Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri, former Love Island favorites, ended their romance earlier this year, and the two are now open about their breakup.

It doesn’t look like Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri will be reuniting anytime soon. In the wake of Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha opening up about their recent split, estate agent Andrew has taken action online and revealed that he is “moving on.”
The former couple won hearts as contestants on Love Island in 2022 but were pipped to the post by winners Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. However, their journey did not end at the finale; they left hand-in-hand, with their love story captivating viewers as it seemingly grew stronger day by day.
Their bond had already grown stronger by the time their relationship reached the final of Strictly, where Andrew was Tasha’s biggest cheerleader while Aljakorjanec competed alongside her in the same year. However, when Tasha and Andrew called it quits in February 2025 amid the brisk Strictly Live tour, the story unexpectedly took a new direction.

Andrew has spoken on Snapchat recently from Tasha, who is describing the breakdown of their relationship in her new book. One follower questioned the “different negative narratives” surrounding the relationship breakdown during a Q&, A with the fans. Let’s just say I had to bite my tongue with it all. Truth always comes out right at some point. Andrew responded.
Other fans asked if Andrew would start a podcast to discuss his side of the story in reference to Tasha’s new book. Andrew responded, “To be honest, it’s not my thing.” “We’re finished, and I’m moving on.”

Tasha and Andrew were battling issues away from the spotlight despite acting as one-sided throughout Strictly’s trying weeks. In her upcoming memoir, Your Superpower, Tassa spills the beans, blaming the stringent requirements of Strictly for the breakdown of their fairytale romance.
Tasha says in her new book that “it’s a long process” but that finding support for people with disabilities is what it’s all about. I was completely aware that it wasn’t appropriate. There were a lot of tears shed, and it was very difficult. I planned to marry Andrew, but he was not. We discussed having children.
The bombshell dropped just weeks after Tasha’s candid chat with the Mirror about her breakup. Spilling the beans on her fresh start in a new home post-split, Tasha shared with us: “It’s a new chapter. It’s a new beginning and it’s all about embracing that and that’s what life is about.”
This came after she retorted rumors about her separation from Andrew, and she responded with, “No, I ended the relationship.” “In the background, there were many things.”
After a two-and-a-half-year romance, sources reveal that Tasha and Andrew’s relationship ended in February. The cracks started to appear on Tasha’s Strictly, according to an insider who spoke to The Sun.
She gave it everything in that contest. As time went on, her attention remained solely on her dances with Aljaz, which caused a rift between them. She’s almost going out on the Strictly tour as a single woman, and they discussed ending their relationship at the beginning of January.

India and Pakistan have exchanged gunfire for a fourth night in a row in the wake of a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last week.
The Indian army said it responded to “unprovoked small arms fire” from multiple Pakistan Army posts around midnight on Sunday along the 740km (460-mile) de-facto border separating the Indian and Pakistani areas of the disputed region, which both nations have claimed since their separation in 1947. The persistent cross-border skirmishes have raised fears of wider military escalation between the rival nuclear powers.
The Pakistani military has not yet commented on the latest exchange of fire. No casualties have been reported.
The skirmishes come after gunmen killed 26 people near the resort town of Pahalgam in Muslim-majority Kashmir last Tuesday. It was the deadliest attack on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir for a quarter of a century.
Security officials and survivors said that gunmen segregated men during the attack, asking their names and targeting Hindus before shooting them at close range.
The attack triggered outrage and grief in India, with New Delhi accusing Pakistan of funding and encouraging “cross-border terrorism” in Kashmir. Islamabad has denied any role and called for a , neutral probe.
Following the attack, India launched an extensive security operation, and identified two of the three suspects as Pakistani.
Security forces detained approximately 500 people for questioning and searched nearly 1, 000 houses and forests, hunting for the attackers, according to a local police official cited by news agency Reuters.
The two nations have since unleashed a raft of measures against one another.
India has put the critical Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance and sealed its land border with Pakistan. Islamabad has closed its airspace to Indian airlines.
India’s defence forces have conducted several military exercises across the country since the attack. Some of these are routine preparedness drills, a defence official said.
Kashmir Resistance, also known as The Resistance Front, said in a social media post on Sunday that it “unequivocally” denies involvement in the attack.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will next week mark an incredible milestone in their relationship – 14 years of marriage – and this year’s anniversary will be ‘even more important’ following last year’s trauma

