Before shooting to fame Tasha, 25, was a professional dancer - which some Beeb viewers believe is an unfair advantage.
However, speaking to The Sun and other media, the star has defended her place in the ballroom.
Tashsa said: "When you’re in the studio, the glitterballs and the ballroom floor it’s like a whole new world.
"Commercial dance is very different to ballroom dance and latin, I’m still having to strip down and relearn, even walking in cha cha step is weird to me.

"Turning your feet out and leading with your hips, I’m having to relean muscle memory so that’s the hard part.
"Even letting a man take the lead is a lot."
Last week Tasha, along with the rest of this year's celeb lineup, recorded the Strictly Come Dancing launch show.
Meanwhile, this year's cast have broken their silence on the show's scandal ahead of the findings from the probe into under-fire Giovanni Pernice being released.
