I was so badly bullied for my Christmas tree that I’m HIRING someone to decorate it for me this year, says Strictly star
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Zara McDermott says she’s nervous about decorating for Christmas after she was bullied for last year’s tree.
The TV star shared a photo of the 2022 pine, which was covered in red and gold decorations.
The tree appeared to be swashed into a corner and was a little wonky, with gingerbread men bunting wrapped around it.
“last years tree that I got bullied for,” she wrote in a caption beside it.
She asked her followers if she knew anyone who could help improve her decoration skills.
Zara is currently showing her support for boyfriend Sam Thompson who is in I’m A Celebrity.
It’s been a massive year for the pair after Zara competed in Strictly Come Dancing.
However, Zara wasn’t impressed when she heard Sam give his best friend Pete Wicks a shout-out on the show.
As he took on the latest Bushtucker Trial in Thursday night’s episode, supportive Zara, 26, took to Instagram to share her disbelief as he gave a shout out to best mate Pete Wicks instead of her.
In a post on her story, Strictly Come Dancing star Zara wrote: “Did he just say ‘do it for Pete’???”
The former Love Island star added: “What about ‘do it for Zara’?”
Former Towie star Pete, 35, and Sam have been close pals since meeting on Celebs Go Dating in 2018 and even present podcast Staying Relevant together.
This isn’t the first time that Zara has been snubbed for the former Towie star.
Sam took Pete with him to Australia, despite her being available as she is no longer in Strictly.
Speaking to Fleur East on Hits Radio Breakfast Show, she said: “When I left Strictly I was like ‘Shall I pack my case?’ and he went ‘Oh no it’s already been arranged Pete is coming’.”
She continued: ‘When I suggested maybe Pete and I could both go, he said, “No, just Pete!” Maybe I can get Pete to take a cardboard cut-out of me … But you know what it’s fine, absolutely fine.
“I’ve got all the time in the world to live with him and see him. If he wants Pete at the end of that bridge I respect and appreciate that – also I can’t wait to see that hug!”
Zara made history as the first Love Island star to take part in Strictly Come Dancing.
She was eliminated in week six after her Halloween dance failed to impress.
