ZARA McDermott looked incredible in a plunging top as she supported boyfriend Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks just hours before the results of the Strictly probe.
The Love Island star, 27, attended Sam and Pete’s final night of their live stage show Staying Relevant – which they played at the Hammersmith Apollo in London last night.
Zara opted for a light green plunging waist coat and matching trousers for the evening.
She completed the look with a straw handbag and matching open toe high heels.
The reality favourite accessorised with gold bangles and earrings.
She styled her long straight locks into a middle parting and went for a natural make-up look.
There were some other famous faces in attendance, including Marvin Humes and Sam’s sister’s partner Ryan Libbey.
Made In Chelsea favourite Sam and Pete have been close for a number of years since striking up a friendship on Celebs Go Dating.
Zara is close to Sam’s best mate Pete – who was confirmed as one of the celebrities taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The beauty took part in the 21st series of the BBC competition last year.
Zara and her partner Graziano Di Prima were the fifth pair to be eliminated from the show.
The BBC documentary presenter was in high spirits last night ahead of the results of the Strictly probe being released today.
Strictly Come Dancing has come under fire in recent months after TWO professional dancers quit the show.
Giovanni Pernice left Strictly in May after an investigation into how he treated his partner Amanda Abbington began.
Then Graziano Di Prima was fired by the Beeb following claims he hit, spat at and kicked Zara during rehearsals.
Today the BBC’s findings on claims of bullying behaviour by ex-Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice are expected to be released.
October 2023: Amanda abruptly withdraws from Strictly having already missed one live show. Her departure is announced in a vague BBC statement that ‘wishes her the best’.
Giovanni posts a short message on social media addressing the exit, which read: “Amanda… I am so sad we can’t continue but I am proud of what we achieved and I am sending you so much love.”
Amanda then shares her own farewell statement on Instagram thanking co-stars but failing to mention Gio.
Giovanni’s dad Piero insists there were no signs of a fall out and the pairing could have gone all the way. He praised his son as kind and polite.
November 2023: Giovanni is reportedly gutted by the situation and is considering his Strictly future as questions are raised about his conduct.
January 2024: Amanda’s PTSD diagnosis comes to light and she demands CCTV from rehearsals to prove that Giovanni’s training methods weren’t acceptable.
The BBC issues a statement defending its duty of care to contestants, insisting it takes any claims of wrongdoing very seriously.

March 2024: Giovanni publicly states he has no intention of leaving Strictly in a TV interview with close pal Anton du Beke.
Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore enter the picture. Allegedly the two celebs, who were both previously partnered with Giovanni on Strictly, didn’t feel the BBC took their issues with his methods seriously enough.
The pair have a closed meeting with Amanda where tears are said to be shed.

The BBC launches an internal investigation after three complainants instruct lawyers. A source describes it as a “nightmare situation”.
A source said: “The BBC are hopeful they will finally be able to share the findings of the probe but considering there have been so many delays, nothing is set in stone.
It is accepted the dossier won’t be released in full but instead a simple statement may be put out covering the conclusion.
“Either way there are many interested parties and it could pave the way for more celebrities or crew members to speak up.
“It’s down to the wire, but the BBC hope the sparkle of the new series launch could sweep away the scandal.”
