BBC Strictly Come Dancing star 'getting married' as she gushes over boyfriend after support spotted
Tasha Ghouri has joked she's having a Strictly Come Dancing 'wedding' as she gushed over her boyfriend Andrew Le Page after his support in the ballroom was spotted during the first live show.
The former Love Island star was seen performing with her professional dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec - who has returnedto the show after a two-year hiatus - for the first time during week one of the BBC One dance contest on Saturday night (September 21).
The pair were given 30 points from the Strictly judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke - following their performance, the cha cha to Sabrina Carpenter’s number one hit Espresso.
The reality star, who was Love Island's first deaf participant, appeared on top of a giant coffee cup as she began her performance with Aljaz, who was heard saying in their opening VT that it was a "beautiful moment" to see Tasha take off her cochlear implant towards the end of the dance and "just feel one another and just dance together".
But as Tasha impressed on the dancefloor, some Strictly viewers couldn't help her besotted boyfriend, who she met on the ITV2 dating show Love Island in 2022, supporting his partner in the live audience, giving her his own standing ovation.
Appearing on It Takes Two on Tuesday (September 24) to discuss their first performance and share how training for week two has been going so far, co-host Fleur East mentioned Andrew, which made Tasha beam.
"He's just so supportive in everything I do and he knows how much this really means to me," she said of her beau. "That's my future husband right there. He's so amazing and I love him to pieces." Fleur then commented: "They're getting married," to which Aljaz quipped: "I want to be there." Tasha then joked: "Strictly wedding, let's go."
Ahead of her first performance, Tasha was heard talking about Andrew and how the intensity of the show won't come between them. The 26-year-old told The Sun newspaper: "Andrew, to me, is the hottest man on this whole planet.
"I look at him and I'm like: 'Yeah, that's my man!' 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."
