Tasha Ghouri cheekily joins Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo in breaking Buckingham Palace rules as she poses on the Grand Staircase after THAT eyebrow-raising video
Tasha Ghouri has joined Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo in breaking Buckingham Palace rules on Wednesday as she shared photos from the King's Trust Awards.
Former Made In Chelsea stars Jamie, 36, and Sophie, 30, raised eyebrows when they cheekily filmed themselves on the Grand Staircase at the Palace, which has been traversed by Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses.
The married couple - who are expecting their first baby together - filmed themselves recreating Harry and Meghan's famous 'Baby Mama' dance in the heart of the royal residence.
The cheeky video came as a breach of Palace rules as guests were asked not to use their cameras inside Buckingham Palace during the star-studded King's Trust event.
And now, Love Island star Tasha, 26, has joined in with the apparent rule-breaking antics as she too took to Instagram to share photographs of herself on the historic staircase.
Leaning on the banister, Tasha beamed as she looked up at the historic artwork while posing for photos as she ascended the incredible staircase.
The Strictly star didn't mention the rule break in her caption but simply gushed over meeting King Charles at the charity event.
She penned: 'A lovely day yesterday with His Majesty, King Charles and had the honour of meeting the individuals who have achieved incredible things being a part of the @kingstrust programme! Today we celebrate you all!'
On Wednesday, Jamie and Sophie had revealed they bent the rules by cheekily filming on the royal staircase - prompting a surprising response from officials.
The couple recreated Harry and Meghan's by now infamous 'Baby Mama' dance, but it is unclear whether it was a dig at the former royals.
Four years ago, they sparked huge debate after the Duchess of Sussex posted a video on Instagram of them doing the viral craze four years ago in the delivery suite shortly before she gave birth to their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Seemingly channeling the couple with their own video, Jamie wrote: 'They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace.'
While the moment was most definitely a breach in protocol and could have sparked a royal meltdown, palace aides fortunately found the funny side.
Its official Instagram account 'theroyalfamily' replied to the post, saying: 'We see you' accompanied by a pair of eyes and a wink emojis.
Guests were asked not to photograph on the Grand Staircase, which was built for Queen Victoria, and breaking the rule, Tasha leaned on the banister looking up at the historic artwork
The King's Trust entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: 'All of our attendees are very well behaved' with the same look and a laughing emoji.
However, p resenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, said: 'You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings.'
Proof that no offence was taken, a palace aide told the Mail: 'I'm sure it was done in a spirit of fun, and of course aligned to Jamie's wonderful support for The King's Trust Awards - even if it's not something we would greatly encourage every guest to attempt.'
Referring to 'theroyalfamily' account's official response, they added most definitely with tongue-in-cheek: 'Proof that from time to time the Royal Family account has a sense of humour too.
'As for Jamie, may we recommend a visit to the Tower of London. Hashtag Winkyfacelolz.'
The King's Trust was set up by King Charles when he was Prince of Wales in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people get back into education, work and training.
It has since gone on to help more than one million young people and is considered one of the biggest and most effective charities of its kind in the country.
It comes after MailOnline exclusively revealed that Tasha is in a new romance with a CBBC presenter.
While the moment was most definitely a breach in protocol and could have sparked a royal meltdown, palace aides fortunately found the funny side
The reality star fell victim to the Strictly curse in January, splitting from long-term partner Andrew Le Page, 30, just weeks after she finished runner-up on the show.
But now, four months after their breakup, Tasha has moved on with YouTuber Cam Whitnall, 29, who stars in CBBC series One Zoo Three and BBC show OZT Goes Wild alongside his brothers Ty and Aaron.
Cam, whose family run Hertfordshire Zoo, is the managing director of a non-profit charity, The Big Cat Sanctuary, which rescues wild cats and protects species at risk of extinction.
The influencer boasts an enormous following on both YouTube and TikTok thanks to his insightful videos showing a range of animals in their natural habitats.
MailOnline understands the new couple have bonded over their love for animals after Tasha rescued her dog, Luna, who she previously shared with Andrew, from Spanish charity Alora Dog Rescue and Homeward Bound.
