Zara\u2019s injury update comes less than a week after she revealed her “feet were bleeding” while rehearsing the Cha Cha Cha with Graziano, 29.<\/p>\n
Prior to completing her first live performance on the celebrated BBC ballroom show, which she received just 19 points for, the former Made In Chelsea star opened up about her foot pain.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Sun, she said: \u201cGraziano told me not to go for the heels but to dance in men’s shoes at the start.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him, ‘It’s not working, I need to take them off,’ and he said, ‘No, no you’re fine’.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zara continued to say that when she took the shoes off her feet, they were bleeding.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, ‘I told you I am not being dramatic\u2019,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
