BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers give Hamza 'maximum votes' before spotting unfortunate blunder

Hamza Yassin had Strictly Come Dancing fans' votes before he even performed his first routine in the semi-final due to one specific detail. The wildlife cameraman was back in the ballroom as he went up against Molly Rainford, Helen Skelton, Fleur East and Will Mellor for a place in the 2022 final.

All the couples have had to perform two routines in Sunday night's show (December 11), which was moved due to the World Cup from its usual primetime Saturday night slot. During his first routine of the night, Hamza performed a Charleston to Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini with pro dancer Jowita Przystał.

The audience and judges were on their feet after the 32-year-old, who was sporting a tartan number, completed his Scottish-themed dance and he ended up scoring 39.
