Following the release of the BBC documentary The Dark Side of Paradise, Zandra McDermott made it clear to her fans when she opened up for a candid question and answer session.
Zara McDermott has admitted the difficulty she faced while filming for her new BBC documentary series. The presenter, 28, is the face of The Dark Side of Paradise, but confessed she doesn’t feel like a “natural” in front of the camera.
In the new series, Zara and her camera crew examine everyone who travels to Thailand in search of longer-term roots. As the team discovers what happens when the dream of paradise is broken, secrets are discovered along the way.
And while fans were quick to praise Zara’s actions in the eye-opening documentary, she admitted she has had to discover herself as the role went on. Taking part in a Q&A on Instagram, the former Love Island star was asked what her favourite part of the production on such a show is.

She stated, “Development or producing for sure” I genuinely don’t believe I’m a natural when I’m in front of the camera (well, I wasn’t initially).
I’ve learned it, and over time, my confidence has increased. Producing is a significant component of my job on the ground because I work in the factual space.
However, Zara did state that she enjoyed presenting because she believed she could be used as a “channel for people to tell their stories.” She asserts that “it’s about them, not me, it’s about them, which is a big reason why I love what I do so much.”
She also acknowledged to her fans that she believes she has developed since taking to the stage as both a person and as a presenter. When someone tells me a heartfelt story or experience, I can honestly say that when I hear it.
“I actually feel those emotions with them,” she added as she admitted she is growing more emotionally aware of others as she gets older. It comes as she continues to grow into her relationship with former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
The duo’s latest romantic milestone was reported last month, and it was claimed that they had moved in together. Their coupling had been the subject of months’ worth of speculation, but they recently made an Instagram official debut, and it seems like things are progressing.
She is said to have moved into the London mansion, which is owned by Louis, 33. She broke up with her ex-boyfriend Sam Thompson at the end of last year, which is a big deal.
After putting in more and more time there, insiders now claim Zara has since moved to the One Direction star’s residence. She has spent her entire time at his place, and she has essentially moved in, according to the source.
They continued, “Zara has even started using that platform to create her social media videos instead of her parents,” according to the Sun. After splitting from her ex, she returned to her family home.
