Love sick island

Tasha's childhood trip to Majorca landed her in hospital for six days

LOVE Island’s Tasha Ghouri is hoping her stay in Majorca for this year’s show will be more fun than her first trip to the island when a stomach bug landed her in hospital.

This time the 23-year-old model and dancer will be with contestants in the villa’s swish surroundings.

But 19 years ago, when she was four, a holiday with dad Tarek, mum Nicky and brother Alexander went horribly wrong.

Both children were struck down, along with many others, by a stomach virus from the hotel swimming pool.

Tasha, the first deaf contestant on the Virgin Media Two show, was left unable to eat for 10 days and spent six of them on a drip in hospital. When holiday reps failed to engage with angry parents, her father hired a lawyer who flew over to seek compensation from the holiday company.
