Love Island's Tasha Ghouri celebrates new man's milestone birthday after Andrew Le Page split
Former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri shared a sweet message with her new man as he celebrated turning 30 days after the duo made their new relationship public Love is back in the air for Tasha Ghouri following her break up from former Love Island flame Andrew Le Page. And she has sent her new man a sweet compliment as he celebrates turning 30 years old. The Strictly runner-up, 26, took to social media to share a gushing post in his honour. She had recently gone public with her relationship with YouTuber Cam Whitnall. Now, the big cat lover shared an image of himself smiling behind two big balloons showing his age. He wrote on the post for his milestone birthday: "Life at 30. Still wild. Just slightly more endangered. Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday messages everyone! Grateful for the people, places and wild moments that have shaped the last three decades. "Here's to the next 30 years… for conservation, rescue and for giving wildlife the future it deserves." Tasha sweetly responded in the comments section, referencing his love of animals and work as the managing director of The Big Cat Sanctuary. She wrote: "Happy bday dr dolittle!" And Tasha was far from the only one sending sweet birthday wished. Strictly's Karen Hauer and broadcaster Kate Lawler also sent well wishes on his post. The birthday update comes days after Tasha and Cam were spotted looking very close over the weekend. The duo were seen also holding hands on a sweet day out at Fearne Cotton's Happy Place festival at Gunnersbury Park. Tasha was wearing a short white dress with black cowgirl boots, complete with tassels. Cam donned an all back look for the occasion, while also sporting white Nike trainers. There was no hiding their connection as they walked hand in hand and wrapped their arms around each other. Previous reports say the reality TV star fell for Cam due to his drive and ambition in his career. It's thought the duo have been dating for a little over a month. Speaking to the Sun after their appearance, a source said: "She met him after moving close to where he lives and they connected on social media. They were all over each other at the Happy Place Festival where Tasha was giving a talk." They added: "Cam was in the audience and was grinning at her as she spoke with Fearne. It's clear there's a real spark between them." In recent weeks, both Andrew and Tasha have revealed their hope to "move on" from their relationship woes. In recent social media posts, the pair both expressed their wishes. In separate statements shared on their Instagram stories at the weekend, the exes also cooled any rumours of a feud.

Celebrities flock to exciting new art show celebrating women
Two emerging artists launch new exhibition raising funds for causes close to their heart A host of famous faces turned out to support an exciting art exhibition championing women. Socialite Lady Victoria Hervey, Celebrity Big Brother favourite Nicola McLean and reality star Jack Fincham all attended the show the Yield Gallery. They all raised a toast to the She Who Dares showcase, with boasts work from two of the UK's most exciting emerging artists, Fern and Danielle Tomlinson. Also there was Love Island 's Tasha Ghouri 's new squeeze, wildlife YouTuber Cam Whitnall. The pair went public with their relationship at Ferne Cotton's Happy Place Festival at the weekend and are said to have been dating a couple of months. Fern and Danielle Tomlinson welcomed the celebs to the launch of their exhibition in London. Fern's work explores modern femininity through vivid colour and cultural commentary, while Danielle brings the animal kingdom to life with expressive wildlife portraits. Both artists are using their platforms to support causes they care deeply about. Fern will donate 5% of profits from her new series to Bowel Cancer UK, following her mother's recent diagnosis. And Danielle will donate 5% of her proceeds to Big Cat Sanctuary, aligning with her long standing advocacy for animal welfare and environmental stewardship. The exhibition is now open at the gallery's Eastcastle Street location just off Oxford Street. With pieces ranging from accessible limited edition prints (£500) to major original works (£20,000), She Who Dares is designed to welcome both seasoned and first time collectors. 'It was important to us that this show didn't just celebrate powerful women in art, but also empowered those behind the scenes, artists giving back, collectors engaging with purpose, and a gallery willing to take bold curatorial risks,' says David Izzard, Founder and CEO of Yield Gallery. 'This is the kind of exhibition that defines why we do what we do.' 'It's rare to see a joint show that balances such strong individuality with shared values,' adds Lily Pritchard, Creative Manager at Yield. 'This is about two women using art to express, challenge, and give back, and it's exactly the kind of energy the art world needs right now.' Artist Danielle knows Cam through their joint interest in Big Cat Sanctuary, a non-profit wild cat charity in Kent where he is director. Cam and Tasha were spotted holding hands on out at Fearne Cotton's Happy Place festival at Gunnersbury Park. Last week Tasha confirmed she'd bagged herself a new man. Saying she was in the 'early dating stages' with someone else, she told Rylan Clark in an interview: 'We clicked straight away, like he's very ambitious, he's driven… we've just been enjoying our company and just seeing what happens really.'

Davina McCall says 'I'm not afraid of dying' after brain tumour operation
The TV presenter had a realisation upon waking up from her operation. Davina McCall has opened up about overcoming a brain tumour, revealing it has transformed her outlook on life and she is "no longer afraid of dying". The TV host bravely faced surgery last year to remove a colloid cyst that posed the risk of sending her into a coma if ignored. The 57-year-old stumbled upon the tumour during a routine health check in 2023. Davina consulted with four neurosurgeons globally before deciding to undergo removal in November. Since then, she has reflected on how confronting this potential catastrophe in her head has reshaped her view on existence. She shared: "It was the best gift because I am not afraid of dying anymore. I have lived the life I wanted and I am not lying there going, 'I wish I'd done that thing. I wish I'd done that job. I wish I'd not stayed in this relationship. I haven't lived the life I want.'". "I mean, it's a really amazing place to get to, not being scared of dying. I think having no regrets and feeling like you are living fully in the life you want to be in, it's quite rare." With concerns about surviving the operation, she meticulously prepared for how her children would manage without her and discussed the situation with her partner Michael Douglas, reports the Mirror. Acknowledging that her children Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and Chester, 18, were flourishing gave the former Big Brother presenter the courage to proceed with the surgery. "I was really worried about my kids," revealed Davina, as she discussed confronting her own mortality after medics found a colloid cyst that could have left her in a coma without surgical removal. "I went forensic. I'm thinking about my children and where they were at in their life, what stage they were at. You're only as happy as your unhappiest child, right? "And I came to a realisation after about six months of cross-examining them about their life and telling them the whole time how much I've loved my life, my eldest daughter caught on. She was like, 'you are not dying'. But I realised that they would be great, they'd miss me, I want to be with them, but they would be okay. I felt like I could go to sleep on the operating table and know that they were all here to help me. But I can let go of the outcome." The podcaster's surgery last year proved entirely successful, with her recovery nothing short of extraordinary. However, as she braced herself for the procedure, it wasn't solely her children occupying her thoughts. Davina also rebuilt bridges with her stepmother and made peace with life's turbulent moments, including her battle with substance abuse. At the Happy Place Festival over the weekend, she admitted: "Part of my, 'am I okay to let go of my life?' has been to examine all of my past. "And I wouldn't change anything because without sounding arrogant, because it isn't, I love myself. I have been on a massive life journey and I've been through terrible struggles. We've been talking a lot about a calamity vitae instead of a curriculum vitae because I think when you go for a job, 'so what you learned at school?'". "It's like what have you learned at the University of Life? How many calamities have you been through? Because that's where the learning comes from. I've learned that if something really hard happens, it's a good thing. "I was like to Michael, 'If I make it through this brain surgery. It's going to be the best thing that's ever happened to me.'". "The learning that I have made in the two years since I found out about it, has been so immense and enriching in my life. I wouldn't change that for the world. But when it happened, obviously it was like another calamity coming. But do not be afraid of disasters, they will make you better." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
