Tasha Ghouri breaks silence after Andrew Le Page split as she moves on with Strictly tour

Strictly Come Dancing finalist Tasha Ghouri has spoken for the first time since her shock split from boyfriend Andrew Le Page as she admitted she is focusing on the Strictly tour

Love Island star Tasha Ghouri has broken her silence following her shock split from boyfriend Andrew Le Page.

They had been going strong since they left the villa in 2022 and even sparked engagement rumours, yet this week it was confirmed they had called time on their romance. Tasha competed on the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing and is gearing up to head out on the UK tour this week. She was paired with professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec and reached the 2024 final.

The pair have reunited for the tour as Tasha revealed to the Mirror she is focusing on having a laugh with her Strictly pals, marking her first interview since her split. She also has the support of her friends and family as they are set to watch her perform in front of thousands. Opening up on how her life has changed since taking part in the BBC dance competition, Tasha told us: "Honestly I have had the best time on Strictly.

"Doing the Strictly tour in front of thousands of people, I cannot wait to do that. Just have fun and smile and connect with people. That’s what I really love doing and to get to dance with Aljaz again and all the other pros. It is really magical and I can’t wait to dance again."

Tasha revealed there is a group chat with all the other celebrities and they were sure to keep in touch in between the series ending and the start of the tour. Sharing how she is finding being on the road so far, Tasha revealed: "The tour is great. We are all having such a laugh. We play ping pong. It’s so fun. It’s really nice to be able to spend time and just enjoy it."

However, the reality TV star did admit she is anxious about performing in some of the UK's biggest arenas. She said: "Definitely going to be nervous at first. It is going to be a bit scary everyone sat here and the uproar of the audience cheering. But I think it is going to be so special."

Reflecting on her Strictly journey, Tasha admitted one thing was her favourite. "The dancing," she said. "It has been about the dancing. For me, it’s all I wanted to do was to be able to learn these amazing styles and just perform to people and connect to people at home."

Tasha, 26, and Andrew, 29, are said to have quietly split earlier this month and she has since set up a dating app profile. The TV star has reportedly joined exclusive app Raya and included photos that she had previously shared on Instagram in December. Tasha had previously called Andrew her "future husband" and insisted she wasn't worried about the infamous Strictly curse.

In December, Tasha was asked if a proposal could be coming as she told OK!: "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." When asked if he was 'The One', she quipped: "Absolutely. I wouldn’t be with him otherwise. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend."