The Prince and Princess of Wales have faced a brutal 12 months that would have rocked the foundations of any solid marriage. But with Kate now in remission following her devastating cancer diagnosis last year and gradually returning to royal duties, things are certainly looking much brighter for her and husband Prince William, who has been her constant support.
Next week they will mark a happy milestone in their stronger-than-ever relationship – 14 years of marriage with a two-day trip to the stunning Isle of Mull, where they will stay in a self-catering cottage and carry out a string of engagements. In recent years, they’ve also had to deal with the fallout of Prince Harry and Meghan dramatically quitting their royal roles as well as getting to grips with their increasing royal duties as Prince and Princess of Wales following the death of the late Queen.

They also have to finely balance this with raising their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – and being hands-on parents doing the school run and ferrying the youngsters around to their various activities and after-school sports clubs.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has delved inside their marriage to work out exactly what it is that makes their union a special one. And she exclusively reveals exactly what has allowed them to navigate stormy waters – and now appear to be even stronger than ever.
She explains: “Their first anniversary after Catherine’s official remission has to be that extra bit special. Every milestone takes them that little bit further away from the dreadful day when she was diagnosed with cancer. After his mother died, William said he knew it would make or break him and he refused to let it break him.

“I think they have both taken a similar attitude to dealing with the brutal year they have just endured. Their marriage is, I think, even stronger than before, and it was already a roaring success. I think they like each other. A lot. And that’s a whole different thing to loving one another -which, incidentally, they also do. A lot.

“What makes it work? I think theirs is a pretty equal partnership. William is a much more hands-on dad than his father or grandfather. And I don’t think Catherine would let him get away with anything less.
“They operate as a partnership and they have such a deep understanding of one another that they can communicate when they are out and about with just a look or a gesture. They seem sometimes to have private jokes that make them smile or nudge one another.
“I do think that Catherine’s parents and the King must be delighted that the marriage has worked out so well. It’s important for the monarchy that it works, but, on a human level, it is so comforting for the Middletons and for the King to know that William and Catherine are such a strong unit and seem able to deal with pretty much anything that life throws at them.”
The couple’s love story stretches more than 14 years, right back to 2001 when they met as students at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. As freshers, both lived on campus in St Salvator’s hall of residence, before going on to share a two-storey house with friends. And it was during this time that the pair fell for one another with the slow burn of William and Kate’s early romance credited for being the key to their longevity.
However, it hasn’t always been plain sailing for the couple. In 2007, after they graduated from university, they briefly split as William entered Army training and Kate started work as a buyer at fashion chain Jigsaw and they figured out what they wanted from life.

But their time apart was short-lived as just months after it emerged they were no longer together, they rekindled their romance with some believing the split reinforced their true feelings for each other. At the time of their engagement, even Kate confided that while she wasn’t very happy about it”, she believes the experience made her a “stronger person”.
“You know, over the years William has looked after me, he’s treated me very well – as the loving boyfriend he is, he is very supportive of me through the good times and through the bad times,” Kate later remarked.
After marrying in a grand wedding at Westminster Abbey, Kate began her life of royal duties consisting of high-profile public engagements, prestigious state events and at times, gruelling overseas tours. In the early days of their marriage, the couple kept public displays of affection to a minimum, despite Kate once remarking how “hugs were important”. But fast-forward 14 years, joint outings often consist of tender touches, loving glances at each other and even sweet hand-holding.
Last year, the couple laid bare their affectionate nature in a highly personal video to announce the end of Kate’s cancer treatment, which saw William tenderly embracing his wife in a cuddle on the beach and placing a kiss on her. Earlier this year, the pair also posted a clip on their own social media accounts of them walking hand-in-hand through a railway station ready to catch the train home after a busy day of engagements in Wales.

“I think this gives us all the chance to see first-hand that theirs is a true love match, built on the strongest of all foundations: friendship and the shared experience of university life,” says Jennie.
“Cancer must make you realise that life is short and is for living and loving. If they feel like touching or holding hands when they are in public, then why the hell not? I think everyone loves to see how strong their marriage is, and even more so after the trauma of the past year or so.”
Another thing they can also count on, especially during their public life, is their shared cheeky sense of humour and competitive nature. Kate is often seen laughing at her husband’s witty quips with the pair regularly heard gently teasing each other.
At the recent Six Nations rugby match between Wales and England in Cardiff, which the royal couple attended, their mischievous facial expressions were on show for all to see as they cheered on their opposing teams.

