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.
‘She’s also become a powerful force for good campaigning and raising awareness for those with disabilities.
Before adding: ‘The Giovanni link is unfortunate to say the least, but above all else Tasha is a gorgeous girl who deserves this amazing opportunity.’
