You don’t need to be a Love Island fan to know that Tasha Ghouri has been making waves since she appeared on the hit reality show in 2022. The first-ever deaf contestant to appear on the ITV dating series has steered clear of fast fashion and short-lived brand deals and is using her profile to raise awareness for the deaf community.
During Deaf Awareness Week this week, dancer and model Tasha is highlighting the representation of disabilities in all forms on our screens.
Tasha, 25, looks completely at home in front of the cameras as she poses for our shoot, but says such internal ease has only come to her recently as she has gained maturity since she first appeared on our screens. “I know what I want to do. I know my worth now,” she says.
She is still loved-up with her Love Island boyfriend Andrew Le Page, 29, and the couple are renovating their home. There is talk of a diamond ring (no pressure, Andrew, but Tasha has a specific style in mind!) and we wonder how long it will be until their spare room has a change of purpose…
Here, she talks about dealing with relationship pressures, swerving fast fashion, using her growing platform for good – and shares some top beauty tips.
Hello, Tasha. We love that you’re making your own path after Love Island. How hard was it to not be tempted into fast fashion deals?
To be 100% honest, I did wear a lot of fast fashion before Love Island. But then with eBay as the sponsor of my series, it really made me more aware of my shopping habits. Coming out of the villa and now working with them as a partner, I went through my whole wardrobe and bin-bagged everything that was fast fashion and gave it all to charity. That was my reset.