The actual day of their 14th wedding anniversary on Tuesday falls on a school day so any celebrations William and Kate have planned will have to fit in around the school run, after-school clubs and homework. But even if celebrations are muted, Jennie predicts Kate could still be in store for a special gift.
She explains: “Traditionally ivory was the gift for the 14th wedding anniversary but obviously that’s illegal these days. Instead, people sometimes take an elephant theme – and that would be very much in keeping with William’s conservation work with the elephant trust Tusk. And, since ivory was banned, people have also chosen gold to replace it on the 14th anniversary. So maybe a beautiful golden elephant necklace or pair of elephant earrings might do the job!”
As their marriage continues, there will no doubt be more hurdles in the future for them to face. In the short term, they have a big joint decision to make over where their eldest child and heir to the throne Prince George should go to school once he turns 13 next year.
Their other pressing responsibilities include their charitable work with the causes close to their hearts, such as William’s ambitious campaign to end homelessness with his Homewards project and Kate’s desire to highlight the importance of a child’s early years – not to mention William’s growing expectations as heir to the throne. Just yesterday, he attended the funeral of Pope Francis on behalf of his father.
“It’s all very well thinking that Catherine has hit the jackpot by marrying a prince and future king”, explains Jennie. “But becoming a senior royal and one day Queen is a truly extraordinary role to take on and could be a lonely and bewildering one. William, I think, has helped her grow into the role, and I think he is forever grateful that she has been willing to take it on and to give him three gorgeous children whom they both adore and the security of a happy family life which he, sadly, never knew.”

However, another huge test will come with their ultimate destiny – becoming King and Queen. All of his life, Willliam has known that the role as head of state will be in store for him, and 14 years ago on their wedding day, Kate’s future life was also sealed.
The cancer diagnosis of William’s father the King and his ongoing treatment will no doubt also play on their minds and what this could mean for the future. But Jennie adds: “Together they are facing the challenge of becoming King and Queen, possibly rather earlier than anticipated, given the King’s cancer. That must weigh heavily on them, but, together, they are strong.”

World number one, seven Six Nations titles in a row and a 25-Test winning streak in all competitions.
Heading into a home Women’s Rugby World Cup, no-one can dispute England deserve their title as tournament favourites.
A thrilling 43-42 victory over France at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, may have secured a fourth consecutive Grand Slam on Saturday, but it also brought much-needed hope to all the chasing nations that the Red Roses are not invincible.
Les Bleues, who are ranked fourth in the world, bagged six tries and outscored John Mitchell’s side 21-12 in a second-half performance that exposed defensive frailties.
“England do have chinks and if you want to be the team that can beat them then there are ways to do that,” former England fly-half Katy Daley-McLean told BBC Rugby Union Weekly.
Canada aim to kick on boosted by $1m fundraising campaign

In 2022, Australia and New Zealand joined the United States and Canada to form a four-team competition that would serve as a qualifier for the newly-formed WXV.
The tournament, which ran without Australia and the Black Ferns in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic, was first won by Canada, before New Zealand picked up the trophy in their debut season.
However, Canada produced an impressive 22-19 win over the world champions in Christchurch to win their second title last year and offer up a timely statement before WXV1.
Before playing England in a home WXV1 title decider in October, lock Tyson Beukeboom said Canada’s goal was to “win the World Cup next year”.
Errors proved costly as Canada, who are ranked second in the world despite being an amateur outfit, missed out on the opportunity to defeat the World Cup hosts, losing 21-12, but their performance added a serious contender to the mix.
All this was without influential captain Sophie de Goede, who is still recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The Saracens number eight will likely to be back for the World Cup, where she will look to remind everyone why she is one of the best players in the world.
In March, Rugby Canada announced they were 30% of the way through a fundraising campaign to “win the Rugby World Cup 2025” in England, with the goal to raise $1m (£775,000).
If Canada and New Zealand win their World Cup pools and quarter-finals, they will face off in Bristol in the final four.
Victory for Canada would then potentially set up a re-run of the 2014 World Cup final with England, which England won 21-9.

