BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri breaks silence after Pete Wicks dance-off as she admits 'hardest thing'

Tasha Ghouri has broken her silence after facing Pete Wicks in the dance-off during Sunday night's results show (December 8). The former Love Island star has made it to the final of Strictly Come Dancing after being saved by the judges.

After performing two dances each in the semi-finals in a bid to secure their place in the grand final next week, Pete Wicks and his professional dance partner Jowita found themselves facing the dreaded dance-off for the first time against Tasha and her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

It was the second week in a row that the reality TV star, 26, had found herself in the bottom two and was forced to perform her routine once again in front of the judges, despite receiving a perfect score for their waltz during Saturday's live show.

Tasha and Aljaz danced their waltz to (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, while Pete and Jowita reprised their Argentine tango to Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve.

Following their performances, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke each chose to save Tasha and Aljaz, with Head Judge Shirley Ballas also agreeing and said she would have chose to save the pair.

As Pete and Jowita became the eleventh couple to leave Strictly's 20th-anniversary series on Sunday night (December 8), it meant that Tasha and Aljaz have now joined Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley and Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell as this year's four finalists.

Taking to Instagram to break her silence after facing the dance-off, Tasha told her 1.4 million followers: "WHAT A SEMI FINAL!! my goal on this show was to just make it
