TASHA Ghouri’s new boyfriend Cam Whitnall was in a long term relationship just weeks before he started dating her.
The YouTuber, 30, was with stunning wildlife photographer Felicity Sutton, 34, for over a year before calling it quits and moving on.
Insiders close to the former couple have revealed her ‘shock’ about his new very public romance.
They said: “It came as a surprise to everyone to see Cam with Tasha. He was so loved up with Felicity before.
“This time last year he was with Felicity on his birthday and it really looked like nothing would break them, but a year on he’s in Tuscany with Tasha for his big day. Everyone is bemused.
“Felicity doesn’t have any hard feelings towards him as such, and she will always cherish their time together, it’s just a lot to see your ex in the limelight suddenly.”
He is very ambitious, he is driven, he is caring.
Tasha talking about Cam
During their romance Felicity and Cam travelled the world together.
Last summer they went on safari in Kenya and Felicity shared a clip of them both taking pictures.
She captioned it: “When you both love the same things #couplegoals.”
Last month Felicity hinted at a difficult few months as she marked her birthday.
She wrote: “34 was a strange one — full of lessons, a bit of chaos, and some unexpected turns.
I’m heading into 35 quietly hopeful and starting it the best way I know how: with horses, friends, flowers and some fresh air.”
It was first revealed in May that Love Island and Strictly star Tasha was dating CBBC Cam.
The pair were photographed for the first time looking loved-up at Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place festival at Gunnersbury Park in London earlier this month.
The Sun revealed how Tasha’s romance with her Love Island boyfriend Andrew ended earlier this year - with her signing up to celebrity dating app Raya.
But last week Andrew accused Tasha of cheating on him and signing up to the app while they were still together.
His explosive comments came after Tasha opened up about finding love again on Rylan Clark’s BBC podcast, How To Be In Love, where she also said she wanted to reconnect with Andrew for closure.
Bitter split
In a statement posted on Instagram, Andrew said: “The truth is… she went on Raya while we were still together… oops.
“No one is perfect in a relationship but you keep talking s*** about me, I’ll start talking.
“She did one too many podcasts unfortunately. This is your closure chat.”
He later backed down and said in another statement: “Things were said on both sides, but at the end of the day, no relationship is perfect, but ours still had some incredible moments I’ll always be grateful for.”
Tasha's Dr Doolittle
Tasha opened up about her relationship with Cam, 30, last week, but refused to name him.
Speaking on Rylan’s podcast, she said: “I remember seeing the guy I am dating on TikTok.
“I remember thinking he’s got a really cool job, like Dr Doolittle.
“I slid into his DM’s and he was like, ‘Would you like to meet me for a drink now?’
“I was like, ‘Why not?’.”
Tasha, who competed on the last series of Strictly, added: "I thought you only live once.
“I went with an open mind and we clicked straight away. He is very ambitious, he is driven, he is caring.
“He’s got all these amazing attributes that made me go, ‘There is more I want to know about you.’
“And we’ve been enjoying our company and seeing what happens.”
Ambitious TV star
Cam’s mother, Lynn, is the CEO of Paradise Wildlife Park, now known as Hertfordshire Zoo, which Cam and his two brothers, Aaron and Tyler, are heavily involved in.
The trio created a TV series, One Zoo Three, for CBBC which followed them as they worked on the site.
Cam is also the managing director of Paradise Wildlife Park’s sister charity, The Big Cat Sanctuary.
Cam's rep and Felicity have been contacted for comment.
