Strictly's Tasha Ghouri breaks silence on new romance as she addresses dating rumours
Tasha Ghouri has finally broken her silence on dating speculation following her separation from Andrew Le Page.
The pair first met in the Love Island villa in 2022 and made it all the way to the final, where they finished in fourth place.
Their relationship continued to flourish after the reality series, as they soon moved in together and welcomed a pet dog into their lives.
However, following Tasha's impressive journey to the Strictly final alongside Aljaž Škorjanec last December, news emerged that her romance with Andrew Le Page had come to an end earlier this year.
Since then, there has been intense speculation as to exactly why the pair split, while supporters of the Strictly star have been curious about potential new romantic developments.

During a candid conversation with Rylan Clark on his How To Be In Love podcast, Tasha has now addressed the rumours, confirming she is currently in the "early dating stages."
Whilst keeping her new romantic interest's identity under wraps, she revealed how their connection began, explaining to the former X Factor star that she first noticed him on TikTok: "I just DMed (direct messaged) him on Instagram. I was like, 'Hi.'"

Elaborating on her motivation for making contact, she reflected: "I think at the time, I was like, life's too short."
Earlier in the podcast, she recounted her initial attraction to the mystery man, noting: "I just remember thinking he's got a really cool job. Like, you know, he looks very—yeah. (There's) something just about him."
In a separate chat with Heat magazine earlier this month, Tasha shared her aspirations for the future, stating: "I do want to get married and have kids — that's still my goal."

Beyond her romantic pursuits, Tasha has enjoyed significant professional triumphs lately, notably becoming the second deaf contestant to grace Strictly Come Dancing, following Rose Ayling-Ellis's groundbreaking appearance in 2021.
Competing against other celebrities such as Pete Wicks, JB Gill, and Sarah Hadland, Tasha danced her way to the final of the show, ultimately finishing as runner-up to comedian Chris McCausland and his dance partner Dianne Buswell.

Clarkson's Farm star forced to call 999 during heatwave over fire risk
Clarkson's Farm star forced to call 999 during heatwave over fire risk Kaleb Cooper, who has become famous since appearing on the Amazon Prime show alongside Jeremy Clarkson, took to social media to share the warning Kaleb Cooper, a familiar face from Clarkson's Farm, has criticised individuals for releasing Chinese lanterns into the Cotswolds countryside amid a heatwave. The farming contractor urgently contacted emergency services yesterday upon spotting the lanterns, which are known to pose a significant wildfire risk according to fire services. The Oxfordshire native and breakout star of the show with Jeremy Clarkson took to social media on Saturday (July 12) to voice his concerns. In an Instagram post titled "what is going on in the world" Kaleb shared a video message. Although the video mainly showed a shadowy figure, it included Kaleb speaking directly to the camera, expressing his disbelief: "I can't quite believe what I'm seeing at the moment." He continued, revealing his immediate action: "I've just called this in to 999 but someone has felt the need to light two Chinese lanterns in and around the Chipping Norton area.

I'm looking at both of them as we speak right now." Kaleb then questioned the rationale behind such actions during dangerous weather conditions: "But what goes through someone's mind when they decide to light two Chinese lanterns in the middle of a heatwave. "We've hardly had any rain since March. Jesus, honestly. What's going on with the world," reports Gloucestershire Live. His followers quickly echoed his sentiments in the comments section. Kaleb stars alongside Jeremy Clarkson in Clarkson's Farm (Image: Amazon Prime Video ) One follower emphasised the need for awareness: "People need educating mate. Spread the message." Another supporter agreed with Kaleb's warning: "Well said Kaleb, this could quite easily start a wild fire." A third individual expressed concern saying: "Some people really don't have a clue. The farmer's field next to mine is that dry I can literally put my whole hand down the cracks of the soil." Meanwhile, another added their voice to the chorus of concerns: "They should never do this for any celebration. They let some of these off for a wedding near me. They set fire to someone's house and barn when they landed. Plus livestock can ingest them when they land. It's like balloon releases. It's littering, pure and simple. Should be banned." Kaleb was praised by his followers for his actions (Image:) On its website, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service offers advice about sky lanterns, describing them: "Sky lanterns are a beautiful sight - but the potential damage they can cause is significant. "They use the heat of a naked flame to float. They're not only a fire hazard but also a danger to livestock, agriculture, camping activities, thatched properties and hazardous material sites. "Whilst ignition and launch are mostly in the control of the user, the actual flight path and end destination are not. There's no guarantee the fuel cell will be completely out and cooled when the lantern lands, so any contact with a flammable surface could start a fire. "There's evidence of them causing fires, wasting police time, being mistaken for distress flares, misleading aircraft and killing livestock."

James Martin reveals extra precautions to protect himself after London attack
James Martin has revealed the extreme lengths he has taken to protect himself after thieves smashed up his car in broad daylight. The ITV chef recently declared that 'London is broken' after the windscreen of his car was smashed in. In a post on Instagram, the 52-year-old shared a photo of his car with the caption: 'So in a week two of my friends cars got stolen. 'One other mate got mugged and now I had this happen all in broad daylight all in central London. London is broken big time.' Now, however, Martin has taken a step further by sharing a picture of his dogs, a Belgian Malinois, in a 'working dog' harness. Alongside the image, he captioned the post by simply saying: 'London.' After sharing what had happened on his miserable morning, fans rallied round the star, sharing kind words on the post. Joanne Lokwiya wrote, 'So sorry this has happened to you. The whole of the UK is the same, the laws need to change and we need more police on the streets'.
