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 BBC bosses have been overpaying staff by £1million a year, shocking figures reveal

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.

Russell Martin in frame for Rangers job with ex-Ibrox star viewed as serious contender by influential boardroom figures

4 days ago Blogs Comments Off on Russell Martin in frame for Rangers job with ex-Ibrox star viewed as serious contender by influential boardroom figures

RANGERS have confirmed Philippe Clement has been sacked after 16 months in the job.

Now we can reveal a former Gers defender is one of the names in the frame to take over.

SunSport were first to break the news on Sunday afternoon that the Belgian was on his way out of Ibrox.

Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to St Mirren was the final straw for directors with Clement finally told his time was up by chief executive Patrick Stewart.

We can now reveal former defender Russell Martin is one of the names in the frame to take over.

The ex-Southampton boss is currently out of work and it’s understood he’s regarded as a serious contender by influential boardroom figures who are involved in the ongoing takeover talks with US investors.

The bookies have installed Steven Gerrard as the favourite to make a sensational return.

But it’s believed the Liverpool legend – who guided Gers to the Premiership title in 2021 – may not believe the time is right.

The likelihood is that Ibrox chiefs will name a caretaker boss for Wednesday’s league clash with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park – with Under-18s coach Kevin Thomson and Clement’s No2 Issame Charai possibilities.

But Clement was informed of the club’s decision following behind-the-scenes talks throughout Saturday night and yesterday.

A statement released by the club last night confirmed: “Rangers Football club can confirm it has tonight parted company with men’s first-team manager, Philippe Clement.

“The club would like to put on record their sincere thanks to Philippe for his hard work and dedication during his spell in charge.

“A further update from the club will follow in due course.”

Gers will now be obliged to pay out a hefty severance deal to the 50 year-old Belgian and his backroom staff.

The club handed Clement a bumper new deal last August which meant he was due a big money pay-off if he was sacked.

The current board were hoping to avoid wielding the axe.

But a decision was made yesterday to part ways with Clement with fans demanding he was shown the door.

He survived after Gers crashed out of the Scottish Cup to Queen’s Park.

But Clement himself admitted the performance in the weekend defeat to St Mirren was an even worse display.

Asked about his future following that latest defeat – which has Gers 13 points behind rivals Celtic – he said: “Those are things the board needs to decide.

“In the end, I believe these players want to do the right things.

“I believe I can get results with these players.

“But I am also very disappointed with what we showed today – and I am responsible for that.

“Today was by far not the performance that we have seen in the past.

“It was by far the worst performance from my time here.

“It’s terribly disappointing, because we were so nervous on the ball and in the duels, in everything.

“I don’t know where it’s coming from.

“That’s my frustration and it’s also my responsibility to put a team on the pitch with the right mindset.

“I didn’t see this one coming, this nervousness, everyone below par, almost all game.

“There were a few better spells, but by far we were not what Rangers should be.

“I saw the team drifting apart in islands.

“That’s not been the case in the past, when we’ve had difficult moments and gone behind we have reacted as a team.

“Today, it was reacting one on one and not as a team.

“Then we don’t play the football we need to play and it’s a bad performance

“Leadership is an important one, but leadership is also a collective one.

“In the first place it’s my responsibility.”

Fat jabs warning as 82 deaths linked to weight loss drugs and expert warns, only take them if you REALLY need them

4 days ago Blogs Comments Off on Fat jabs warning as 82 deaths linked to weight loss drugs and expert warns, only take them if you REALLY need them

SOME 82 Brits have died after using weight-loss and diabetes jabs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.

The official figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency reveal the toll up to the end of January.

The disclosure comes as a Sun reporter paid £280 for four doses of Mounjaro without any checks.

Up to the end of January, 22 died after taking meds for weight loss, and another 60 for Type 2 diabetes, according to the official Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

MHRA chief safety officer Dr Alison Cave said professionals must always advise on whether they are necessary.

She added: “The decision to start, continue or stop treatments should be made jointly by patients and their doctor, based on full consideration of benefits and risks.”

An estimated half a million Brits take the drugs, with the total expected to double in a year.

Mounjaro, known as the King Kong of jabs, is to be rolled out on the NHS.

Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams said they can save the lives of people with “life-threatening levels of obesity”.

The NHS website warns: “Never take an anti-obesity medicine if it has not been prescribed to you. These types of medicines may not be safe for you and can cause serious side effects.”

The figures show 18 deaths were linked to Mounjaro – the brand name for tirzepatide.

Another 29 came after taking Ozempic, Rybelsus or Wegovy (also known as semaglutide).

Meanwhile, 35 Brits died after taking Saxenda and Victoza (liraglutide).

The drugs make users feel full, causing the body to burn fat.

It was revealed last year that Scots nurse Susan McGowan, 58, died after taking low-dose injections of Mounjaro over a fortnight.

A probe also found that nearly 400 people have gone to hospital after taking weight-loss drugs.

Side effects include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, leaving sufferers with severe dehydration.

But doctors say they have also seen “life-threatening complications”, including seizures, bowel obstruction and inflammation of the pancreas.

