Strictly Come Dancing winner Hamza Yassin will return home to Scotland to a hero’s welcome – and a sparkling glitterball flag.
The custom-made banner matches the legendary trophy he lifted with partner Jowita Przystal in Saturday night’s final of the competition. Chris Gane, who Hamza calls “his Scottish father”, unveiled the amazing flag when the result was announced. Chris wrapped it around himself at Kilchoan community hall, where 80 adults and children watched their friend and neighbour lift the trophy.
The flag then featured in videos and selfies as the village in Ardnamurchan celebrated Hamza’s victory. Parties across the peninsula went on until 4am. It will now fly from the flagpole beside Kilchoan Community Centre where the villagers watched Strictly for the last 12 weeks.
