More info Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri has candidly shared details about her love life, confessing that she's open to romance and aspires to marry in the future. Tasha first rose to fame on the eighth season of Love Island, where she reached the final alongside Andrew Le Page, eventually finishing fourth. Following her time on Love Island, Tasha stepped onto the Strictly Come Dancing floor, describing her time on the show as a "dream come true." Despite reaching the final stages of Strictly, Tasha was narrowly beaten to the illustrious Glitterball trophy by comedian Chris McCausland and his partner, Dianne Buswell, with Chris notably becoming the first blind winner of the show. Meanwhile, Tasha's involvement was groundbreaking too; she became only the second deaf contestant to feature on the BBC programme.

Reflecting on their separation during a chat on the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, Tasha provided insights into the decision, admitting: "My head was kind of saying, 'stay in it, just trust it, it will change,' but it didn't, and that's where we had to sit down and think, 'am I going to be happy in 10 years' time, five years' time, two years' time?'" (Image: Jeff Spicer,for Paramount Pictures) Emerging from her past break-up, Tasha has declared that she's ready to embrace romance once more, recently confiding in Heat magazine: "I feel ready to open those doors again and start dating." She even spoke about setting her sights on long-term commitments: "At some point, I do want to get married and have kids — that's still my goal." (Image: Antony Jones, Getty Images for Spotify) Delving deeper in the interview, she shared her lifelong desire for marriage and her particular hope for her grandmother to see her in a wedding dress, as she considers her nan to be her "best friend." Tasha, who relied solely on BSL for communication after being born with a hearing impairment, experienced a life-changing improvement when she received a cochlear implant at the age of five — a device implanted behind the ear to aid those with significant hearing loss.

Popular California tax payment system is down — just as quarterly deadline nears
Californians trying to pay their second-quarter estimated taxes before Monday's deadline through the Franchise Tax Board's MyFTB application have been unable to access the online service since at least Tuesday night. A warning on the FTB's Maintenance page as of Thursday afternoon said, 'We are experiencing technical issues that may impact some of our online services such as MyFTB, CalFile, and MEC (minimum essential coverage) Information Reporting. The issues also affect information we can provide over the phone.' It says taxpayers who need to make an online payment 'can use our version of Web Pay that doesn't require you to log into MyFTB. You can also use our general chat for non-confidential tax questions.' 'Earlier this week FTB experienced an internal system problem that affected some online self-service applications. The outage was not due to a cyber attack. Online services will be fully operational by Friday morning,' FTB spokesman Andrew LePage said via email. He did not elaborate on when the outage started or the cause. Individuals and businesses are encouraged to set up a MyFTB account, which stores a wealth of taxpayer information, according to the FTB's website. It lets individuals view account balances, estimated payments and credits, payment history, a list and image of tax returns, notices and correspondence, activities that occurred on their account, a list of authorized representatives who can access their account and California wage and withholding information. They can view and update contact information and access WebPay and CalFile, a free tax-filing service for some people. Palo Alto resident Skip Shapiro said he made his first-quarter estimated tax payment through his MyFTB account earlier his year but when he tried to access it Tuesday evening to make his second-quarter payment, it was down. 'It is troubling that what presumably is a critical means by which the state collects revenue is out of order,' he said via email. Shapiro said he ended up using WebPay, 'which doesn't require a user ID and password (i.e. an account), so any payment made is a 'one-off' transaction whose history is not retained by the application. Conversely, this information is stored in my myFTB account.' Spidell, an Anaheim publisher of state and federal tax information, has a brief note about the outage on its website and how it will affect tax professionals who — on behalf of their clients — need to make certain payments or ask the FTB questions.

The Strictly star started dating the YouTuber just weeks after she ruled out a new romance. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Tasha Ghouri, who is deaf, has become a celebrity ambassador for Make-A-Wish and Disney Credit: Instagram 2 She split from her Love Island boyfriend Andrew Le Page five months ago Credit: Instagram On social media, Andrew has appeared to take aim at his former girlfriend when he re-posted another user's TikTok video which had a foul-mouthed rant on-screen that read: "Nah, f**k you. I was good enough and you made me believe I wasn't.". Ignoring her ex, Tasha told fans she's become a celebrity ambassador for Make-A-Wish and Disney. The 26-year-old took part in A Disney Wish UK – a three-day experience at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire - with more than 200 children living with critical illness. Tasha told the Mirror: "The work they do is incredible. They're a great charity, providing magical, beautiful experiences for all these families. I felt so honoured to be a part of that, to just make them happy, make them go away with these beautiful memories. "It was so emotional and magical– I look back on it and just feel grateful to be part of that. "I want to keep doing charity work, be a real advocate for the deaf community and work with charities like Make-A-Wish. "These are the things I'm passionate about, I want to help people when I can. That's what is really important to me." The deaf dancer also opened up about her own struggles with her disability. She added: "I do still face difficulties today, but, you know, it doesn't compare at all to that these children go through every single day. "Everyone has their own difficulties, dealing with disabilities and illnesses, but these children live in a hospital, and for Make-A-Wish to provide an experience where it's all accessible, they can travel and they look after them. "It's so important to have that in the world, because the world can be so sad and scary sometimes. It's nice to have that positive light in their lives."
