The former 'Love Island' star - whose 'Revenge Porn' documentary impressed BBC bosses - is set to start filming the new BBC Three dating show later this summer.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Zara is quickly becoming a real BBC darling and following the success of her documentary earlier this year, she was approached for 'Love In The Flesh'.
"It will be Zara's first time presenting a big show but bosses think she is more than ready for it.
"And because of her 'Love Island' past, Zara knows all too well what it can be like finding love on screen."
The AGE-year-old star will front the new programme which sees couples who met during the pandemic on a dating app now meeting in person for the first time.
The source added: "The show will put pairings who only ever talked online or over the phone into a real-life date.
"It will all be filmed abroad and will have a 'Love Island' vibe about it in that the surroundings will be really glamorous and romantic.
"Zara was thrilled when she was offered the chance to take part."
And while ongoing travel restrictions mean filming dates aren't set in stone, bosses are hoping to start production later this year.
Meanwhile, it was previously reported Zara is being lined up as a "worthy successor" to Stacey Dooley as the Beeb's star documentary aker.
An insider said: "They’re always on the lookout for new talent who viewers, particularly younger viewers, will find relatable.
“They think they’ve found that in Zara, a worthy successor to Stacey who’s increasingly taking on a variety of different shows outside of her factual roots.”
