The ex-Love Island star turned documentary maker, 26, and pro Graziano Di Prima lost out to actor Adam Thomas and Luba Mushtuk in last night\u2019s Halloween special dance-off.<\/p>\n

Zara and Graziano, in bone costumes to dance the Charleston to Jeepers Creepers, had survived two previous dance-offs but it was third time unlucky last night.<\/p>\n

The judges voted unanimously to save Adam, 35, and Luba, 33, following their American smooth to Magic Moments.<\/p>\n

However, Motsi Mabuse said: \u201cThere was definitely a fighting spirit from both couples…I think they were both stunning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zara said: \u201cI have had the time of my life. Just to be here is incredible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy fellow contestants are just incredible. It has been the most amazing experience. \u201cI can\u2019t believe it\u2019s over but I am going to be here in spirit every week supporting them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graziano, 29, said he was \u201cso proud\u201d of Zara and said her work ethic summed up the show.<\/p>\n

He said of their training: \u201cShe has been great for me, 8am till 9pm. Never stopping, asking just for a half-an-hour break. \u201cShe is literally what Strictly is all about. A real novice, coming in, putting in all the hard job.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told Zara: \u201cYou have such a good soul. You are so humble and I say thank you that I found a friend like you. I have learnt so much from you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u25cf Strictly Come Dancing is on BBC One on Saturday at 7.05pm<\/p>\n