Model Lottie Moss, 27, says she had a seizure after taking high doses of Ozempic.

The makers of Mounjaro, Lilly UK, said patient safety is its “top priority”.

It added: “Regulatory agencies conduct extensive independent assessments of the benefits and risks of every new medicine and Lilly is committed to continually monitoring, evaluating, and reporting safety data.

“If anyone is experiencing side effects when taking any Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or other healthcare professional.”

Inside booming ‘fat jab’ black market as celeb stylist sells jab to Sun reporter for £280 despite deaths linked to drug

4 days ago Blogs Comments Off on Inside booming ‘fat jab’ black market as celeb stylist sells jab to Sun reporter for £280 despite deaths linked to drug

WEIGHT-loss drugs can be bought on the black market with no checks or consultation, The Sun has found.

We obtained self-injectable Mounjaro, dubbed the King Kong of fat jabs, for £280 after responding to a post by celeb hairdresser Ozzy Tudo.

Mounjaro is known as the ‘King Kong’ of slimming jabs[/caption]

He openly advertises the drug to 72,000 Instagram followers and promised our reporter she would shed at least one stone in two weeks, saying: “It’s magic.”

He advised a 5mg dose “is enough”.

Without being asked her height or BMI, our reporter met an assistant in North London who handed over the pen.

It holds four jabs, to be taken once a week for a month.

Tudo then sent a video on how to inject the drug.

We took the pens to Harley Street doctor Sophie Shotter who said: “This is a controlled, prescription-only drug. It is a UK-approved pen so has not been smuggled in.

“How has it got on the black market? If you came to me asking to go on a weight-loss drug, I’d say ‘No.’ It’s terrifying you’ve been able to buy it, and that you’ve been placed on a higher dose.”

Confronted about the illegal sale, filmed on hidden cameras, Tudo said: “I don’t even have Mounjaro here.”

Pressed on how he prescribed the drug — linked to dozens of deaths — without qualifications, he said: “Deaths? No. Just a few overdoses.”

Eating disorder charity Beat said: “We’re incredibly concerned that it’s so easy to access these injections. They cause severe side effects such as vomiting and nausea.

“And while it may bring down BMI in isolation, it will do nothing to address the root cause of an eating disorder.”

Mounjaro maker Lilly said: “These black-market products are often made in unsanitary conditions.

“They may contain wrong ingredients, no active ingredient at all, or other harmful ingredients. No one should ever risk putting them into their bodies.”

Everything you need to know about fat jabs

Weight loss jabs are a hot media topic at the moment, with hundreds of success stories from people who shed the pounds.

In March 2023, the NHS announced it would make Wegovy, a drug made by Danish firm Novo Nordisk, available on prescription to thousands of obese Brits.

It contains the drug semaglutide, which is said to have helped reality star Kim Kardashian and Twitter boss Elon Musk lose weight.

Wegovy, which helped a third of people reduce their weight by 20 per cent in trials, is now available from pharmacies like Boots.

How do they work?

The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less and therefore lose weight.

To do this, semaglutide mimics the role of a natural hormone, called GLP-1.

GLP-1 is part of the signalling pathway that tells your body you have eaten, and prepares it to use the energy that comes from your food.

London GP and founder of wellgoodwellbeing.com, Dr Zoe Watson, said: “Your body naturally produces an appetite regulating hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1.

“These jabs work by regulating your appetite, which can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight.”

Aren’t they diabetes drugs?

Semaglutide, the active drug in Wegovy, was originally sold under the name Ozempic specifically for diabetes patients.

But people started noticing it helped suppress their appetites, stopping them eating as much and helping them shed the pounds.

Novo Nordisk then developed Wegovy, which contains the same chemical but at higher doses specifically to aid weight loss.

Wegovy is not prescribed for diabetes patients.

Can I get them?

Wegovy is offered on prescription to obese adults given specialist weight loss treatment.

The NHS currently also offers a similar drug called Saxenda, or liraglutide.

Both are only available throught specialist weight management services, which means you have to be referred to clinics led by experts.

GPs can’t prescribe them on their own, Dr Watson said.

The jabs have to be taken as part of an overall programme to help with lifestyle changes and psychological support to get the best effect from the medication prescribed.

Are there any risks?

Like all medicines, the jabs do not come without side effects.

Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea.

Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at patient.info, said: “One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.”

Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia.

What other options are there?

Mounjaro (brand name for tirzepatide) also came onto the market in early 2024.

Like Wegovy, tirzepatide stems from a drug originally designed to treat diabetes.

The weekly injection helped overweight people drop more than two stone in 18 months.

It is available with to order with a prescription online from pharmacies including Superdrug and LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor.

It works in a similar way to Wegovy and Saxenda, but is more effective.

Dr Mitra Dutt from LloydsPharmacy says: “Based on clinical trials, 96 per cent of people were able to lose more than five per cent of their body fat using Mounjaro. In similar trials, 84 per cent of people lost more than five per cent of their body weight on Wegovy, and 60 per cent on Saxenda.

“Mounjaro works by activating two hormonal receptors (GIP and GLP-1), which enhance insulin production, improve insulin sensitivity, and work to decrease food intake.”
