Zara Mcdermott Recalls Secret To Calming Nerves Whilst Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott could be at risk of elimination, according to a body language expert who has analysed her performances on the BBC show to date.
Body language expert Darren Stanton has said Zara has exhibited "flashes of fear" alongside Graziano.
The expert told Betfair Casino: “It was quite a wooden performance, it felt like she was led around the floor and didn’t play much of an input.
"I think it’s the second week that this has happened.
"There were a few moments where she shows flashes of fear and her confidence levels aren’t there.
"Whether it's workload or rapport I'm not sure, but I don’t think they have a strong connection.”
Reality TV star Zara failed to impress the judges last weekend and ended up in the dreaded dance-off.
She performed the Paso Doble to The Puss Suite from Puss in Boots but scored just 25 points.
Luckily she avoided being kicked off the show, and Nikita Kanda was the second celebrity to be sent home.

Speaking to Radio Times about her Strictly experience, Zara said: "It has exceeded my expectations in every single way.
"I think it's so unique and beautiful to be able to dedicate all your time and literally all your time to learning something new. You have to just completely leave your ego at the door and just think 'I'm not afraid to look stupid for the first couple of days.'
"My body is getting to grips with this new thing. I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, and definitely not a natural dancer.
"So I've definitely had to put in that extra graft and that extra effort to make it start to come naturally. But it's been honestly amazing. And I've I have got the best partner."
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight at 6.30pm on BBC One.
