About Author

Chris Pellant

Natasha Amber Ghouri (, born 11 August 1998) is a British television personality and author. She was born in Thirsk and was deaf from birth. Having taken up ballet at the age of three, she became a commercial dancer and fashion model, appearing in the music video for "More Than Words" by Sleepwalkers featuring MNEK and a cast of Hard of Hearing dancers, and initially attracted attention for modelling earrings for ASOS. Her appearances on the eighth series of Love Island, on which she and Andrew Le Page finished joint-fourth, brought her numerous ambassadorial roles, and she later launched a podcast, Superpowers with Tasha, and released a book, Hits Different. In 2024, she spent a week as the Dictionary Corner guest on Countdown, and later that month, the BBC reported that she had gone viral on TikTok after uploading a Get Ready With Me video to the platform using her deaf accent. She was a contestant and runner-up on Series 22 of Strictly Come Dancing, on which she was partnered with Aljaž Škorjanec, and appeared in the 2025 edition of Strictly Come Dancing Live!
