Love Island favourites Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page have reportedly ended their relationship. The pair, who found love on the hit reality show in 2022 and were even rumoured to be heading towards engagement, have decided to part ways.
Tasha, who recently competed in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing and is preparing for the UK tour, was a finalist in the 2024 season alongside her dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec. Now 26, Tasha, and Andrew, aged 29, are understood to have split quietly earlier this month, with Tasha apparently already on the exclusive dating app Raya, showcasing photos she had shared on Instagram in December.
“Tasha was madly in love with Andrew but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly,” an insider disclosed to the Sun. “She gave her all in that competition. Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz and that drove a wedge between them as time went by.”

It seems the distance will grow as Tasha joins the Strictly tour, with reports suggesting the couple considered ending things at the beginning of January. The source mentioned they “hit a rocky patch”. Despite previously referring to Andrew as her “future husband” and dismissing concerns about the so-called Strictly curse, it appears the couple couldn’t overcome their issues, reports the Mirror.
Before hitting the dance floor on BBC Strictly Come Dancing, Tasha gushed to The Sun about her partner Andrew: “Andrew, to me, is the hottest man on this whole planet. I look at him and I’m like: ‘Yeah, that’s my man’. Me and Andrew trust each other 100 per cent.”
Confident in their strong bond, she continued: “It’s not a make-or-break for us. We’re going to breeze through this because we’re going to marry each other one day, you know.”

Born deaf and fitted with a cochlear implant when she was five, Tasha also enjoyed a double date with her dance associate Alijaz and his spouse Janette Manrara. As festive speculations rose, Tasha told OK! Magazine in December regarding a potential proposal: “That’s a question for Andrew! But of course, there is no one else for me and Andrew is who I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
Confirming her commitment, she remarked on Andrew being ‘The One’: “Absolutely. I wouldn’t be with him otherwise. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend.”
However, previously they had faced challenges when a significant cheating scandal surfaced during their time on Love Island. Both were tempted during the Casa Amor segment of the show. Andrew developed a close relationship with influencer Coco Lodge, leading to one of the most memorable moments in the history of the dating programme.
Despite being coupled up with Tasha, he ‘explored’ his connection with Coco while Tasha was away from the main villa, with the pair becoming intimate under the covers. Upon Tasha’s return, Andrew confessed everything, admitting that he had “licked her t** or whatever”, fearing exposure by one of his outspoken friends.
The Mirror has reached out to representatives for Tasha and Andrew for comment.
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Sunday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
