STRICTLY’S Zara McDermott has shared a medical update with fans after revealing she has a stress fracture in her tibia.

The Love Island star, 27, was previously told by doctors that it is just going to get worse – and could need more surgery.

After spending some time away in Dubai with boyfriend Sam Thompson, Zara is back in the UK and has had some news.

Zara told fans on Instagram: “This evening I’m heading to the hospital because while I was away I got some news from my Dr about my tibia fracture.

“The good news is that there is some small evidence of healing! Yay!

“However he said he can see that the bone surrounding the fracture is under a lot of tension/pressure… whatever that means?

“Surgery is still an option but I’ve opted for the most natural route which is to try and help it heal on its own…

“Which means for the next few months I’m going to be on crutches and in a boot, which I’m being fitted for today.

“I’ve had to pull out of a few work things over the next few weeks because I know I need to prioritise my leg healing, but I’m hoping this is the beginning of the end now!”

Earlier this month the presenter opened up about her health concerns in an Instagram post, and pleaded for advice.
