Love Island star Tasha Ghouri was reportedly "inseparable" at school from former islander Georgia Steel, though the pair are said to have fallen out a number of years ago, according to claims.
Tasha, 23, is among the participants on the latest series of the ITV2 show, whilst Georgia, 24, had been an Islander in 2018 – just a few years after it's claimed they fell out.
It was already known the pair were both from Thirsk in North Yorkshire, but it's now been reported that they had actually been "best friends" at Thirsk Secondary School.
They are said to have been part of a local dance troupe together, with a source saying "things turned bad" between them when they were accepted into different colleges.
The Sun claims to have seen photos of the pair laughing together as teenagers, with the outlet reporting that they haven't spoken since suffering a "bad fall out" whilst friends.
A source told the outlet: "[They] were honestly inseparable and just best friends throughout school. They loved drama and dance. They pushed themselves to be the best.
"Things got a bit competitive towards Year 11 and then when Tasha got accepted into a better dance college than Georgia things turned bad. They were so young [though]."

The outlet reports that Tasha attended CAPA College, which is understood to be in Wakefield. It states that Georgia had instead been part of the sixth form at York College.
Tasha is said to have later graduated from the Creative Academy, whilst Georgia went on to attend London's Academy of Live and Recorded Arts prior to doing Love Island.
The source said it's a "sad" situation as the local community is proud of them both, adding: "We hope they patch it up because they could be a huge support for each other."
Tasha is in a relationship with fellow Islander Andrew Le Page, 27, with viewers yet to find out whether they have made it through to the final of the latest series on Monday.
