Zaraah burst onto the ice three weeks into the competition, after a devastated Michael Underwood broke his ankle and was pulled off the rink for good.
Paired up with Sarah Greene's former skating partner Fred, the couple produced some instant ice magic and glided effortlessly together to ABBA’s Take a Chance – scoring a whopping 18.5 for their very first performance.
The ex-Corrie star went on to recreate her grace and ease across the ice and wow the judges week by week. In fact Zaraah's scores just kept getting higher and higher, and by week six, she'd picked up 22.5 points after a stunning performance to Prince’s Diamonds and Pearls.

Head panellist Robin told the star: ‘That choreography and routine was like watching two professional skaters.’
But it hasn’t all been plain sailing for the young ice star, and Zaraah has had her confidence knocked after finding herself in four skate-offs.
Happily however, after seeing off Steve, Linda, Greg and Gareth, her impressive semi-final routine secured her a place the final show.
