'I was Love Island’s groundbreaking first deaf contestant – but I faced ableism in the villa', says Tasha Ghouri
"We didn't really have that place to escape to. There wasn't a place I could go and be emotional, cry my eyes out and just nap to get my energy back. Maybe that's something they could change."
"In there I was really doubting myself," she said. "I was in the bottom three so many times and I was really battered down quite a lot. The reason I was so emotional is I felt like a failure. I felt like I was letting down my mum and dad and the deaf community, especially." Tasha continued: "There's not enough awareness. That's why I had a lot of ablesim while I was on the show, purely because people couldn't understand some things.
Outside of the villa, Tasha may have regained control but her newfound fame, and its demands, presented its own challenges.
