The former Strictly Come Dancing star first visited Ibiza in 2019 and fell in love with the party island .

She has since returned to visit as a tourist and reveller on many occasions, but she wants to see how it works.

The former Made In Chelsea star will look into the 'phenomenon' of the island and the struggle to attract more of a prestigious clientele.

When the show was first announced back in July 2023, she explained: "I’ll be discovering what makes Ibiza tick and finding out what the future might hold for this ever changing island.

"As the 'Instagram effect' makes Ibiza the place to be seen for more and more young Brits I’m keen to explore how the island operates and deals with the challenges this poses."

Zara has previously presented a variety of documentaries on all different subjects for BBC Three.
