A deaf Lanarkshire mum has praised Love Island for casting its first hearing-impaired contestant as she reflects on her own love story with her husband, who is also deaf. Cheryl Devine, 34, first locked eyes with her husband, Scott, at a young deaf club over a decade ago.
Romance soon blossomed and in 2011 Scott, 33, got down on one knee before the pair said 'I do' two years later. The lovebirds have two children together, aged eight and five.
Cheryl, from Motherwell, hailed ITV bosses for casting Tasha Ghouri in the 2022 Love Island series which airs on Monday night. Tasha, from Thirsk, Yorkshire, was born deaf and wears a cochlear implant. The model and dancer is the show's first ever deaf contestant.
