Tasha Ghouri confirmed that she has signed up to Strictly Come Dancing 2024 (Image: BBC) Former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri is one of the most recent names confirmed for the 2024 line up of Strictly Come Dancing celebrity contestants. The deaf reality star shared that she was "excited" to get stuck in. Speaking to KISS Breakfast hosts Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely on Wednesday, she said: "I feel nervous, excited, like I’m about to throw up.
It didn’t feel real til I was here now, but I’m so gassed, I’m so excited." When addressing any backlash to her dancing experience, the 25-year-old stated: "I've not danced in quite a few years now, since Love Island my career is very different. It's a very different dance style - I may not be good at it.
I'm excited for the challenge." She added who her dream Stricly pro would be, saying: "I do have a dream of who I would love to be with, I’ve not even met them yet. It would be Jojo (Johannes Radebe), I would love to work with him.

It was previously reported that she had enjoyed "secret dates" with former Strictly champion Giovanni Pernice – a month after he won the show with Rose Ayling-Ellis.

However, it wasn't meant to be as their brief romance was said to have fizzled out due to Gio's Strictly tour commitments.
A source close to Tasha told Daily Mail: "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. Don't miss.

"Their romance didn't progress because Giovanni was travelling a lot with the Strictly tour and Tasha was already involved with someone else." The pair will not be reuniting as Tasha takes to the dance floor, due to controversy surrounding Giovanni. The Italian dancer has been axed from this year's professional line up following claims of "abusive" behaviour from him towards his former dance partner Amanda Abbington.
