Photographer Hamza Yassin, 32, and professional dancer Jowita Przystał, 28, stunned Strictly viewers with a sensational Salsa last week. After earning himself a place at the top of the leaderboard, many fans are trying to figure out details from the mysterious cameraman’s private life, away from his success on the telly.
The Scottish cameraman is best known for his CBeebies persona Ranger Hamza on the show Let’s Go For a Walk.
Hamza has made his fair share of appearances on other BBC favourites like Countryfile and Animal Park and has presented some Channel 4 shows too.
The Sudanese-born star has been on the public radar for a good few years, but very little is known about his personal life.
Hamza has never spoken about his family life, leaving many fans guessing over whether he is single or married.
However, the Strictly contestant may have hinted at having a wife in a cryptic post in 2017.
Hamza posted a photo of himself and a mystery woman out in the Scottish wilderness, holding her in a deadlift above his head.
The caption mysteriously read: “Find a wifey and up her up, and all year long you’ll get good luck!
“During the day a wildlife cameraman, by night a strongman!”
Although he did not name his lift partner, the pose will be eerily familiar for Strictly fans, as Hamza and Jowita impressed viewers with the same move last week.
It seems to be a favourite life for the “strongman” as in 2018, he took to Instagram to show off his “training” for the Highland Games, striking the same pose and, this time, with a little note: “Thank you Katie for volunteering to be the replacement log. Just remember not to giggle!”
Hamza’s sensational Salsa wowed the crowd and the judges, earning the dancing duo a standing ovation which included Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse.
They received a near-perfect 39 points, earning 10s from every judge except Craig Revel Horwood.
The notoriously tough judge gave the couple nine points, simply saying in his feedback: “Ah-may-zing.”
Talking to Claudia Winkleman, Hamza praised his Strictly partner, saying “she looks after me the whole time”, even reminding him to wear shoes each morning.
Jowita also revealed that the cameraman had been ill during the week, leaving them very little time to practice.
She shared: “What you’ve done with this little amount of time, you’re my king!”
Taking to Instagram after receiving the highest score of the series thus far, Hamza thanked his fans and his “fearless” partner.
He captioned a photo of the iconic lift with: “What-a-night! I would like to thank everyone who voted for Jowita Przystal and I to stay in this amazing competition.
“We appreciate all the love, support and the messages you guys have been sending us. So thank you very much.
“I would like to take the time and thank Jenny Thomas and Patrick Helm for helping us with this wonderful choreography.
“And finally Jowita; you are a magnificent, fearless strong woman and all the praise should really be directed at you. You are one of a kind! So thank you. Xx”
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight at 6.40pm on BBC One.
