Love Island's Tasha Ghouri Shows Off Fit Figure "With a Cherry in Top"

Tasha Ghouri is heating up the beach in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Love Island star flaunts her incredible body in a cherry print bathing suit. “With a Cherry on top,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken in the Maldives. “OMG,” commented Millie Grace Court. “Unreal,” added Danica Taylor. How does the reality star stay fit? Here is everything you need to know about her approach to health and fitness.

1. She Dances

Tasha loves dance cardio so much, she has dreams to compete on Strictly Come Dancing. “It will happen, you have to believe in it!” she joked to OK! Magazine in a recent interview. “I think Strictly would be really interesting because its [dancing] styles I’ve never done before so it would be a challenge. So who knows!” Dance cardio is a great fitness form, as it helps build strength and promote flexibility, aids in weight loss, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

2. She Swims

Tasha, a “beach baby,” loves to swim, which is a great method of aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

3. She Lifts Weights

Tasha also lifts weights. Her personal trainer Joshua Kempton, another former Love Island contestant, told Women’s Health that Tasha trained four to five times a week doing a lower body workout. She focused on hamstrings and an upper body and core workout and also did a cardio day, a workout focusing on glutes, and another looking at the whole body. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

“Tasha’s goals were to get stronger and be the best version of herself both physically and mentally,” Josh told Women’s Health. “She’s got strong mobility and a disciplined mindset to progress with training,” he said.

5. She Eats Healthy

Tasha incorporates all food groups into her diet, says Josh, eating healthy most of the time but allowing herself occasional cheat meals. She also consumes a lot of protein to help with her intense workout sessions and eats carbohydrates to fuel her energy. “Without them, she’d never have sustained and recovered the workout routine we set together,” he told Women’s Health.

How does the Brit reality star maintain her body and beauty? Here are some of her secrets.

1. She Gets Botox

Jess is the owner of Candy Aesthetics, which offers fat dissolving treatments including fillers, Botox and Brazilian butt lifts. “Considering it’s my job I don’t actually have a lot done,” she told OK. “I think a lot of practitioners do have their whole face jabbed, but I do stick to the natural look. “I’ve had a little bit of Botox,” she admitted.

2. She Gained Weight at the Villa

In an Instagram Q&A Jess was asked if she lost weight while on the show. "No, I put weight on when I was in the villa,” she said. "We were just eating and not moving around, just sitting in the sun."

3. She’s Gotten a Non-Surgical Tummy Tucks

On TikTOk Jess revealed that she had undergone a non surgical tummy tuck, sharing a video of a belt and machine wrapped around her stomach. She also shared before and after photos.

4. She Gets Cheek, Chin, and Lip Filler

Jess also copped to having “just a bit of cheek and chin filler and lips,” during the Q&A. “I had my lips done, since I was 18 I had such little lips, but it started off getting a little bit in my cheeks, just because it gives off that nice contour, it just gives a structure to the face.”

5. She Celebrates Body Confidence

Jess is body confident. She recently launched a size inclusive clothing collection, In The Style X Jess Harding. “I literally can’t even tell you how much this means to me, not just because it’s an amazing opportunity but because it’s a dream to be able to create a collection that all you girls can look beautiful in no matter what shape or size,” she wrote in a post.

1. She Embraces Her Beauty

Ghouri makes a point of practicing self-confidence. “Even in the [Love Island] villa, I was still eating a good balanced diet, I was still having chocolate and sweets,” she says. “Honestly, [since] walking out, nothing's changed [with] how I feel about my body. I still feel confident in myself. I wouldn't say I felt pressured at all, but it's that thought of having that summer body. But you know what, it's not a big deal. Own your body, own what you've got. Show it off because that's what makes you beautiful.”

2. Optimizing Sleep

According to Ghouri’s personal trainer Joshua Kempton, the star focuses on getting enough sleep and handling stress in a healthy manner. "Tasha and I focused on optimizing sleep, managing stress, and listening to her body,” Kempton tells The Sun. “She’d do breathwork or read before sleep, and we always made sure to allocate long enough rest periods within each set of exercises.”

3. Protein and Carbs

According to Kempton, Ghouri followed a high-protein diet with plenty of healthy carbs included. "Without them, she’d never have sustained and recovered the workout routine we set together," he says. Kempton also made a point of making sure no food was called a “cheat” food, instead focusing on moderation with occasional treats.

4. Realistic Goals

Ghouri is determined to be the best version of herself possible instead of comparing herself with others. “Tasha’s goals were to get stronger and be the best version of herself both physically and mentally,” Kempton tells Women’s Health. “She’s got strong mobility and a disciplined mindset to progress with training. According to Kempton, Ghouri found the nutrition element challenging. “She struggled with it, but she was eager to learn, and she always adhered to my tips.”

