A poll has predicted a surprise runaway favourite to win BBC Strictly Come Dancing. A report by the Sun newspaper report found wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin, known for his role as Ranger Hamza on the children's television channel CBeebies, is the favourite to win.
Hollyoaks actor Will Mellor was chosen as the voters' second favourite to be crowned the winner, as reported by Birmingham Live. Viewers shared their reaction to the poll on social media, as the show heads towards its end.
Jax wrote: "I have actually loved that someone I assume people thought may be a joke act to be voted out early has turned out to be an amazing dancer and a lovely humble guy.

"He deserves his flowers, he is working really hard and is clearly a hit on the children's show he is on and we do need to prepare for life post Attenborough sad as that is to say." Fifi said: "I apologise for thinking he would be the joke act as he turned out to be a brilliant dancer and a lovely, kind hearted man. I hope Hamza wins, he deserves it."
Brizzle said: "I've seen him on a couple of nature programmes. He's a good communicator, seems like a nice genuine man and will make a great presenter." Illustrator said: "I think he’s a genuinely nice guy and has done some really good solid dances. We’re behind Ranger Hamza in our house!"
Davy said: "I am so torn between Hamza and Fleur, I love them both. I am kinda hoping Hamza, Fleur and Molly will be finalists. But I also hope Ellie S. Will make it far, she's just so awesome and Ellie and Nikita are great together"
"He’s definitely one of my favourites (along with Fleur and Ellie S). I’ve liked him on the last couple of series of Animal Park, he’s a talented cameraman and very knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife, and I love him now he’s on strictly. He comes across as such a nice young man, he loves animals and he can dance - of course he’s one of my favourites!" Wheel said.
Although not officially confirmed, it looks likely the Strictly finale will take place on Saturday, December 17.
