The Strictly Come Dancing team jumped on the Giovanni Pernice trend by recruiting his ex, Tasha Ghouri, aiming to enhance show rankings and ‘manipulate’ viewer psychology, ensuring the show’s continued appeal amid ongoing controversy.
Strictly Come Dancing has reportedly signed up Giovanni Pernice’s ex Tasha Ghouri for the scandal-plagued show’s new series.
The Love Island star, 25, who found fame on the ITV2 series in 2022, enjoyed a number secret dates with Italian pro, 33, just months before entering the villa.
Tasha is also a trained dancer and disability campaigner after being born deaf and fitted with cochlear implants aged five, with bosses said to believe she’d be a ‘top draw’ for viewers.
The BBC show has been mired in drama since Giovanni was suspended following Amanda Abbington’s accusations of abusive behavior. He denies the claims.
‘Their romance didn’t progress because Giovanni was travelling a lot with the Strictly tour and Tasha was already involved with someone else.’
MailOnline contacted their representatives for comment at the time.
It comes after the show’s new celeb line up was reportedly been leaked online ahead of the show’s official announcement – however Tasha’s name was noticeably absent.
The celebrity lineup for the 20th anniversary series is due to be released in the next few days.
However, stars have already been reportedly confirmed to be hitting the dancefloor as rehearsals begin.
Earlier this month it was revealed TOWIE star Pete Wicks has signed up, despite the news his close pal Zara McDermott was physically and verbally abused by her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima last year.
Meanwhile ex Arsenal player Paul Merson and DIY SOS star Nick Knowles have also reportedly put on their dancing shoes.
And now according to a Reddit post seen by Metro, all 15 stars set to compete have been leaked in an ‘alleged list’.
The post reportedly included a screenshot from an Instagram Story shared to someone’s close friends, suggesting it wasn’t meant for public knowledge.
