Hamza Yassin has said that his biggest struggle on Strictly has been his lack of confidence and says that he still thinks he can't dance - despite making it to the final on Saturday.
The BBC wildlife cameraman, 32, has wowed viewers every week with his incredible routines and has won the hearts of the public with his sweet, easy-going personality.
Yet Hamza has admitted that he's "super nervous" and that he "didn't think he'd be here" still.
"I'm nervous [because] I didn't think I'd be here," he said. "I thought week one - get going! I didn't think I could dance, I still don't think I could dance."
"This is my problem every week," Jowita Przystał jumped in to say. "I will tell him, 'Oh, you're amazing' and then we go out on the night and he performs and we're standing an listening to the judges comments and then he says, 'Oh my gosh, Jowita, you were actually right! You told me I did it right!' and I was like, 'Yes, I did!'"
Quizzed by the Mirror about whether his lack of confidence on the show had been his main struggle throughout the series, he said: "Yeah, I would definitely say that because each week is a new doubt and I felt like I was back at square one again. You're learning a different hold or a different feeling.
"For some of it you have to act the dances. So confidence for me - I'm certainly out of my comfort zone. If you put me in front of a lion charging at me with a camera I'm like, 'Cool, I know what that's going to do and I'm confident there.
"Whereas here - I'm in clothes I would never normally wear, I'm doing stuff that I wouldn't normally do and I don't hear the music, believe it or not. I feel the music - well, if there's a rhythm I feel the music but Jowita will say, 'Go on the bit where it says...' and I'm like, 'I don't know!'
"So for me, confidence is a tough thing, but I feel like my dyslexia helps me out with my dancing so I have that to rely on. The 3D thinking of where we need to be and stuff, that's perfect."
However, Jowita insisted that Hamza has definitely become much better with his confidence.
"I hope that on this Saturday night, you're just going to go out there, have fun and have the best time because it's the last time," Jowita said.
Asked what it would mean to win the show, he said: "It would just be a dream come true. It would be like the icing on the cake, Christmas, Easter all mixed together.
"I can't give her anything in life that she can't get herself. The only thing that I can do my best is on the dancefloor and hopefully lift that Glitterball trophy."
*Strictly airs Saturday 17 December at 7.05pm on BBC One
