Zara McDermott hits out at cyclist who knocked her over on busy road and rode off

Former Love Island star Zara McDermott was left reeling after she was knocked over by a cyclist on an electric bike who was riding on the wrong side of the road.

The reality TV star took to Instagram to recount the shocking story to her fans as she showed off a nasty-looking red mark on her cheek.

Zara, 26, revealed her anger to her followers not only over the incident but also about how nobody stopped to help her – including the cyclist that had hit her.

She wrote: “To the cyclist who was riding an electric bike on the wrong side of the road, knocked me over on a busy main road. Swore at me and drove off. Thanks.

“Honestly what is wrong with some people!!! The worst thing is no one came over to help me.”

Later in the day, Zara appeared to be feeling a little less shaken up as she shared a post celebrating her friends and family, wishing them a happy International Women’s Day.

Zara focused in particular on her boyfriend Sam Thompson’s sister Louise Thompson giving her a special mention.

Louise suffered a traumatic birth experience with her baby boy Leo-Hunter, ending up in intensive care following the labour and suffering with her mental health including PTSD in the 16 months since.

Sharing an adorable pH๏τo of Louise on the beach with her son she wrote: “To the women who are raising our children of the future…

“And to those women that are a constant reminder of fearlessness, ferocity, strength and courageousness.”
