Love Island's Tasha Ghouri: Strictly dreams and dancing with a cochlear implant

THERE'S no denying Strictly Come Dancing has been weathering the toughest challenge of its 20-year existence.

The much-loved BBC1 show has been thrown into turmoil over the controversy surrounding the behaviour of some of its professional dancers, including Giovanni Pernice, who denies any wrong doing, as well as Graziano Di Prima, who has been sacked and is said to be suing the channel for unfair dismissal.

Insiders have claimed that the ripple effect of the scandal meant female celebrities were reluctant to sign up for this year’s show, with only six women in the line-up – its lowest number ever.

But despite counting Giovanni as an ex, Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri says she jumped at the chance to be involved in this year’s series.

In fact, the 26 year old has been “manifesting” a spot on the show since leaving the villa in 2022, even writing numerous times in her notes app on her phone: “I will be on Strictly Come Dancing in 2024 or 2025.”
