Tasha Ghouri, 27, the Love Island 2022 breakout who captivated viewers with her charm on the hit dating show, is reportedly signing on to BBC Two’s Pilgrimage, a pivot from her reality-television roots. The program follows a group of celebrities from diverse faiths and backgrounds as they undertake a spiritual journey along historic pilgrimage routes, and the season Ghouri is joining is the first to be filmed in England, set along the windswept Northumberland coast.
A source told The Sun that Ghouri’s casting is a deliberate departure from her Love Island image, noting that the show’s point is to bring together people with differing beliefs or no beliefs at all and to spark deeper conversations about worldview. The insider described the journey as one that challenges participants and can lead to meaningful discussions about faith and identity, with Northumberland’s coastline offering a stark contrast to the villa atmosphere fans associate with Ghouri.
The series, which has drawn viewers since its seven-year run, is known for tender, often lighthearted moments as celebrities navigate belief, culture and personal growth while walking historic routes. Producers have long positioned Pilgrimage as a format that blends travel, conversation and introspection, and this England-based season marks a notable geographical shift for the show. The insider suggested Ghouri’s involvement could serve as a lens into how people with varied backgrounds approach questions of faith when placed in unfamiliar settings, underscoring the program’s intention to spark dialogue rather than sermonize.
Ghouri’s public life has continued to unfold in the spotlight off screen. She celebrated turning 27 with a sun-soaked birthday trip to Barcelona after stepping away from Channel 4’s Celeb SAS, and has since found herself the subject of relationship chatter. Reports linked her with Cam Whitnall, a YouTuber who runs Hertfordshire Zoo and appears on CBBC series One Zoo Three and OZT Goes Wild. Whitnall’s past and current relationships have been the subject of tabloid coverage, including accounts from Daily Mail reporters.
Meanwhile, Ghouri’s exit from a prior relationship with Andrew Le Page has also drawn commentary in the media. Le Page publicly addressed claims about Ghouri’s use of dating apps during their relationship, prompting the pair to issue a joint statement aimed at moving past online scrutiny. The couple rose to fame on Love Island in 2022, and their breakup followed a year of high-profile headlines and social media noise as they navigated public attention.
Pilgrimage’s England-based season continues the show’s ongoing interest in how celebrities reconcile personal belief with public life. The format’s emphasis on dialogue and human connection, set against the physical and historical context of pilgrimage routes, remains at the core of the series as viewers watch participants reflect on faith, culture and self-discovery amid demanding travel.
