THE 'real reason' behind Giovanni Pernice and Tasha Ghouri's split can be revealed after the Love Island star signed up to Strictly. Tasha , 25, joined Perri Kiely and Jordan Banjo on Kiss FM today as she made the special announcement after weeks of keeping it a secret. Her casting on the BBC show comes just months after her ex Giovanni, 33, was axed following abuse accusations from former celebrity partners.
According to MailOnline , Giovanni was the one who initiated the relationship, contacting Tasha in January 2022 just a month after his Strictly win with Rose Ayling-Ellis . Explaining why things came to an end, a source said: "Their romance didn't progress because Giovanni was travelling a lot with the Strictly tour and Tasha was already involved with someone else." Giovanni is now single following his recent split from Molly Brown, while Tasha is still dating her Love Island partner, Andrew Le Page .
The insider added: "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.
" The Sun has contacted representatives for Giovanni and Tasha. Tasha competed in a number of major dance events before finding fame on Love Island. It's spar.
