Love Island and Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri has hit out at those who considered her to be the ‘worst dressed’ at the National Television Awards in a defiant post.

The 27-year-old took to the O2’s red carpet in a sheer, black corseted dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline. Despite the fabulous look, Tasha found herself defending the outfit on her Instagram earlier today after making The Mail’s ‘worst dressed stars’ list.

“Thank you SO much for all the love & support in the comments!! It truly means the world!” she said.

“But honestly it’s sad to see worst dressed lists still existing in 2025?! Fashion is meant to be FUN, bold, expressive, not something we get shamed for.

“Yes, I showed my legs. Yes, I owned it. That doesn’t make it ‘raunchy’. That makes me a confident, strong woman who wears what makes her feel powerful.”

She added: “Here’s to celebrating individuality & lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.

“Everyone looked incredible last night and as along as you felt beautiful who cares waht the F they think!”

Tasha took to the NTAs stage last night to accept the award for Best Talent Show for Strictly, alongside 2024 co-stars Pete Wicks, JB Gill, Sarah Hadland and others.

“It gives me a little bit of PTSD that theme tune,” Pete said, accepting the award. “But look, Strictly is one of the best things that I have done and as much as us guys are the ones dancing, it’s all about the crew and the people who work behind it.

“It’s a well-oiled machine and it just is a fabulous bunch of people. So from me, it’s all about them guys. Thank you to everyone who voted – now I’m going to hand you over to someone who actually made the final.”

JB Gill then went onto thank the judges as well as Chris McCausland and Diane Buswell who “made history” as last year’s winners. “Last but not least, thank you to all the viewers, all the people who voted for this incredible award. We absolutely love you.”

The biggest shock of the night was Ant and Dec losing the Best Presenter award after 24 years. Instead, Gary Lineker took home the award, breaking their winning streak.
