Tasha Ghouri has intense phone conversation after split from Andrew on shopping trip with Strictly’s Aljaz Skorjanec
TASHA Ghouri has been spotted having an intense phone conversation after her split from Andrew, on a shopping trip with her Strictly partner, Aljaž Škorjanec.
This week, Tasha was the latest star to be hit by the Strictly curse – after splitting from her boyfriend Andrew Le Page.
Pals said Tasha, 26, and Andrew, 29, who started dating after meeting on Love Island in 2022, quietly split earlier this month.
She has since set up a profile on celebrity dating app Raya – and included pictures of herself from her Instagram account which she originally posted on December 19.
Now, Tasha has been spotted locked in an intense chat after the split was revealed.
Standing in front of her dance partner on an escalator, Tasha was spotted in a fluffy beige jacket with an alo black cap on.
She kept her look casual in black leggings and appeared deep in concentration during her phone call.
Meanwhile Aljaz stood a few steps behind her as she chatted away/
The pair were returning to their hotel after a day of rehearsals for the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.
It comes after a source said: “Tasha was madly in love with Andrew but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly.
“She gave her all in that competition. Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz and that drove a wedge between them as time went by.
“Now she’s going off on tour she’s going to be away from Andrew again.
“They talked about ending their relationship at the start of January and she’s heading out on the Strictly tour as a single woman.”
A friend close to Tasha confirmed the pair had “hit a rocky patch” and said they had broken up.
Tasha’s Raya profile describes herself as a “Northern girly” who is “always smiling and laughing”.
Strictly Curse - The Lowdown
STRICTLY Come Dancing's latest series has already been hit by rumours of a BBC show 'curse' - yet what is it?
A host of Strictly Come Dancing stars have been struck by the Strictly Curse during the past two decades.
This is where celebrities who may or may not be attached in the outside world become more than friends with their professional partners.
A total of 20 relationships are said to have been impacted so far over the show’s 20 years.
It has seen relationships crumble with dance floor romances and punishing rehearsal schedules to blame.
This includes the partnerships of Louise and Jamie Redknapp as well as Kevin Clifton and Karen Hauer.
Controversially, Judge Craig Revel Horwood once said of the curse: “I think of it as a blessing, to be honest. One person is married, the other one had a girlfriend but my point in this entire thing is: if you come on Strictly, sometimes you are in a relationship that is not working anyway.
“There has to be something wrong in your relationship before it all goes awry.”
Series one winner Brendan Cole left his fiancé, fellow Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup, during filming for the very first series in spring 2004.
Brendan was said to have fallen for his celebrity partner and inaugural winner Natasha Kaplinsky, although the duo didn’t confirm they were romantically involved.
She uploaded new photographs of herself in a red dress which she posted on Instagram in December with the caption: “Christmas party.”
Before appearing on Strictly last year, Tasha told The Sun she wasn’t worried about the show’s curse – which has seen a number of the contestants splitting from their other halves over the show’s 20-year run.
She said in September last year: “Andrew, to me, is the hottest man on this whole planet.
“Me and Andrew trust each other 100 per cent.
“It’s not a make-or-break for us. We’re going to breeze through this because we’re going to marry each other one day, you know?
“It doesn’t bother us at all. We didn’t have a discussion about ‘the Strictly curse’ because we trust each other.
“It doesn’t play on our mind.”
On January 1, Tasha posted love hearts on a photograph shared on Instagram by Andrew with the caption: “2025 let’s get it.”
Tasha will take to the dancefloor on the Strictly live shows for the first time on Friday at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena.
She is paired with Aljaz, who is married to former Strictly pro Janette Manrara.
Estate agent Andrew and model Tasha were firm favourites on Love Island after they fell for each other in series eight.
She made history as the first ever deaf contestant to appear on the hit ITV show.
The pair moved in together in London just weeks after leaving the show and in February last year bought a new house together which they had been renovating.
