Yahoo News Zara McDermott "fuming" as Pete Wicks outlasts her on Strictly
Zara McDermott has been left "fuming" after Pete Wicks outlasted her on Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Love Island star appeared on the hit dancing competition last year with her professional partner Graziano Di Prima.
The pair became the fifth couple to leave the series after losing the dance-off to Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk in week six.
Zara's boyfriend Sam Thompson took to Instagram on Sunday (October 27) to share a hilarious Reel after learning that Pete had made it further in the competition than Zara did.

"When you tell Zara that Pete is going to get further than her on Strictly," the post's caption read.
The lip sync video saw Sam taunting Zara in a restaurant as she jokingly mouthed: "Look at me in the windows to my soul, shut the f*** up," to which Sam wrote: "She's fuming".
Zara later reposted the clip on her own Instagram Story, writing: "I knew this would happen and I'll never hear the end of it."

Fans quickly took to the comments section to share their reactions to the hilarious video, with one writing: "Both your lip syncs are always on point!"
"This is the best one yet," another added, while a third said: "Absolutely BRILLIANT you guys!!!"
Another fan even went on to challenge Sam to join Strictly next year to see if he'd get further in the competition than his best friend.
"Sam you’ve gotta go on Strictly now to see who would get further – you or Pete," they wrote.

During this weekend's Halloween special, Pete and his partner Jowita Przystał performed a Joker-inspired Viennese Waltz to 'That's Life' by Frank Sinatra. The pair scored 31 points from the judges – their highest score so far.
"I go back to week one and I remember those scores and I remember how nervous you are, and you come out here this evening as the Joker with absolutely no joke when it came to the dancing," said head judge Shirley Ballas.
For the show's upcoming Icons Week, Pete will be paying tribute to legendary Queen singer Freddie Mercury.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
