For Strictly week four, Hamza and Jowita will take to the dancefloor to perform a Salsa to 'Ecuador' by Sash! Following in the footsteps of countless amazing people including one of the people I look up to the most: Sir David Attenborough Who also received this award." Away from the screen, Hamza has largely opted to keep his private life out of the spotlight, meaning not much is known about his home life. "I really wanted to take part because anywhere you go in the UK, everybody knows about it [Strictly] and loves it," he said. Strictly Come Dancing will continue at 6.30pm on Saturday, October 15 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Hamza was born in Sudan before moving to the UK as a child. "Also because I am severely dyslexic, I really want to take this opportunity to show kids who are dyslexic that it’s not a hindrance, it’s a gift. However, among the line-up of familiar faces from the worlds of TV, music and radio is a somewhat lesser-known contestant in the form of wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin. He is also known for his work as a cameraman on programmes like Countryfile and Animal Park. But many may be wondering who Hamza Yassin is and what he does when he's not performing in the Strictly ballroom. Since then, together with professional dance partner Jowita Przystał, Hamza has won over viewers and impressed judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke with his development so far.
