Zara called her other half Sam Thompson the "best boyfriend in the universe" after he sang her praises over the documentary.

The reality favourite wanted to highlight the pain and suffering that many young people go through when their intimate pictures get leaked online.

Zara, 24, who admitted she felt suicidal when it happened to her, has used her platform to speak out for other victims of the awful crime as she herself knows how hard it is to deal with.

The first time it happened to her was when she was just 14, after she felt pressured to send a naked picture of herself to a boy at school.

It then happened to her again when she shot to fame on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018.

Today she was pictured out walking Sam's sister Louise's dogs after an exciting few days.

Her devoted boyfriend Sam wrote on his Instagram Story: "Just finished the doc @zara_mcdermott I can't tell you how proud I am.

"As a guy, I must confess I had no idea the impact something like this could have on a young girl's life.

"I think you handled yourself with grace, eloquence, and character talking about a tough subject that will resonate with so many people. Well done."

Zara - who was a Government advisor before she found fame on Love Island in 2018 - has quit Made in Chelsea to focus on more ideas to bring to the small screen.
