If youve been waking up to visions of bright disco balls and echoes of Craig Revel Horwood saying dahhhhling, it can only mean your mind is preparing for Strictly to return. Indeed, the nations favourite dancing show is set to start its 22rd series on Saturday 14th September, and weve already blocked out the next three months in our calendars. Dont try to organise a Saturday night pub crawl. Were not free.
One of the bookies favourites this year is Love Island alumni Tasha Ghouri. Tasha has been making waves way beyond her stint on the dating show, launching a podcast and releasing her first novel, Hits Different. It made complete sense for her next adventure to be Strictly Come Dancing, especially with fellow Islander Zara McDermott making the move last season. Well, much like Zara, Tasha has a go-to gym co-ord for her workroom sessions, and its a firm favourite of the team, too.
©@tashaghouri Discussing her first day in rehearsals for Strictly on Instagram, Tasha could be seen wearing the Adanola Ultimate Cross Back Bra in Olive Green, £29.99. She finishes off the look with matching Adanola Ultimate Wrap Over Leggings, £39.99. Although Tash announced herself to be very sweaty indeed, Adanolas bras have no problem tackling even the most high-intensity workouts. How do we know this? We are big fans of Adanola over here.
Our shopping editor Aimee Jakes has this to say about their leggings: They are beyond stretchy and flattering for starters. As a life-long lover of Lululemon Aligns, £88, they definitely have a very similar look, but the fabrics are not the same. Think more buttery-soft, like a Lululemon dupe, but the Adanola leggings are lighter and feel more similar to lycra. If I had to pick, Adanolas are definitely worth it especially as Aligns go bobbly after a while. Read Aimees full Adanola review here.

View offer Tasha finishes the look with the wrap-over leggings from Adanola, with a flattering waistband that contours the body. One review says there are no other leggings like them. Preach.
©@tashaghouri Proving herself to be the biggest Adanola fan even before Strictly rehearsals began, early this week Tasha posted on her stories celebrating her Adanola set before heading out to the gym. She paired the Adanola Ultimate Wrap Bra, £29.99 with the Ultimate Wrap Over Leggings, £39.99, both in the gorgeous coffee bean shade. She declared the Adanola set as vibes. Thats a thumbs-up certification if weve ever heard one.

Who is Tasha Ghouris boyfriend? Those who are new to the Tasha Ghouri train might be wondering if shes partnered up with something in the romantic sense, not just the Strictly sense (thats our attempt at a joke). Tasha is still loved up with her Love Island beau Andrew Le Page, who came joint fourth with her on Love Island 2022. They celebrated their two-year anniversary in July, and are constantly in each others Instagram comments gushing over each others achievements. Theyve even bought a house together, and have a dog (so basically theyre parents) called Luna.
What season of Love Island was Tasha Ghouri on? Tasha Ghouri appeared on season eight of Love Island, which many call one of the best series to date. You have iconic characters like Ekin-Su and Davide, drama galore with Indiyah and Dami, and one liners from our very own Tasha and Andrew. Something to do with licking - and you know the rest.
