Tasha Ghouri's Pilgrimage: Rising Above Ableism

0:00On March 31st, Tasha Goury, the 27-year-old influencer born completely deaf, just opened up about the ableism she faced on Love Island, three years back. She says it still hits her heart, especially seeing how it hurt her family, but now she's channeling that into a new BBC show called Pilgrimage, The Road to Holy Island. She's teaming up with stars like Dancer Ashley Vanjo, actress Patsy Kenseth and others for a five-day trek through North Yorkshire, County Durham, and Northumberland. They follow Old Pass linked to St. Coughbert, ending at the dramatic Holy Island of Lindisfarne. That Love Island run in 2022 shot her to fame alongside Andrew LaPage, but the online hate and disability jabs took a real toll. Tasha shared how the trolling crushed her mental health, leaving her anxious and stuck in her room for stretches. Fast forward, she and Andrew split last year after buying a home together, and things got messy with cheating claims. Now she's with BBC presenter Cam Wittnall, since last May, calling herself in a really good mental spot, surrounded by real support.

1:07This Pilgrimage feels like her fresh start, hitting BBC 2 on April 5th at 9pm, proving she's rising above the noise. From the spotlight, powered by AI, this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today. I'm Corey with The Story.
