BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri says she 'can't even put into words' in admission ahead of final

The former Love Island star and her professional dancer partner Aljaz Skorjanec were dealt a major blow as they had to fight for their place in the last week of the competition during the recent semi-final.

Viewers of the BBC One dance contest saw Tasha and Aljaz land in the bottom two for a second week in a row after performing twice during the latest live show in a bid to secure their place in the Strictly final this Saturday (December 14).
