A trusted informant disclosed that Tasha, once “madly in love with Andrew” whom she encountered during the 2022 run of Love Island, witnessed her relationship faltering soon after her involvement with Strictly commenced.
“She gave her all in that competition,” an insider revealed to The Sun. “Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz and that drove a wedge between them as time went by. Now she’s going off on tour she’s going to be away from Andrew again. They talked about ending their relationship at the start of January and she’s pretty much heading out on the Strictly tour as a single woman.”
Before Tasha’s Strictly journey with pro Aljaz Skorjanec, the couple appeared to be going strong. The former lovebirds were proud parents to their dog Luna, sported matching rose tattoos, and even purchased a house together at the beginning of 2024.

In December, when asked if a proposal might be on the cards, Tasha told OK! Magazine: “That’s a question for Andrew! But of course, there is no one else for me and Andrew is who I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
After the breakup, it’s reported that Tasha created a profile on the celebrity dating app Raya, featuring photos she had previously posted on her public account.
