Love Island's Tasha is 'fickle' but romance with Andrew can recover, dating expert says

Love Island viewers have seen many of this season's romances turned on their heads following the Casa Amor twist last week.

One romance in particular that was left in tatters was that of Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page.

The couple had some ups and downs before the girls were whisked away to the second villa, with 27-year-old Andrew feeling insecure about his romance with model Tasha, 23.

It was clear to viewers that Andrew was more into Tasha than she was into him as she considered keeping her options open with other hunky singletons entering the villa.

But, dating coach Hayley Quinn exclusively tells the Mirror : "It can be quite normal for one person to be a little further ahead than the other one. The question is by how much, and how the more interested person expresses their feelings.

"Too many declarations too early on can be interpreted by the less interested partner as pressure."

Tasha decided she wanted to pursue things with Andrew but, before things could really get off the ground, she and the rest of the female Islanders were taken to Casa Amor.

While Tasha was away Andrew was told by the incoming girls that Tasha had "settled" with the estate agent and he should look elsewhere for love, which clearly hurt Andrew.

In reaction the hurt Islander sparked a romance with Coco Lodge and got up to some rather X-rated antics with her.

Upon Tasha's return, during which she brought Billy Brown back with her, Andrew lashed out at the blonde model, saying she had "told more lies than Pinocchio".

Later, Tasha lashed out upon discovering the claims that had been made about her while she was in the second villa.

Andrew and Tasha began to build bridges but more details about Andrew's antics beginning to surface. Andrew confessed to kissing Coco, 27, but didn't tell Tasha the whole truth, leaving her upset when she discovered Andrew had "sucked" the brunette's "t*t".

Dating coach Hayley explains: "Whilst it may be tempting to lie to spare your partner emotional pain, if you want a fresh start it’s better to come clean. Otherwise as more of the infidelity is uncovered it can create more and more fractures in someone’s trust.

"Being totally honest sets a better precedent and shows that you’re fully accountable for your actions.

"This is definitely a better step forwards especially on a show like Love Island where all of the gory details will inevitably come out!!"

The revelations looked to be the end for the couple as Tasha asked Luca to hand the estate agent's ring back to him. But, Tasha later confessed she still had feelings for Andrew and told Billy they wouldn't be anything more than friends.

But, can their romance get back on track? Hayley reveals that coming back from such events in a romance "isn't easy" but relationships "can recover".

"It may not be easy, but relationships can and do recover from cheating," the dating coach says. "In some circumstances, it can even create the opportunity for a more emotionally intimate relationship further down the road.

"This relies on partners being fully honest with one another about what happened, and showing persistence in restoring trust. This might mean allowing the other partner space to share their feelings, and not having any expectations for the relationship to go back to how it was."

The future remains uncertain as bombshell Adam Collard, who starred in the fourth series of Love Island, entered the villa. Tasha confessed he was the "biggest bombshell" so far, but what lies in store for the pair?

Hayley says: "Andrew clearly still has feelings for Tasha."

"Tasha can be fickle," Hayley adds. "This story isn’t finished yet!!"
