STRICTLY Come Dancing finalist Tasha Ghouri was forced to watch from the cheap seats as her co-star won a Bafta TV award.
The snubbed Love Islander missed out on a top ticket to the event, which honoured Chris McCausland with TV moment of the year.

Instead, model Tasha was a guest of P&O Cruises and sat with professional Strictly dancer Vito Coppola on the upper balcony.
The 26-year-old cheered as the clip played of the show's first blind contestant waltzing to You'll Never Walk Alone with dance partner Dianne Buswell.
Tasha had her fingers crossed as she waited with baited breath for the result to be announced - and fought back tears when Chris won the prestigious gong.
She and Vito proudly yelled out in support of Strictly - who was up against tough competition from the wedding scene in Gavin and Stacey and Rivals' naked tennis.
Dianne took to the stage to accept the publicly-voted P&O Crusies Memorable Moment award without Chris, who wasn't able to attend the awards do.
After the ceremony, she joined a host of telly stars invited to enjoy a slap-up three-course meal, while Tasha went to a drinks reception on another floor.
She met up with fellow Strictly star JB Gill who turned up to the after-party while Bafta guests dined downstairs.
Tasha called it the "most gorgeous catch up" as they cheersed to Strictly's success.
She said: "First TV @bafta with @pandocruises such a lovely evening celebrating talent in the TV industry, so so inspiring."
Meanwhile Chris posted on X about his Bafta award: "Oh my goodness. Me and Dianne only just went and won a f***ing Bafta didn't we.
"Thank you so much to everybody that voted!"
