Now, Tasha is eager to bring her book to life by turning it into a Netflix movie.

She told The Sun: "I co-authored with Lizzie Huxley-Jones for the book Hits Different. It's about a girl called Cassie and she goes to Ibiza, it’s a very summery romance. It's a bit saucy!

"But the point is she finds her self-love. She's also deaf and wears a cochlear implant. She's on this journey and finds a guy who loves her for her, and truly who she is.

"So it’s a very warm message and educational, and that [disability] representation in books, which we don’t get often. So me and Lizzie brought that together. I’m very excited."

Tasha added: "I see it being a romance movie, like a Netflix film, they do those so well and I can see the book in that area. I think it would be that great representation to have a lead character with a cochlear implant.

"I’m doing what I’m doing, still working with brands and breaking through the barriers and boundaries.

"There are still quite a few people who want to tick the box and move on but it’s about keeping that momentum going. I want to keep trying to break that wall down."

Tasha had mentioned previously that she drew inspiration from her own experiences for her book, as she was of course a dancer before going to the villa, where she found love with Andrew Le Page.

She was born deaf and has had a cochlear implant, a small electronic device that allows wearers to process sound and speech, since she was five years old.

Tasha and Andrew moved in together just a few short months after leaving the villa.