Tasha has been single since January when she joined dating app Raya shortly after her split from Andrew, who she had been in a relationship with for over two years.
The couple met on Love Island in 2022 and went onto purchase a house together which they were renovating before going their separate ways.

Trans books for toddlers are an outrage
But let's move away from the brazen attempts to brainwash little children for just a moment and settle down in the story corner for today's educational tale (with apologies to Eric Carle), The Very Publicity-Hungry Campaigner. One day a tiny and very publicity-hungry campaigner, who wanted to be a big deal, hatched a plan to recruit pre-school allies. He had guessed, quite rightly, that toddlers were the only demographic likely to believe his guff that anyone can change sex if they just pop on a frock and get furious about pronouns. On the first day, The Very Publicity-Hungry Campaigner gobbled up one publishing deal. On the second day he wrote two books explaining that girls who play with trains are probably boys and boys who like pink should be taken to a doctor and diagnosed as transgender. On the third day, The Very Publicity-Hungry Campaigner bullied women writers who did not agree with his crackpot notions. On the fourth day he slapped a great big Stonewall Award sticker on a book about a sister becoming a brother. On the fifth day, he ate a wheelbarrow of oranges and threatened to cancel anyone who said they were not the only fruit. Then on the sixth day, he disseminated a library of kids' books in which gender transitioning turned out to be the twinkly secret of a happy-ever-after. On the seventh day, he devoured every last scrap of bonkers gender ideology he could find and disappeared off to digest it. Some time later, The Very Publicity-Hungry Campaigner emerged looking like an extra from RuPaul's Drag Race and announced he was now a biological woman. The Very Publicity-Hungry Campaigner banged on about his lived experience (of about a week). It was tempting to get very cross indeed. But then the Supreme Court decided that references to 'sex', 'man' and 'woman' in the Equality Act referred to biological sex and after that, nobody cared what he said, safe in the knowledge it was now illegal for him to manspread in the ladies' changing room or beat women to a pulp in the Olympics. The End. If only it were. I thought we were done with all this nonsense – Martine Croxall we salute your eye roll at the witless term 'pregnant people' – and I for one have no desire to give Very Publicity-Hungry Campaigners any more of the attention they so desperately crave. Fighting dirty But new research into the publishing industry carried out by UK pressure group Sex Matters and its US equivalent, SEEN in Publishing, has revealed that a 'shiny, sparkly world of trans identities' is being promoted to young readers, with 'many aimed at toddlers'. Now that really is fighting so dirty I have to speak up: how dare publishers literally mess with little children's minds in this way? Here in north London having two mums is commonplace, two dads is no biggie; small kids aren't that interested in their parents' sexual preferences, they are interested in being loved, nurtured and protected. Growing up is hard enough work, which is why it's utterly immoral to draw toddlers, who haven't even mastered the potty, into the adult world of human identity politics. What next? Assisted dying and late-stage abortion? At this age, most of our collective offspring still believe Paw Patrol is real and the moon follows them home, for pity's sake. Sowing the seeds of doubt about their biological sex is outrageous, indefensible and, let's be honest, exceedingly creepy. Let our littlest citizens learn tolerance, fairness (yes even to women) kindness (ditto) and consideration. But they also deserve to know they have the right to ask questions and press for answers – anathema to the militant trans lobby who prefer to shut everyone down in case they bring up uncomfortable truths like biology. This new audit of the publishing industry found that of 21 publishers surveyed, a fifth of their output on transgender-related products was targeted at children, leading the report to raise concerns that the message in the early-reader books was often that becoming transgender will 'resolve bodily hatred and create enduring joy in the form of 'trans euphoria''. Crikey, if that were the case we'd all be at it. But it's not. Take a look at the shouty trans forums online and I've got to say that enduring joy doesn't feature nearly as often as spittle-flecked misogyny.

