What was Tasha Ghouri’s job before Love Island?

Tasha is a dancer and a model, having previously gone viral in 2021 for appearing in an ASOS campaign wearing her cochlear implant in an ad for earrings.

She’s even appeared in a music video for pop star MNEK’s track with Sleepwalkrs ‘More Than Words’.

The poignant 2020 music video was a celebration of the deaf community, with all of the dancers featured being deaf.

Speaking about her appearance in the music video ahead of entering the villa, Tasha said: “That was my first major music video. Surprisingly enough it was about him celebrating the deaf community. It was such a great, exciting opportunity."

Who are Tasha Ghouri’s famous ex-boyfriends?

Tasha is said to have dated Too Hot To Handle star Robert Van Tromp just a few months before heading into the villa.

According to this tabloid, the stars met in October 2021 and dated for five months.

A source told the publication that the Netflix star was ‘gutted after seeing Tasha on Love Island’, adding: “She ticks all his boxes and he had hoped to reconnect with her after regretting their breakup.

"Tasha is the one that got away and he believes he let a gem go, watching her on the show this summer won't be easy for him."

Tasha also reportedly briefly dated Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice just a month after he won the show with Rose Ailing-Ellis. Tasha is set to star on Strictly later in 2024, but luckily her ex Giovanni isn't taking part in the new series.

Giovanni and Tasha are said to have met via Instagram DMs, and enjoyed a string of dates before his busy tour schedule led to their romance fizzling out.

A source told this tabloid: “Giovanni was persistent when it came to Tasha. They have a lot in common, both being dancers and he had just learned a lot about the deaf community performing with Rose on Strictly, who Tasha really admires.

“Tasha was impressed by how gentlemanly he was, taking her out to top London restaurants and offering to send cars to collect her, but she's independent and always made her own way to see him.

“Their romance didn't progress because Giovanni was travelling a lot with the Strictly tour and Tasha was already involved with someone else.”

Giovanni also previously dated Love Island star Maura Higgins for a few months in 2021.
