She may have shot to fame in the Love Island villa.
However Zara McDermott is taking another step to leave the world of reality TV firmly behind as she is reportedly set to feature as a mentor in an upcoming episode of The Apprentice.
The reality star turned documentary maker has been brought on board to give the candidates advice on social media marketing as they battle for a place in the final five.
With 2million Instagram followers and having built a successful career following her fame on the ITV dating show, Zara sure knows a thing or two about using social media to build a brand.
During the episode contestants will have to design pet products and create a social media campaign for UK retailers.
A source told The Sun: ‘Zara has amassed thousands of followers on social media, which explains why the producers were keen to have her on board.’

The Daily Mail have contacted the BBC and Zara’s representatives for comment.
Since appearing on Love Island back in 2018 the star has gone on to film six documentaries for the BBC, tackling challenging topics including revenge porn and eating disorders.
She also competed in the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Zara is currently dating One Direction star Louis Tomlinson after the pair got together last March.
It’s been a great start to the year for Louis as he landed Number One album with his record, How Did I Get Here?.
And gushing over his achievement, Zara said that ‘proud is an understatement’ as she shared a sweet tribute to her boyfriend.
The singer released his album on January 23, four years after the release of his last record, and it soared straight to the top of the UK charts.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Zara reshared Louis’ celebratory post, which showed him proudly posing with his award, as she told followers she was incredibly proud of his achievement.

She continued: ‘You deserve this my love. The kindest, most loving human being on this earth.
She concluded the post with: ‘Thank you for blessing all of us with your art and incredible hard work!❤️’
It’s understood that Zara has moved into multi-millionaire Louis’s north London mansion, having initially moved back into her parents’ house after leaving the Fulham home she shared with ex-boyfriend Sam Thompson.
