In a candid interview on the Auto Trader’s Show On The Road podcast, the 27-year-old Strictly star shared that there was not a single day without bullying, stating, “I would go in every day just thinking, what’s it going to be like today?”

McDermott recounted specific incidents, including being ridiculed by her entire science class while teachers appeared to ignore the situation.
