Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri was overcome with emotion as she was joined by her brother in the studio.
The Love Island star, 26, is battling it out for the coveted glitter ball trophy against JB Gill, Chris McCausland and Sarah Hadland.
After performing her Show Dance with Aljaž Škorjanec, Tasha received a perfect 40 from the judges. Tasha spoke to Claudia Winkleman and talked about the support she has received from her family.
She said: “My dad, my mom, Andrew. Thank you for supporting me. I’m so lucky to have such a great circle of people around me who really love me. They lift me up and keep me strong. They keep me keep me motivated.
“This is for them. And thanks to all the fans too who have supported us. Sincere thanks. I can’t thank everyone enough.”
Tasha was then asked about her brother, Alex, who she thought was in Australia.
“My brother. He’s in Australia right now, probably with all the kangaroos, having the time of his life. My brother is so supportive and I really miss him.”
Tasha added: “He can’t be here today but I miss him a lot.”
Claudia then revealed that Tasha’s brother wanted to see her dance before she welcomed him to the studio. Tasha was lost for words as she covered her mouth with her hands.
Alex and Tasha embraced as they in the studio began to well up. The presenter revealed that Alex had just landed and headed straight to the studio to watch her dance.
Asked what he thinks of his sister, Alex gushed: “She’s just, you can’t describe it. Watching your little sister dance and follow your dreams. You’re just so special.”
Tasha’s brother admitted he wouldn’t miss seeing her perform in the final for the world as the pair continued to hug.
Viewers flocked to social media to comment on the emotional reunion, with one writing: “Tasha’s brother surprised her in Chris and Dianne’s video oh my god I’m emotionally wrecked.”
Another agreed: “Tasha’s brother flying over set me off.”
A third exclaimed: “NOT TASHA’S BROTHER FLYING OVER FROM AUSTRALIA IM SNYTTER.”
