Love Island Tasha's celebrity ex-boyfriend revealed

Love Island's Tasha has been romantically connected to a Too Hot To Handle star.

The show's first deaf contestant, Tasha Ghouri was coupled up with Andrew Le Page after a fan vote decided they were the perfect pairing. Stating she's been single for a while in the villa, news of a celebrity ex-boyfriend has surfaced as she begins getting close with Andrew.

A source told Mail Online Tasha dated Too Hot To Handle star Robert van Tromp a few months before entering Love Island. The couple met in October of last year and dated for five months before going their separate ways for undisclosed reasons.

The source said Robert is "gutted" about seeing his ex on television and would be happy to rekindle their relationship if possible once the show is over. He said: "She ticks all his boxes and he had hoped to reconnect with her after regretting their breakup. Tasha is the one that got away and he believes he let a gem go, watching her on the show this summer won't be easy for him."

Robert previously dated Christina Carmela after meeting on the Netflix show, which he was part of in June 2021. They ended their relationship in September 2021, a month before he met Tasha.

The Mirror reported model and dancer Tasha - who hails from Thirsk in Yorkshire - recently discussed what she would be doing with the prize money if she won the dating show. She has a cochlear implant, after being born completely deaf and had the device in since she was five years old when she underwent an eight-hour surgery to have it fitted.

Now, she isn't shy to show off her implant and dubs it her "superpower", revealing that guys tend to find it an attractive element about her as she's so confident about it. She said: "If I did win the prize money, it would be a shock. My plan is that I'd give 50% of it to the National Deaf Children's Society. That's been the plan from the start. I have raised money for charity before, so it's something I'd love to do to give back."
