Tasha Ghouri finally speaks out on Strictly controversy with 7-word statement
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island star, and author Tasha Ghouri has opened up about her time on the BBC ballroom dancing show and why she's still proud to represent the deaf community Love Island bombshell and now TV personality, campaigner and author, Tasha Ghouri is going from strength to strength. After finishing second in Strictly Come Dancing last year, the inspiring reality star launched her book, Your Superpower, in February, detailing the hurdles she battled to get where she is now. Tasha, who was born deaf and has a cochlear implant, tells OK! she 'still faces difficulties' when it comes to her deafness. But in the spirit she's embraced everything so far in her career, the 26-year-old from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, won't let it stop her. Here, Tasha – whose split from Andrew Le Page was confirmed by her ex in February– tells us about being a celebrity ambassador for Make-A-Wish and Disney, where she lent her support to A Disney Wish UK – a three-day experience at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire that brought the magic of Disney to more than 200 children living with critical illness. READ MORE: 'I'm a shopping writer and River Island's summer maxi is my ultimate payday suggestion for May' She also looks back at her unforgettable Strictly journey, partnered with Aljaž Škorjanec, and her pride at representing the deaf community... Hi, Tasha! You've partnered with Disney and Make-A-Wish – can you tell us more? The work they do is incredible. They're a great charity, providing magical, beautiful experiences for all these families. I felt so honoured to be a part of that, to just make them happy, make them go away with these beautiful memories. It was so emotional and magical– I look back on it and just feel grateful to be part of that. You've talked about facing discrimination for being deaf. Do you still face that? Yeah, I do still face difficulties today, but, you know, it doesn't compare at all to that these children go through every single day. Everyone has their own difficulties, dealing with disabilities and illnesses, but these children live in a hospital, and for Make-A-Wish to provide an experience where it's all accessible, they can travel and they look after them. It's so important to have that in the world, because the world can be so sad and scary sometimes. It's nice to have that positive light in their lives. Now that the dust has settled, how do you look back at your time on Strictly? To make it to the final was just the dream-come-true. That TV show was just the biggest dream of mine since I was a kid, and to say that I made it to the final and I did the tour, the whole experience, is a pinch-me moment for sure. You've always said you adore dancing. Was this the perfect show for you? Oh yes, dance is my biggest passion. It was the perfect show for me. I was dancing and having the time of my life and making new friends. I look back with such fond memories of the cast, Strictly really is magic. I'm so excited to see the new cast this year. Honestly, the people doing it are going to love it. They're in for a treat. There's been controversy around celebrity welfare on Strictly. How did you find it? My experience on Strictly was really positive. I had the best time. I look back with pure happiness and joy, because I just loved every single second. Do you have any exciting work projects coming up? I want to keep doing charity work, be a real advocate for the deaf community and work with charities like Make-A-Wish. These are the things I'm passionate about, I want to help people when I can. That's what is really important to me. Is there any more fun TV stuff you're working on? I don't know yet, but the future looks bright. I want to do more presenting and documentaries. I've done a few TV appearances that are coming out soon, but I want to push myself and challenge myself in that direction this year.

Strictly's Tasha Ghouri says 'future looks bright' as she shares career update
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri has hinted at her plans for the future as she embarks on a new career path. The former Love Island star had a whirlwind few months, making it to the Strictly final last December, only to be narrowly beaten to the top spot in the final by stand-up comedian Chris McCausland and his dance partner, Dianne Buswell. After shooting to fame in Love Island in 2022, she walked away from the show finishing in fourth place alongside Andrew Le Page. But, much to the shock of their social media followers, it was revealed earlier this year that the reality TV stars had brought their relationship to an end. (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Despite the recent upheavals, Tasha is optimistic about the future and eager to challenge herself. Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "I don't really know, the future looks bright. I want to do more presenting and documentaries." She continued: "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." (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Away from television, the 26-year-old has been dedicating her time to charity work, supporting organisations such as NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society), RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People), and Deaf Kidz International. These charities hold special significance for Tasha, who was diagnosed as deaf shortly after birth. Shortly before her fifth birthday, the Strictly star received a cochlear implant to help with hearing by stimulating the auditory nerve electrically. (Image: undefined via Getty Images) The ex-Love Island contestant has recently shown her support for a partnership between Disney and the Make A Wish foundation. As the celebrity ambassador, she was present during their enchanting Disney Wish event at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire. During this three-day event, children with serious illnesses were given the chance to interact with beloved characters alongside Tasha who was there to greet the youngsters and their families. Reflecting on the experience with the kids, Tasha expressed it "was such a beautiful, magical day, that I look back on and feel grateful to be part of".
