BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri says 'I won't shy away' as she makes co-star admission

Tasha Ghouri has said she 'won't shy away' as she made an admission about her Strictly Come Dancing co-star's career away from the ballroom.

The former Love Island star is continuing to win over the judges and viewers week after week in the BBC One dance contest alongside her professional dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

Last weekend, during the first-ever Icons Week, in which the remaining couples performed to a song by a legendary singer or band with some even dressing up as the 'icon', Tasha performed a routine from the heart.

She and Aljaz honoured P!nk by dancing their couple's choice to What About Us, which earned her an impressive score of 39 out of a possible 40 - the joint-highest score of the night.

It was later confirmed they had made it through to week eight of the 2024 series and the pair have been back in training this week for their next performance on Saturday night (November 9) which will be a Quickstep to Fantasy by Mariah Carey.

But it appears Tasha is getting in the mood for her next routine with a little help from her co-star JB Gill - and his JLS bandmates.

Taking to social media as she headed into rehearsals, she revealed she was listening to one of the pop band's albums, Outta This World, with the track she screenshotted being 'That's My Girl' before sharing it to her Instagram Story.

Alongside the post she said: "This morning's listen has me like [dancing man emojis]. I won't shy away from the fact that I am a JLS stan @jbgill," before adding a crying laughing emoji and a heart icon. JB then reshared the post with his own followers and said: "Love to see it," with a flame and face surrounded by hearts emojis before adding his trademark yellow touch with a heart icon.

Earlier this week, Tasha gave her fans a training update. She smiled for a fresh-faced selfie as she told them: "I'm finding a whole new love for quickstep!!! I was super nervous and worried for this one but actually it's SO FUN!!!" She added: "Love it. After an emotional one last week it's so lovely to be back into the bubbly fun!"
