When Tasha Ghouri entered the Love Island villa in 2022, she made history as the show’s first deaf contestant. But what kept viewers hooked was more than just representation — it was her charm, openness, and the slow-burn love story that unfolded with Andrew Le Page. Together, they rode the post-show wave of fame with what looked like an enviable real-world relationship: moving in together, adopting a rescue dog, even buying a home. It all seemed solid — until it wasn’t.
In early 2025, just weeks after Tasha’s impressive run on Strictly Come Dancing, news broke: she and Andrew had quietly split. Then came the twist — Tasha was spotted on Raya, the invite-only dating app known for its celebrity clientele. The timing raised eyebrows. But what followed wasn’t just media frenzy — it was Tasha herself admitting regret.
The question is: what exactly did she regret?
The end of a public fairytale
After Love Island, Tasha and Andrew transitioned from villa flings to a real-life commitment that played out on social media. Matching tattoos, couple vlogs, a renovation project — they sold the dream. So when rumors of a split emerged in January 2025, many fans were genuinely surprised. Andrew’s emotional Instagram post — “crap start to the year” — confirmed the breakup and hinted at real pain. He moved back to Guernsey. Tasha kept quiet, asking for privacy while she processed things “mentally and internally.”
But silence doesn’t last long when you’re a public figure. Especially when your relationship was built in front of millions.
Later that spring, during her book launch, Tasha opened up. The split, she said, wasn’t messy — they were on “good terms,” still co-parenting their dog, Luna. No scandal, no betrayal. “Sometimes you just grow apart.” It was an honest, non-sensational answer — but the story wasn’t over.
What makes Raya Different
Raya isn’t Tinder. You don’t just sign up. You apply. You wait. You’re judged — not just on looks, but on status, connections, Instagram followers, the whole package. The app is notoriously exclusive, its membership reportedly harder to crack than some Ivy League schools. It’s not just a dating app — it’s a soft power network for models, musicians, actors, creatives.
So when news surfaced that Tasha was on Raya mere weeks after a public breakup, the optics shifted. This wasn’t just dating again — this was making a statement, intentionally or not, in a very visible social space.
The profile that sparked a storm
Tasha’s Raya profile reportedly featured recent photos and a breezy, smiling bio. And it was active almost immediately after the breakup became public — maybe even before. That hit a nerve.
Sources close to Andrew claimed he was “blindsided.” And almost as quickly as it appeared, the profile vanished. Deleted.
Looking back, the whole thing reads like the kind of decision someone makes in a blur of emotions — not cruelty, not calculation, just a heat-of-the-moment impulse that happens to play out in public. For someone with a huge following and a carefully managed image, that impulse came with consequences.
Regret, but not for the reasons you’d think
Tasha didn’t deny it. She didn’t spin it. In a March 2025 interview with Fabulous, she owned the move completely: “I think at the time, I made a silly mistake… It was just way too soon.”
She didn’t say Raya was bad. She didn’t say dating again was wrong. She was clear: it was the timing. “Everyone makes mistakes,” she added, “and in that situation, I did. I own up to that.” It wasn’t about being on the app. It was about being on it then, when she was still hurting, when the breakup hadn’t even settled into memory.
Later interviews confirmed the same point — that she wasn’t ready to date, that she acted impulsively, and that she learned from it. That’s not damage control. That’s just being human.
