Andrew Le Page has packed his bags and said goodbye to the UK.

The former Love Island contestant posted to Instagram on Friday ahead of boarding his flight to Dubai with the caption, ‘Dubai here I come. New start back in the sand pit’.

The influencer, 29, decided to relocate to Dubai following his recent breakup with Strictly’s Tasha Ghouri, 26. 

The couple started their relationship on Love Island in 2022 and shocked fans with their split earlier this year.  

The news followed Tasha’s recent revelation on Kate Thornton’s podcast that after the break up she ‘went into a cave’ and isolated herself away from friends and family.  

She told the host: ‘When the breakup happened, it actually kind of happened around the tour. I just remember pushing it back to my head.

 ‘I didn’t really deal with it that well, if I’m honest. When I was on the tour, the first week it kind of got leaked to the press. I didn’t have the control of how it happened. I remember it was just everywhere.

‘Everywhere I looked on social media, and everyone was messaging me saying, “what’s happened? What’s going on?” I remember I switched my phone off for about five days. I didn’t text anyone. I didn’t message anyone. 

‘My Mum drove four hours to come see me because I didn’t message anyone back. I went into a cave, and I was so scared to come out of that cave.’  

It comes after Andrew unfollowed Tasha on Instagram following her revelations about their split in her new book.

Andrew has appeared to take multiple swipes towards Tasha including a recent video which stated ‘In 2025 I will…’ with two possible options, one being move to Dubai and the other stating ‘be in a toxic relationship’. 

Another example was last week whilst answering a series of fan questions on Snapchat.

When asked how he dealt with the ‘different negative narratives’ surrounding their breakup, he hinted: ‘Let’s just say I’ve had to bite my tongue with all of it. Truth always comes out at some point right?’

Fans also asked whether he’d consider starting a podcast, saying his ‘voice should be heard,’ but he replied: ‘To be honest it’s not my thing. We’re done and I’m moving on.’

And now she has revealed on Kate Thornton’s podcast, White Wine Question Time, that their breakup happened during the show’s UK tour and admitted she closed herself off by turning her phone off (pictured with dance partner Alijaz Skorjanec in January)

Tasha recently revealed that ‘cracks began to appear’ in her relationship with Andrew during her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

Explaining what went wrong in her new book, she said the show meant they were spending less time together.

The reality star said she ‘knew it wasn’t right’ but declared it was hard to walk away from a relationship where she had considered marriage and children. 

She said: ‘I knew deep down it wasn’t right. There were a lot of tears and it was a really hard time. 

‘Andrew was the man I was going to marry. We had discussed having children.’

Addressing the split again last month, Tasha said she was the one to end the relationship with estate agent Andrew, and she is now looking forward to the next chapter of her life.

She told The Mirror: ‘It’s a new chapter. It’s a new beginning and it’s all about embracing that, and that’s what life is about.’

For Tasha, this new chapter involves continuing her dancing and modelling work, which are set to reach new heights after her Strictly success, her as well as her book.

While the exact reason for the split has not been publicly revealed, Tasha said a lot of things ‘went on behind the scenes’.

She said: ‘Break-ups happen in life. Just because ours is in the ‘public eye’ doesn’t make it any different.’

Tasha, who has raised awareness of deafness since appearing on Love Island, also addresses her disability in the book.

She said: ‘It’s a long process, but it’s really about having people out there, in other people to help them find their self-confidence with their disability.’
