Love Island is set to welcome its first deaf contestant to Natasha Ghouri, according to reports.
According to experts, the 23-year-old dancer is in the final lineup of the upcoming new series of the hit reality show ITV2 and joins people like male model Zach Hartman, who has also been rumored.
Natasha is wearing a cochlear implant that helps with her hearing loss and last year, she appeared in an Asos viral campaign that saw her showing her medical device in an in-ear ad.
Then he wrote, “MY HEART IS FULL NOW! Thank you so much for all your kind WOW messages. It may be just an ear, but it means so much more, like what @rnid_uk said performance matters, and I’m so proud to represent my community.
“The greatest love to @asos for welcoming me and breaking boundaries, as this will really help and inspire people.”
“Everyone is very excited to have Natasha on the show,” one privileged person said. “It’s really positive for young people to see it.”
The source added to The Sun: “She looks amazing in a bikini, has a great bubble personality and turns out to be deaf.”
The move comes after EastEnders deaf star Rose Ayling-Ellis, 27, won Strictly Come Dancing in December with dance partner Giovanni Pernice, 31.

Last year, Love Island saw physical education teacher Hugo Hammond become the first disabled contestant in the program to be born with an equivalent foot.
“I did about 20 correction operations before I was eight, so it was pretty heavy, pretty hard,” the 25-year-old said at the time.

‘It doesn’t really affect me too much, I’m very lucky. [If] I’m standing all day doing what I want to sit in the evening, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same for everyone, I obviously can’t compare. “
Love Island returns on Monday, June 6 at 9pm on ITV.
