Zara McDermott and her partner Graziano Di Prima are “potential winners” of Strictly Come Dancing thanks to their “great rapport”, a body language expert said.

The 26 year old ex-Love Island star and the 29 year old pro dancer have a lot of respect for each other and shared “tactile moments” during their debut routine on Saturday, Darren Stanton said.

Earlier this week, OK! revealed how Zara was putting her all into winning Strictly - even if it meant spending time apart from boyfriend Sam Thompson.
