TV star Tasha Ghouri had insisted she and Andrew Le Page would “breeze through” her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

But heartbreakingly they’ve split just four months since then. Now, Tasha, 26, has reportedly joined exclusive dating app Raya and included photos she had previously shared on Instagram in December.

It jars with the TV star’s bold statement before she took part in Strictly Come Dancing. Before it started, she had said: “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.”

The sudden collapse of the romance has rocked fans across social media. Tasha, from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, is set to head out on Strictly’s UK tour this week after reaching the 2024 final with professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec.

And the Strictly “curse” has seemingly hit again – the programme has gained a wild reputation as it has been blamed in playing a hand in couples breaking up and others lighting up.

In her comment to the press before her time on the programme, TV personality Tasha had stressed she was going to marry Andrew, whom she met on Love Island in 2022.

And, just last month after the series finished, 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.”

But then the relationship “hit a rocky patch” and it has led to the split, The Sun reports. A source told the publication: “Tasha was madly in love with Andrew but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly. 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.”

Tasha, who was born deaf and received a cochlear implant at the age of five, reached the final of Strictly, losing to comedian Chris McCausland. Both he and pro dance partner Dianne Buswell burst into tears when the result was declared live on the BBC. Chris, from Liverpool, said: “It’s astonishing, I don’t know what to say. I thought I would go out in the first week or two. We have lasted and lasted and she has got so much out of me, she deserves this so much.”
