Love Island star devastated after being mown down by electric bike menace driving on the wrong side of the road
A LOVE Island star has been left devastated after being mown down by an electric bike menace driving on the wrong side of the road.
The reality TV favourite took to her Instagram to reveal that she had been “sworn at” by the rogue driver after she was knocked over.
Zara McDermott looked red in the face and upset as she revealed that “nobody came to help” after the accident.
Posting a selfie to her Instagram fans, she looked towards the camera, showing herself make-up free and with her hair pulled back.
“To the cyclist who was riding an electric bike on the wrong side of the road, knocked me over on a busy main road, swore at me and drove off, thanks,” she penned.
“Honestly – what is wrong with some people?”
“The worst thing is, no one came over to help me,” Zara, 26, added.
Zara went on to brush off the incident as she posted a snap of herself looking glamorous for International Women’s Day.
The TV star – who rose to fame on Love Island in 2018 alongside her then beau Adam Collard – smiled into the distance for the snap.
She thanked the “community of women on her social media” for giving her “strength” as she told them: “I love you all.”
It comes after Zara revealed her huge new career change working with ROYALTY after quitting reality TV fame.
She has been working on a campaign to support the development of young children with the Princess of Wales.
Kate drafted a number of famous faces including Zara and Professor Green, Fearne Cotton, Giovanni Fletcher and Leah Williamson to work on the Shaping Us project.
Earlier this month, Zara shared photos from the launch and said how happy she was to have been selected.
She penned: “I am absolutely honoured to be working with the Princess Of Wales on her new campaign, Shaping Us.
“Studies have shown that so many of us don’t fully understand the magnitude of the first 0-5 years of a child’s life and how crucial these years are to forming who we become as adults.”
Back in 2020, Zara bravely campaigned about the devastating impact of revenge porn for her first BBC documentary.
The first time it happened to her was when she was just 14-years-old, after she felt pressured to send a naked picture of herself to a boy at school.
It then happened to her again when she shot to fame on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018.
She also recently said she vowed to change her social media content after learning it ‘triggers’ people with eating disorders.
