Tasha revealed that Andrew removes her cochlear implant for her at night.

The dancer, who was born deaf, made the revelation during her ‘declaration of love’ speech during tonight’s Love Island final, which saw the couple finish in fourth place.

Andrew echoed her comments, telling her: “The exact moment I fell in love with you was when you told me about your superpower. You have inspired so many and I l will love you forever.”

Tasha has sensory loss which means that the small hairs in the cochlear (inner ear) were missing and damaged when she was born.

She wears a cochlear implant and is very open about her hearing, revealing that many call her "inspirational" because she likes to talk about her disability and raise awareness of her condition.

Her dad Tarek has spoken about how her hearing impairment puts "extra pressure on her that the other Islanders don't have."

The proud dad described that while her cochlear implant was great to help her hear the "technology isn't perfect" because "it doesn't allow us to hear like we can hear each other."

"It's constantly got a little buzz to it, which Tasha said she can hear," he told The Sun in an exclusive chat.

"The other ear she can't hear anything. It isn't the holy grail.

"So because it's got a microphone at the front, if someone's talking behind her the chances are the sound waves aren't going to go around back and hit the front of this thing."

Tarek added: "She has to try and use all her senses and be alert all the time, which is really grating."
