Brendan Cole thinks Zara McDermott will need a "miracle" to progress much further on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Zara McDermott has been tipped to flop
The 47-year-old dancer - who previously starred on the BBC show - has insisted that Zara is "not a dancer" and he doesn't expect her to go much further on the current series.
Brendan told Sky Bingo: "She’s not a dancer, she doesn’t feel it. She’s a beautiful girl but doesn’t create beauty on the dance floor.
"There are a few in the bottom of the competition that are kind of hanging on.
"You can’t have everybody being amazing. She’s not going to go too much further unless a miracle happens."
Zara, 26, found herself in the dreaded dance-off over the weekend, and although she managed to survive, the blonde beauty acknowledged that she has a lot of work to do.
The TV star told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I know I need to put in the extra effort because of my lack of experience - I need to go that extra mile."
Zara has been partnered with Graziano Di Prima on the show, and she's determined to make the most of his expertise.
Despite this, Zara conceded that she's "not the most natural dancer".
She shared: "Literally I am soaking in every single second ... I don't have the most natural rhythm, I'm not the most natural dancer."
Zara is also determined to listen to the 'Strictly' judges and learn from her mistakes.
She said: "They're not trying to break you, they're trying to make you ... they want to see you've listened to them and taken it on for the following week so that's all I can do really."
