Now on it's eighth series, in a bid to be more inclusive, Love Island has announced it's first deaf contestant. Tasha Ghouri, at 23 years old is a model and dancer from North Yorkshire. Tasha, born completely deaf now wears a cochlear implant, which she says was fitted when she was 5 and has had years of speech therapy. We chat to Louise, from Woodbridge, she is a deaf person.