Janet Ellis: ‘I thought my travels were over when my husband died'
Janet Ellis, 69, is a TV presenter, actress and writer best known for presenting Blue Peter and starring in Doctor Who alongside Tom Baker'. She lived in Chatham, Kent, until she was four before moving to Germany when her soldier father was posted there. She has three children: the singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, 46, from her first marriage to the director and producer Robin Bextor, and Jackson, 37, and Martha, 34, from her marriage to the TV producer John Leach, who died of cancer in 2020. Ellis lives in west London with her grandson Sonny, 21, the son of Ellis-Bextor and her musician husband, Richard Jones. I went to some incredible places with Blue Peter in my twenties and, having spent much of my childhood in Germany, it was great to explore the British Isles. I remember filming at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, where the last descendant of the family who had lived there for decades was moving out and the National Trust was taking over. He lived in a tiny kitchen-bedsit set-up and the rest of the house looked frozen in time: board games mid-play, stuffed animals, pressed butterflies — it was extraordinary. My first long-haul trip was to the Sri Lankan capital Colombo in 1984. I was so excited that I didn't sleep on the flight, then I had just 90 minutes after landing before interviewing the prime minister. I fell asleep on arrival in my room and woke up feeling like my head was filled with Polyfilla. John and I adored Japan and went there four times. Every time we'd start in Tokyo then visit different places. On our last trip there, in 2017, we walked the Kiso Valley, between Kyoto and Tokyo. It was breathtaking, but not the flat — like much of the terrain — and disused railway track I'd imagined. We stayed in a ryokan — traditional inns where dinner is served at 6pm and there's nothing to do afterwards. It's hard to eat badly in Japan, though sushi and sashimi are more of a dinner thing; lunch is mostly noodle-based. In Kyoto we stayed at the Screen, a sweet little hotel. It's a university city so everyone rides bikes and the skyline isn't as intense as that of Tokyo. We went to our first onsen — the single-sex, communal, naked bathing in hot springs — on an island off Hiroshima. I had to return John's passport after he died and it was so hard; all those memories of the trips we'd taken together. Sophie actually came with us on our honeymoon, to Bali in 1988. We left Jack as he was coming up to a year and John's mum looked after him, but I don't think it occurred to us not to bring Sophie, so thank you, John. We had a lovely time. • 14 of the best places to visit in Japan John and I spent lots of time in Italy too. Sophie has a house in Puglia, where we've holidayed the last four Augusts. I fell for Sicily after Martha, my daughter, returned from a trip there as part of her history of art degree. There was a lot she hadn't seen and she wanted us to take her back, which we did twice. I particularly love the southern towns — further on from Noto and Ragusa — that survived the 1693 earthquake. They were built in baroque style, so they're very beautiful, with a gorgeous coastline and fantastic food. After John's cancer diagnosis — but absolutely not because of it — we bought a tiny house in Modica, in southeast Sicily. After he died in 2020 the kids were really keen for me to go back there and took me. I felt the sensation that he knew I'd return without him. The house holds so many memories, which is lovely, but I'm not aiming to spend time alone there; I like having someone to play with. My favourite pastime abroad is visiting hardware stores, supermarkets and chemists. I can easily spend days doing very little apart from going for a stroll to buy a brilliant little kitchen knife for pennies. After John's death I believed that my long-haul travelling days were over, unless the kids invited me somewhere. It's fairly easy to find friends for a weekend trip, but it's difficult aligning diaries for longer breaks when you don't have a partner. So when I was invited to join a Just You group tour to South Africa last year I was apprehensive. It was my first solo trip, but everyone was in a similar position — widowed, divorced or single — and hearing that everyone was nervous was incredibly bonding. My instinct when I arrive anywhere is to message John and show him where I am — I don't suppose that will ever stop. • 15 of the best South Africa holidays and tours The trip was a good spread, through the country from Cape Town to Johannesburg, like a geography textbook brought to life. I was fascinated to learn about the 17th-century Dutch settlers, who brought everything they owned on their backs, seeking fertile land. We went on safari at Featherbed Nature Reserve and Kruger [National Park], spotting the big five and, even better, the little five, all hoping not to get eaten.
