Must read

The model, author and podcaster, from North Yorkshire, became Love Island’s first deaf contestant when she appeared on the ITV show, eventually finishing joint fourth with boyfriend Andrew Le Page, who she is still in a relationship with.

Ghouri said she joined the show to find love, as well as to raise awareness for the deaf community, but instead found herself the victim of online hate.

“When I left the show, I remember my dad sat me down and he looked at me straight and said ‘Tash, there is a lot of horrific stuff that was written about you, especially on social media,’ she said.

“There are videos made about my voice and the way I speak, it became a trend at one point.”
