Strictly Come Dancing fans divided as Hamza wins and Gorka 'looks fuming'

Hamza Yassin and his professional partner Jowita Przystal have been crowned winners of Strictly Come Dancing 2022.. However, the result has divided fans - with some saying the result was rigged..

And others have said that Gorka looked like he was '"fuming" when the result was announced. It comes after 32-year-old wildlife cameraman and presenter Hamza beat three other couples – Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, and Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez – to lift the glitterball trophy on Saturday. Some viewers were delighted with the result.

@thewisdomtooth tweeted: "Well done Hamza! You, Sir, have been a joy to watch on Strictly. Well done to all the finalists, all utterly brilliant!"

And Lorna Souter agreed, saying: "Delighted for @HamzaYassin3 and Jowita. They deserved that glitterball!"

As did Lee Michael, who said: "When Hamza performed his final dance tonight, he made me cry. He is genuinely the most lovely, humble human being. A worthy winner."

However @Andy068169993 fumed: "It was fixed Helen and Gorka should have won." And @dskiuk2 also thought the result was "rigged"

And @darryncxo also thought Hamza didn't deserve to win. They tweeted: "The winner tonight should have been Fleur or Helen... no mistakes were made and they performed every routine really well."

@Birdfeed1 said Hamza winning was a "travesty". They tweeted: "I’m just catching up on #Strictly and, much as I love Hamza, that is a travesty! Fleur was unreal!!"

"Loved them all but, on the night, Fleur was just so good!"

But @SJY_67 tweeted: "People getting annoyed over the dancing ability of the winner. Strictly is not a dance competition - it’s an entertainment show dressed up to look like a dance competition - if you don’t get that after 20 years you’re a glitter ball short of a ballroom."

Nonetheless, some viewers are convinced Gorka was fuming he and Helen were not the winners, after clocking his reaction. @GoziOkolo tweeted: "Oh my days, Gorka was FUMING! Well done Hamza Great final with some fantastic dances. "

And @thattheatretea1 tweeted: "Gorka robbed at another final he’s mega mega fuming."

And @hazeljah tweeted: "Oh dear Gorka, Vito showing you how you should lose gratiously and embrace the joy of the final and celebrating whoever wins."
