BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Hamza Yassin calls 'time out' as he's forced to defend himself over Jowita Przystal injury

Strictly Come Dancing star Hamza Yassin was quick to call a 'time out' in rehearsals as dance partner Jowita Przystał showed fans an injury she picked up during training for this weekend's routine. The couple, who are the highest-scoring couple of the BBC One series so far will be back in the ballroom on Saturday night.

Last weekend, Strictly returned to Blackpool for the first time in three years and the remaining couples got to perform their epic routines in the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Hamza and Jowita placed third after opening the special episode in sophisticated style by performing an elegant American smooth to New York, New York by Frank Sinatra.

But there's a change in attitude this weekend as the pair will be performing an Argentine Tango to Libertango by Bond. Taking to Instagram on Thursday evening, Jowita and Hamza chatted to fans as they reflected on their appearance on Loose Women before heading over to former Strictly pro Oti Mabuse's own dance studio.
