Strictly star Tasha Ghouri reveals she almost quit Love Island and had therapy while she was in the villa

As a former contestant of reality television shows myself, I can truly empathize with Tasha’s whirlwind journey from Love Island to Strictly Come Dancing. The girl is on fire! It’s impressive how she manages to juggle her personal life and professional dance career so gracefully, all while maintaining a sense of humor.


On Sunday, Tasha Ghouri shared that she nearly left Love Island, discussing her time in the ITV2 villa and her personal experiences.

26-year-old contestant from Strictly, who gained popularity on the popular reality dating program in 2022, confessed that she wished to depart the show due to the constant whirlwind of activities, longing for her loved ones and companions.

Tasha, who is hearing-impaired, shared that following consultations with a therapist and the ITV wellness team, she chose to continue on the show and compete alongside her partner, Andrew Le Page, in the finals.

In a conversation with The Sunday Times, she shared that by midway through Love Island, she was considering leaving because the environment was incredibly busy, and without access to their phones or communication with family and friends, it became challenging.

When inquired if she’d participate in the show once more, Tasha responded: “Definitely not. Don’t get me wrong; I’m incredibly grateful for the chance it provided me, it helped launch my career and introduced me to my boyfriend Andrew, but I wouldn’t choose to do it again.

In the finale of Love Island, Tasha and Andrew came close to winning but ultimately lost to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.

In my role as a lifestyle guide, I’d put it this way: After finding myself in a bit of a whirlwind on the dating show, I unintentionally stirred up some drama when I developed a strong connection with Coco Lodge during our time at Casa Amor. The fallout from that situation certainly tested my relationship.

After Coco disclosed that she had intimate moments with Andrew during their time outside of the main house, Tasha found herself boiling with anger. This revelation led Andrew to admit that he had merely forgotten about the encounter.

I just couldn’t contain my shock when Andrew confided in me, during our heated moment in the pool after I made my grand entrance into the main villa, that he intended to “wreck” me with a kiss on my chest. It left me speechless!

Across the villa, Tasha shouted angrily at Andrew upon hearing about his deeds, calling him dishonest and expressing that she felt he had ruined things.

After sharing the details with Tasha, Coco elaborated, “There was a great deal of physical contact, and a multitude of words were exchanged. It’s clear that he had strong intentions towards me, in a romantic or intimate sense.

After Tasha inquired if there were any additional incidents, Coco responded: “Following his actions of fondling my breasts and expressing his desire to cause harm? It was a sincere discussion about our sexual interaction.

Speaking in the Beach Hut, Tasha said: ‘He’s showed me what he would be like on the outside world and I’m not here for that… He’s f**ked it. I’m done.’

Later on, Coco expressed regret to Tasha and admitted, “I’ve been keeping it bottled up. It just slipped out, possibly not in the best manner. I’m trying hard not to, but I feel a sense of guilt.

Later on, she was spotted speaking privately with Andrew, informing him that she had shared the matter with the group. This prompted Andrew to inquire, “Did you tell her everything?

In a more conversational rephrase, Coco might say: “Oops, I didn’t mean to say that,” and Andrew could respond with something like: “No worries, accidents happen.

Later on, Tasha and Andrew resolved their disagreements when he apologized, and they rekindled their friendship. Eventually, they ended up in fourth place together.

Currently, Tasha is partnering with Aljaz Škorjanec on the popular BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.

As a die-hard admirer, let me share this delightful tidbit: Tasha herself confessed that she’s unfazed by the infamous Strictly Curse, for Andrew is the one I see myself walking down the aisle with someday.

Over the weekend, Tasha and Aljaz danced on the stage in Blackpool, showcasing their Paso Doble routine. They earned a remarkable 39 points, placing them at the top of the leaderboard.

Yet, after fans of Strictly Come Dancing voiced worries about professional dancer Aljaz and urged him to undergo a check-up following his dance routine last week.

The pair put on an incredible performance as they danced their couple’s choice routine barefoot. 

Tasha and Aljaz were given a long, enthusiastic applause following their outstanding performance, showcasing several daring lifts.

Approaching the ever-gracious Tess Daly before the judge’s critique, my partner and I found ourselves momentarily out of breath, a testament to our excitement and anticipation for their insights.

In a two-year break, Aljaz appeared noticeably winded, as his labored breathing was audible through the microphone he wore.

Some concerned viewers watching Strictly at home expressed worry and suggested that the dancer should consult a medical professional for a check-up, sharing their thoughts on what was previously known as Twitter.

Sweetheart, Aljaz, it’s important that you see a doctor about your breathing issues. I’m worried that he might be at risk for a heart attack!

I’m concerned about Aljaz’s breathing… Could we please administer a Covid-19 test?

“The dance came close to causing AliJaz harm, his labored breathing is deafening; I can’t believe they didn’t mute his microphone, and the continuous loud breaths have left me distraught.

Oh my, it seems like Aljaž might need to reconsider his participation in Strictly Come Dancing if it’s causing him such breathing issues; I’ve observed this season that he appears quite winded. Perhaps he isn’t as physically fit as one would expect? Maybe it would be wise for him to consult a healthcare professional.

There was little surprise that Aljaz was out of breath after their high-energy performance, as it earned them an impressive total of 39 points from the judges, tying them for first place on the leaderboard with JLS member JG Gill and his partner Lauren Oakley.
