Strictly's Tasha Ghouri says 'future looks bright' as she carves out new career
After making it all the way to the Strictly Come Dancing final last year, Tasha now has her sights set on something new as she revealed that the "future looks bright"
Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri has revealed the "future looks bright" as she has opened up about taking a new path in her career.
It has been a rollercoaster few months for the former Love Island star after she made it all the way to the Strictly Come Dancing final last December before being pipped to top spot by stand-up comedian, Chris McCausland.
Meanwhile, not long after her success on the show, her relationship with Andrew Le Page came to an end, with the news of the break-up coming as a shock to their social media followers.
But, away from the latest goings-on in her life, Tasha recently explained that, while she isn't entirely certain what the future holds, she is eager to "push" herself in the months ahead.
She told the Mirror: "I don't really know, the future looks bright. I want to do more presenting and documentaries."
She added: "That's the path I want to go down. I've done quite a few TV appearances that are coming out soon but I think I kind of want to push myself and challenge myself this year."
Away from her latest TV exploits, the 26-year-old has also dedicated much of her time to charity, lending support to the likes of NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society), RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People), and Deaf Kidz International.
The charities hold a particularly important place in her heart after she herself was diagnosed as deaf shortly after being born.
Prior to her fifth birthday, the Strictly star was fitted with a cochlear implant which helps people hear by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve.
More recently, the former Love Islander has lent her support to a recent collaboration between Disney and the Make A Wish charity. The star appeared as the celebrity ambassador during their Disney Wish event at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire.
Over the course of three days, children with serious illnesses had the opportunity to meet and spend time with some of their favourite characters, as well as Tasha who was on hand to meet them and their families at the event.
Looking back on her time spent with the children at the event, Tasha said that it "was such a beautiful, magical day, that I look back on and feel grateful to be part of".

BGT's Ant and Dec forced to apologise over Bruno Tonioli's X-rated comment
Britain's Got Talent descended into chaos during its final episode of the series as judge Bruno Tonioli made a rude comment live on air. Hosts Ant and Dec scrambled to apologise for the former Strictly Come Dancing star on the live final. The judges gave their feedback after comedian Joseph Charm's performance, which had left the audience in stitches. At the end of the routine, Bruno was full of praise and got a bit carried away. The routine was performed before the 9pm watershed, which means swearing is not permitted. However, he quipped: "We were just p***ing..." before pausing and correcting himself. He apologised before explaining the judges had found his routine funny. Dec even had to add another apology to viewers as he said: "Apologies if you were offended by Bruno's slip of the tongue there." Despite the stars rushing to apologise, it seemed viewers at home were rather entertained by the moment. One said :"I'm sorry but Bruno swearing on Britains Got Talent has got me in stitches even 15 minutes after, so funny." Another added: "I'm not offended by Bruno saying p***ing, I am irritated by him constantly shouting and jumping his feet all the time!" Someone else commented: "Dec apologising for Bruno," followed by laughing crying emojis.

She kept her accessories minimal, wearing a beaded bracelet and silver earrings, while her highlighted hair was styled in beachy waves. A dewy makeup look finished off the ensemble, which she simply captioned: 'Me in a dress.' Zara's just returned from another getaway - this time to Costa Rica with her boyfriend Louis Tomlinson, 33. The One Direction star and reality beauty couldn't keep their hands off each other on a sun-soaked day out. They were spotted hiring a quad bike, with Louis taking the lead as they cruised through town. The History singer wore an orrange T-shirt and white shorts, which he teamed with black sunglasses and a baseball cap. Zara stunned in loose white trousers and a crop top layered over her green bikini. At one point Louis puffed on a cigarette while they waited for their ride, with a smitten Zara wrapping her arms around him. Louis returned the affection by gently squeezing her bum and planting a kiss. They were later seen grinning at each other before hopping on the quad bike and driving away. Louis flew the Strictly star out in first class to a secluded villa last week. He's currently working on new music there and wanted to spend some quality time with Zara after going public with their romance. She was previously seen locking lips with her new pop star beau as they dined at a restaurant. A source said: 'Louis and Zara are going from strength to strength. Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott look loved up as they are spotted on holiday in Costa Rica 'He got his team to organise her first-class travel from London to Costa Rica. 'It meant Zara was unable to attend the TV Baftas but she is keen to spend as much time with Louis as possible." Louis will be back in the UK for Soccer Aid next week and is set to play on the England side with Zara's ex Sam Thompson. Zara split from former Made In Chelsea star Sam in January, moving out of Sam's West London home, and leaving behind the two cats they shared. She has decided to skip Soccer Aid to avoid an awkward run-in with her ex. Zara and Louis confirmed their romance on holiday in Los Angeles over a month ago. The pair were snapped holding hands in a sweet PDA during their trip to the US. The Sun revealed they were an item after they were spotted enjoying an overnight stay at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh in exclusive photos. It came amid reports that Zara had formed close bonds with Louis' sisters Phoebe and Daisy. They recently teased a new reality show, with sources claiming Zara has been helping them behind the scenes thanks to her experience as a TV presenter and documentary maker. 5 Love Island star Zara looked radiant in the figure-hugging maxi dress Credit: Instagram 5 It featured floral detailing around the neckline and a dramatic ruffled skirt Credit: Instagram 5 She shared the snaps to Instagram on Friday Credit: Instagram
