Zara McDermott couldn’t hold back the giggles when she was quizzed on her supposed romance with Olly Murs.
The Love Island star, who split from Adam Collard earlier this year, struggled to keep a straight face when questioned about a potential relationship between the pair.
Appearing on Victoria Derbyshire’s Instagram story, McDermott was asked: “Are you dating Olly Murs?”
A red-faced McDermott then threw her hand over her face before erupting into laughter.

To which the star yelled back: “No comment, no comment!”
Attempting to dig further Derbyshire speculated: “From your reaction and the very fact that you said no comment I think that’s confirmation..”
Embarrassed McDermott attempted to clarify: “No confirmation, no confirmation!”
