not around when she gets home, she is practising her steps with their cats Albus and Cedric.

Speaking about her intense schedule for the BBC dance show, Zara said: "We did 11 hours last week, 8-7pm and we really didn't stop. Sam does his radio show every evening so when I come home from training, he's at work so I rehearse on my own or use one of the cats."

Despite having no time to spend with each other while she competes, she praised the support Sam provides her as she hopes to stay on Strictly for a long time. Zara continued: "But he has been amazing... we talk all the time on the phone, especially because I'm at rehearsals a lot. He is always at the end of the phone if I need to chat and he's super supportive. He's very positive."

The reality star turned documentary presenter has admitted that she wouldn't have landed a spot on this year's Strictly if Love Island was the only show on her TV CV. She is the first former Love Islander to appear on Strictly, which has previously shied away from casting reality stars from the ITV2 dating show.