5. She’s a Huge Foodie

Ghouri considers herself a huge foodie, and especially loves Italian food. “The fat sources in the Mediterranean diet include olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish, which are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids),” says Sanchari Sinha Dutta, PhD. “These healthy fats help reduce the level of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, as well as preventing systemic inflammation.”

2. She Drinks Coffee

You can also find Tanya sipping on a cup of coffee. Science continues to prove that drinking coffee is great for your health. In fact, a new 2022 study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death. Researchers found “significant reductions” in the risk for coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure and stroke for all three types of coffee. But, only ground and instant coffee with caffeine decreased risk for arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat.

3. She Has Vitiligo

Tanya is open about her skin pigmentation condition, Vitiligo. "You may not even notice it,” she said on the show. "It's on my lip and I have a stripe on my hair. Not many people know that but I think it’s quite cute. I don’t care about covering it up all the time, I think it’s a vibe."

4. She Is Nice But Will “Give It Back”

Tanya described herself on the show as "super nice" but warned not to mess with her – or else. "I want to be friends with everyone but if you’re gonna be cheeky I’m the sort of person that will give it back. I will bring good vibes and good energy,” she said.

5. She Dances

One way Tanya stays fit is by dancing. Her TikTok feed is filled with videos of herself showing off her moves. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Shaughna Phillips is sharing a body positive message – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island star shows off her gorgeous figure while opening up to her fans. “I’ve been meaning to post this for aaaagesssss, and I just kept chickening out which sounds ridiculous but it’s the truth,” she wrote. “This is not easy for me, it’s hard to just be yourself when social media can be SO cruel at times. Full disclosure, I’m not in the place I want to be physically, I have ‘baby weight’ to lose plus a bit more lol, but I’m not going to let my intrusive thoughts about how I look get in the way of me living my life,” she continued. “I really want to be the best role model I can be for Lucia, and I’m so determined that she won’t grow up with the same warped view on body image as I did, and that’s starts with me. I know it’s a bit late for New Year’s resolutions, but I’m sure we all have room for one more 🙋🏼‍♀️ Here’s to getting real in 2024, who wants to join me?” How does the reality star approach health and wellness? Celebwell has the details on her lifestyle habits.

1. She Took Drastic Measures to Slim Down for Love Island

Shaughna went to drastic measures to lose weight for the show, sharing about it in a 17-minute video on her YouTube channel. She wouldn’t allow herself to eat treats over the 2019 Christmas period and asked her colleague to "shame" her every time she tried to. “I think for me and the series that I was in, we had it the hardest... because the casting process was over Christmas,” she said. “Everyone and anyone indulges, but because we knew we were potentially going into the villa, I for one did not have one Quality Street that whole Christmas season... Now, that was a bad Christmas.”

2. She Worked Out 90 Minutes Every Night

She went to the gym for 90 minutes every evening and her routine was “very, very strict,” she said. “I would do 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill very fast at a high incline. I would do a few sets on the lat pulldown machine... and then I used to do a quick circuit on the mats. I used to use like free weights and stuff and that would literally be it every single day.”

3. Working Out Makes Her Feel Better

What motivates her to stay in shape? “Honestly? I become an anxious mess if I don't work out. It sounds cliche, and everyone always says, ‘Oh when you work out you feel better,’ but it’s actually true,” she told Bustle.

4. She Launched a Nutrition Plan

Shaughna launched her own fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle plan, Be You With Shaughna. “No before and after shots. No guaranteed ‘drop a dress size’ promises. No get fit quick plan,” she writes. “What my plan does include? Dedicated work to improve your mental health. Workouts that go at your pace. Nutritional advice aimed at encouraging your relationship with food, and not how to restrict your food.”

5. She’s an “Early Bird”

“I've always been an early bird. Ever since I was little, I've just always been up literally before the sun,” Shaughna told Bustle. “I don't like being rushed in the morning, so although I could probably easily get another hour in bed, I would rather just get up and start waking up gradually. These days, my normal morning routine starts at 6 a.m. I get up, make my breakfast, and have a cup of coffee, or tea, depending on my mood. I watch a little bit of TV before I head to workout at 8:30 a.m. I like to get it done and dusted because that way it means nothing like social media can impact my workout.”

6. She Takes Baths

“I'm definitely a bath girl. To the point where I miss having them in the summer because the last thing you want is to increase your body temperature,” Shaughna told Bustle. “When I used to go to the gym after work, in the days before Love Island, I remember the moments when I would see a text from my mum saying, ‘Your bath is running’ and it would literally feel like I’d won the lottery. Thinking about my bath is one thing I used to do to get me through the gym. Feeling that post-workout ache and being in the bath. There is nothing better! I've got to have a lot of bubbles, not bath salts – I can just feel the grains and it makes me feel like the water is dirty. Lots of candles. I like to have my hair up, out of my face, because I get very hot and bothered.”
