She got the leading roles in the films "Code of the Apocalypse" and "Shakespeare never dreamed of", switched to Channel One. And then Zavorotnyuk fell in love with her partner in "Dancing on Ice" Pavel Chernyshov. However, acquaintances said that in the Zhigunov-Zavorotnyuk pair, cold calculation was visible from her side and with an unarmed gaze. Blinded by love, the "midshipman" did not seem to notice this. His eyes opened later. And after two years of civil marriage, their union broke up.
