STRICTLY Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri has shared a first glimpse inside her new home.
The former Love Island reality star previously split from her co-star Andrew Le Page last month.
They called time on their relationship in January after three years together.
Tasha, 26, and Andrew, 29, first rose to fame on the eighth series of the hit ITV2 dating show back in 2022.
Their relationship was initially going strong after they finished in fourth place in the live final.
However, they later called it quits before it was reported that Tasha had grown close to a Strictly co-star.
Now, Tasha gave her fans a glimpse of her new home after the split with her ex.
She was seemingly in the mood for a lazy morning at home in bed as she took to her Instagram story.
Her legs were covered by a comfortable-looking grey throw as she tucked into a packet of Dorito chips with accompanying salsa.
A high-tech Apple laptop was positioned on her bed as boxes of belongings were stacked in the background.
Users would have also caught a glimpse of the stylish, neutral-coloured wallpaper and stylish-looking curtains.
The background also featured grand double French doors which were painted white with brass handles.
She captioned the snap: “The perfect Sunday,” alongside a white heart emoji.
This comes after Tasha previously faced backlash after she was accused of taking custody of their dog Luna away from Andrew.
However, she claimed that Andrew has temporarily moved into his parents’ home in Guernsey and are yet to figure out a full-time situation.
She wrote on Instagram: “Since there’s so many horrible messages I’ve got about taking Luna off Andrew—first off, she is our dog who we got together.
“He is in Guernsey & decided to leave Luna here with me as he couldn’t take her, it wasn’t ideal.
“When he’s found a place back in the UK, we will be working out a way for both of us to see her.”
BLUNDERING Beeb bosses have overpaid staff by £1million a year.
New figures showed the broadcaster accidentally overpaid workers by a staggering £4 million over the past four years.
More than 839 BBC staffers are now on a payment recovery plan, each owing an average of £1,700.
While those on monthly pay are seeing the cash knocked from future wages, the company has decided chasing up ex-staffers is too much hassle.
But the BBC, run by Director-General Tim Davie, has written off 492 cases over the past five years, costing licence fee-payers £522,000.
A BBC spokesman said: “Erroneous payments are rare and occur in 0.24 per cent of payments.”
They added, “When an overpayment does occur, every case is thoroughly pursued to either recover the money or to seek an alternative such as deductions from future work.”
Last year, the Global Payroll Association said one in ten office staff have been overpaid by their employer, with a quarter not reporting it.
The average advertised salary hit a record £41,000 last year but vacancies fell to a four-year low, a report said.
