Tasha Ghorui’s new boyfriend was in long term relationship with stunning photographer ‘just weeks before going public with the Strictly star’ and leaves pals ‘shocked’ as he quickly moves on

Tasha Ghouri’s new boyfriend Cam Whitnall was in a long term relationship just weeks before going public with the Strictly star.

The CBBC presenter and zoo owner, 29, has reportedly left pals ‘shocked’ after he was spotted packing on the PDA with the former Love Islander, 26, at Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place festival at Gunnersbury Park in London over the weekend – before heading off to Tuscany. 

Cam was previously dating stunning wildlife photographer Felicity Sutton, 34, for a year and together they shared a love of animals, with pals convinced at the time that ‘nothing’ could break the pair up. 

A source told The Sun: ‘It came as a surprise to everyone to see Cam with Tasha. He was so loved up with Felicity before’.

‘This time last year he was with Felicity on his birthday and it really looked like nothing would break them, but a year on he’s in Tuscany with Tasha for his big day. Everyone is bemused.

‘Felicity doesn’t have any hard feelings towards him as such, and she will always cherish their time together, it’s just a lot to see your ex in the limelight suddenly.’

Felitcity declined to comment. MailOnline have also contacted Cam’s representatives.

Cam – who has been dating Tasha since May – still features on his ex’s Instagram grid including snaps from their trip to Kenya last year where they enjoyed a safari.

As the pair both snapped photos of the local wildlife she wrote: ‘When you both love the same things #couplegoals.’ 

YouTuber Cam stars in CBBC series One Zoo Three and BBC show OZT Goes Wild alongside his brothers Ty and Aaron.

His family run Hertfordshire Zoo and he is the managing director of a non-profit charity, The Big Cat Sanctuary, which rescues wild cats and protects species at risk of extinction.

It comes after Tasha’s ex Andrew La Page launched into an explosive rant about her being on a dating app during their relationship.

Andrew claimed on Thursday night that Tasha was using the celebrity dating app Raya while still in a relationship with him and insisted he wanted to speak out after she had appeared on ‘one too many podcasts’ to speak about him.

Soon after they released a shock joint statement. 

A source said: ‘It came as a surprise to everyone to see Cam with Tasha. He was so loved up with Felicity before’.

In the statement shared with MailOnline, the former couple who met on Love Island in 2022, came together to address ‘hurtful comments’ in a move that took place after Andrew accused Tasha of not being able to ‘keep his name out of her mouth’.

The exes quickly put Andrew’s rant aside and come together to address the ‘noise’ around their relationship as Tasha admitted to ‘making mistakes’ during their romance. 

Both parties expressed their wish to ‘move on’ from the relationship after suffering ‘judgement and cruelty’ from online trolls.

Sharing her side of events, Tasha said: ‘I just want to address recent hurtful comments about me and & Andrew. We’ve always been open about who we are and what we went through, the hate and harsh words have been unfair and overwhelming for both of us.

‘No one deserves to be torn down, especially when they’re already trying to heal. We’ve both made mistakes, we’ve both learned, and we’ve both grown. But the judgement and cruelty we are facing from people online has been hard.

‘Please remember that behind every nasty post, every comment, every story, there are real people with real emotions. Always be kind.’

The new couple are currently enjoying a romantic trip to Tuscany, with Tasha sharing stunning snaps with followers

While Andrew added: ‘Tasha and I want to address the noise around our breakup, as there’s been hate going around that neither of us ever wanted. 

‘Things were said on both sides, but at the end of the day, no relationship is perfect, but ours still had some incredible moments I’ll always be grateful for. 

‘I truly just want us both to move on and be happy. Wishing Tasha nothing but the best, and I’ll always be proud of her.’

The statements came shortly after he hit back at the star after she claimed in a new interview he ‘wasn’t supporting her,’ before their shock split. 

The couple, who met on Love Island in 2022, split in January, with Tasha admitting she now regrets her treatment of him after they ‘grew apart’ during her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

Tasha, who has been deaf since birth and had a cochlear implant fitted at the age of five, appeared on the 2024 series of Strictly with pro partner Aljaž Škorjanec.

In an interview for Rylan Clark’s How To Be In Love, Tasha claimed their relationship was already starting to fray prior to her Strictly debut, with Andrew offering ‘no support’ as she progressed to the show’s latter stages.

But Andrew furiously hit back in a now-deleted post on Snapchat, where he accused Tasha of ‘talking s**t about him,’ before stating that Tasha had begun using the celebrity dating app Raya before their relationship was over.
