Tasha Ghouri auditioned for Barbie

The 24-year-old pro dancer appeared on the ITV dating show last year but she was nearly swapping the villa for Hollywood after she auditioned for the new blockbuster - which stars Margot Robbie as the iconic Mattel doll - and found herself in the final round.

She told OK! magazine: "I got to the final round of the auditions to be a dancer in the film but unfortunately didn’t get the job.

"Filming was at the same time as 'Love Island' so everything does happen for a reason!"

Director Greta Gerwig recently explained why she only wanted dancers as her background actors in the movie.

She told Entertainment Weekly: "In soundstage musicals like ‘Oklahoma!’ or ‘Singin' in the Rain,’ there's a quality in the way people move.

"So all the Barbies and Kens you see on the beach [and other dance sequence settings] hold themselves differently.

"Our choreographer said dancers, their bodies always have a direction that's different [from] normal people."

Meanwhile, Tasha may have missed out but things certainly worked out as she ended up meeting boyfriend Andrew Le Page on the show.

She added to OK!: "We had our journey in the villa and it got us to where we are now. Communication is key between us both and we’re in a great place."

The loved up couple - who have a puppy together - are set to celebrate their first major relationship milestone, and they have some big "plans for the future".

She added: "We're about to celebrate our first anniversary and we have our first pup together!

"We have plans for the future with property developing and just growing together. I'm so thankful to have met him last year, he was the missing piece in my life."
