The Strictly Come Dancing star is renovating her countryside mansion with her Love Island boyfriend
Life couldn’t be more exciting for Tasha Ghouri right now. Not only is the Strictly Come Dancing star regularly topping the leaderboard as she jives, sambas and waltzes her way across the ballroom, but she is also renovating her sprawling countryside home with her boyfriend Andrew Le Page.
Tasha, 26, found love with her boyfriend Andrew, 29, during the eighth season of Love Island.
Shortly after leaving the island together, Andrew got a tattoo of ‘I love you’ in British Sign Language, holding Tasha’s cochlear implant. And in February this year, the couple announced they had reached a major milestone in their relationship, purchasing a detached fixer-upper home together.
When she’s not in rehearsals with her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec, Tasha is no doubt spending her time working through renovations on the beautiful period property that she hoped would take “two years” to complete.
From the extensive renovations to revealing their plans for plush interiors, here’s everything we know about Tasha and Andrew’s three-bedroom property.
The couple are 8 months into renovating

“We’re so excited that we’ll be doing a full house renovation and making magic!” penned the couple on Instagram.
“It’s going to be a wild ride but there’s no-one else we’d both rather do it with! We already have exciting plans for this house… let’s get our renovation boots on and work some magic.”
The Love Island stars technically bought two homes

“Is that a separate bungalow?” quizzed a fan during a Q&A on Tasha’s Instagram, to which the star shared her and Andrew’s plans to turn the mysterious building into a kitchen connected to the main building via a chic glass walkway.
“It used to be a garage. When we went to go and see it there were two massive vans inside, it’s a very, very big space. The plan is to turn that into the kitchen.”
The home still has its original features

“We love this fireplace… it’s the only big character in the home I would say! We’re in two minds of keeping this and sprucing it up or getting an electric one,” Tasha wrote on the couple’s Instagram page.
The bedroom is a work in progress
