Strictly's Hamza made 'panicked' goodbye to Jowita that viewers might have missed

Strictly Come Dancing 's Hamza Yassin made a 'panicked' goodbye to his partner Jowita Przystal last weekend.

The dancing show contestant appeared on Monday's Strictly - It Takes Two where he said he thought he was leaving the series.

He sat next to Jowita as he explained to host Rylan that he wasn't going to make it through to the next week.

Rylan questioned the cameraman about his 'farewell speech' during Sunday night's results show.

Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman read out who would be in the bottom two which ended up being Fleur East and Richie Anderson.

However, Hamza told Rylan that he believed it was his time to go on Sunday.

Rylan asked: "Was there a moment on that result show where you thought, 'I'm going to go home'?"

Hamza nodded as he agreed: "Yes, definitely. As everyone else gets called and they're safe and they're safe, and it was me and Richie. I leaned over to Jowita, and I was like, 'Thank you for everything'. You'll see it."

Rylan said it sounded 'like a farewell speech'.

Hamza admitted: "I was panicking. And I know they say it's in no particular order, but in your brain...there is something there."

During Movie Week Jowita and Hamza danced the Rumba to the Jurassic Park theme tune, which received mixed reviews.

Hamza admitted he 'liked the Rumba a lot' but Jowita said: "I think for the male celebrity, Rumba is a really hard dance, especially to do it on week three.

"It's crazy hard, but he took on board all of my tips. He improved his feet, which we were working on all week. I'm so proud of him because we took on board the comments from the judges on that second week. We put them into week three and we've got new things to improve and we are going to do it."

Shirley Ballas seemed to love the Movie Week routine but Craig Revel Horwood called the performance 'dull'.

Motsi said: "I noticed you're relaxing and I can see that you're enjoying yourself. Beautiful arms... finishing out the arms in the line, maybe there could have been a little bit more resistance so we have a little bit more volume, but this is going in the right direction."

Anton Du Beke said: "The problem is you get a bit safe so it looks a bit statuesque."

While Shirley said 'it was a simplistic routine'.

She commented: "It was a simplistic routine and for sure there is ease of movement by watching you.

"I think now what I would like to get is a little bit more space between you. I don't feel nervous when I watch you dance, you're in control."
