Talking of her impressive acting credentials, Zara tells us: “My first role was with Matt Lucas and David Walliams when I was ten - I did the Little Britain live tour which was great! I’ve done a bit in Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and a few commercials too. It’d be great to get back into that.

“The dream role? I’d love to be in a soap full time or a drama and then a Hollywood film! Anything like that! I trained in musical theatre to start with so we’ll see.”

During our with the former Miss Great Britain, she repeatedly took the time to thank her fans for their continued support.

“The public have been absolutely wonderful and I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you so much. It’s really overwhelming. A girl in Newcastle started a petition to get me my Miss Great Britain crown back and over 19,000 people have signed it. Honestly, I’m going to reply to every single one of them messages.”

Zara left the Love Island villa on Saturday after receiving news from home that her mother had taken ill.

Prior to that, the beauty Queen faced huge controversy after being stripped of her Miss Great Britain title by furious pageant organisers who handed the crown down to runner up, Deone Robertson.

Talking of Deone’s decision to step up, Zara adds: “I’ve spoken to Deone who’s the new Miss Great Britain which really upsets me to say. I never wanted to lose that title. Being Miss GB meant the absolute world to me. It was a really silly mistake and if I could turn back time I would, but I can’t – so I guess I’ve just got to live with that.”
