Zara McDermott has reportedly doubled her wealth after her time on Strictly Come Dancing which was hit by scandal.

The former Love Island star, 27, appeared in the BBC series last year before reports emerged that she was ‘hit and kicked’ during rehearsals by now axed professional Graziano Di Prima. 

It came at a time of crisis for the show after Amanda Abbington‘s complaints about her partner Giovanni Pernice had come to light.

But despite a tough time on the show, since the appearance she has boasted some impressive financials.  

The beauty saw her wealth grow from £142,726 in 2022 to £309,913 in 2023, according to new accounts filed to Companies House, reports The Sun.

Since her time on Love Island Zara has become a documentary maker for the BBC and recently released a fitness clothes range Rise with Tesco.

Her latest documentary Ibiza: Secrets of the Party Island followed her uncovering the dark side of the holiday destination.

A representative for Zara has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

It comes after the bombshell accusations of abuse towards her from her Strictly partner Graziano.

She had remained silent about the ordeal but shared her side of the story after she was confronted by BBC bosses during an investigation into their professional dancers’ conduct.

She released a statement to her two million Instagram followers which explained she had ‘wrestled with the fear of opening up’ because she was ‘scared about public backlash and of victim shaming’.

The documentary presenter wrote: ‘Reports have been made about my treatment on the show and there were witnesses to some events, as well as videos of particular incidents which are incredibly distressing to watch.

‘After a lot of conversations with those I love, I’ve gained the strength to face these fears.

‘And when I was asked to speak to the BBC, I spoke candidly about my time on the show.’

Last month it was also revealed that the former Made In Chelsea star competed in a dance off with a fractured leg and her professional dancer partner kicked her during their training sessions.

The Sun revealed Zara needed painkillers to get through ten-hour training sessions after breaking a leg bone on the show.

Professional dancer Giovanni has also been let go from the show following an ongoing investigation into his conduct after actress Amanda told the broadcaster she had been mistreated.

The findings of a BBC probe regarding the allegations are set to be released soon.

Zara and her boyfriend Sam Thompson’s close pal Pete Wicks is now among the next set of stars to take part in the show.