Have New Zealand something up their sleeve again?
Things haven’t gone to plan for Black Ferns head coach Allan Bunting since he was promoted from his assistant role after the team’s World Cup triumph on home soil in 2022.
Trying out new combinations and losing several players to injury contributed to defeats by Canada, France and England last year.
But this follows a similar pattern. A year out from the World Cup in 2022, the Black Ferns suffered heavy back-to-back defeats by England to raise doubts about their ability to retain their title.
Then seven months before the tournament, the Black Ferns appointed former New Zealand men’s head coach Wayne Smith to lead the women’s team, and his experience and guile helped steer the side to a sixth world title.
The big news this time round is the return of the World Cup’s record try-scorer, Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, who this month announced she would come out of international retirement to try and win a third straight World Cup.
Meanwhile, New Zealand wing Ruby Tui recently hinted “something new” is being planned by attack coach Tony Christie that will transform their chances of securing a seventh title in England.
Woodman-Wickliffe, 33, played most of her career on the wing, but featured at outside centre in the Grand Final of Super Rugby Aupiki, helping Blues Women secure the title.
Seven Black Ferns sevens players have also made themselves available for World Cup selection, including uncapped women’s world sevens player of the year nominee Jorja Miller and back-to-back Olympic gold medallist Risi Pouri-Lane.
Returning double World Cup-winners Theresa Setefano and Stacey Waaka are also eyeing a third triumph in a row.
Whether the new attacking strategy includes Woodman-Wickliffe and is used in Pacific Four Series remains to be seen – what is for sure is that you can never rule out New Zealand.

Australia & USA need sevens stars
Australia, ranked sixth in the world, were hammered 41-5 by England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2022 and remain a good way behind.
To have any chance of closing the gap they will need to call upon their sevens stars, which is proving difficult.
The Wallaroos hoped to secure the services of world sevens player of the year Maddison Levi, but the 23-year-old’s agent Mat Rogers believes the star is being “set up to fail”.
Levi broke the record for tries in a single Olympics (14) at the Paris Games in 2024, before signing for Queensland Reds to be part of the 2025 Super Rugby season.
Injuries and sevens commitments prevented the star making her XVs debut, with head coach Jo Yapp saying it now “wouldn’t be fair” to throw her straight into a Test environment.
Ilona Maher, who has over eight million followers on social media, was also involved in Paris and won a bronze medal with the United States.
The 28-year-old has since spent three months at Bristol Bears and is hoping to make her first appearance for USA XVs since 2021 after being named in their player pool for 2025.
Helped by ‘Maher mania’, the world’s number nine side have sold more than 7,500 tickets for their Pacific Four Series opener with Canada on 3 May in Kansas City.

The Atlanta Falcons have apologised to Shedeur Sanders after their defensive co-ordinator’s son helped to prank call the young quarterback during the NFL Draft.
In video footage on social media, Sanders can be heard taking a call from someone purporting to be the New Orleans Saints’ general manager Mickey Loomis.
The caller tells Sanders the Saints will make him their next pick before saying that he is going to “have to wait a little bit longer”.
Sanders – whose father Deion began his storied NFL career with the Falcons – ended up being selected by the Cleveland Browns as the sixth pick of the fifth round and 144th overall.
“Earlier in the week, Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old son of defensive co-ordinator Jeff Ulbrich, unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number for Shedeur Sanders off an open iPad while visiting his parent’s home and wrote the number down to later conduct a prank call,” said a Falcons statement.
“Jeff Ulbrich was unaware of the data exposure or any facets of the prank and was made aware of the above only after the fact.
“The Atlanta Falcons do not condone this behaviour and send our sincere apologies to Shedeur Sanders and his family, who we have been in contact with to apologise to, as well as facilitate an apology directly from Jax to the Sanders family.
“We are thoroughly reviewing all protocols, and updating if necessary, to help prevent an incident like this from happening again.”
Jax Ulbrich also made an apology on social media, saying he had made a “tremendous mistake” and described what he did as “completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful”.
He added: “I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish.”
Sanders, who had been tipped to be one of the first picks, eventually became the sixth quarterback selected in the draft and the second by the Browns.
“It didn’t really have an impact on me,” said Sanders when asked about the prank call.
“I think of course it was a childish act, but everybody does childish things here and there.”
Sanders’ father Deion – who had a notable career during which he played cornerback in defence as well as a kick returner and wide receiver on offence – coached his son at Colorado.
