Strictly Come Dancing's Hamza Yassin has revealed his one stone weight loss after training for nine hours a day.
The presenter, 32, appeared on today's show, Wednesday 19 October, of Good Morning Britain with his professional dance partner Jowita Przystal, 28.
Speaking about his weight loss, Hamza told presenters Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid that he's lost eight and a half kilos, which equates to 1.3 stone.
Richard asked: "Is it an optical illusion or is there a lot less of you than there was when you started? You've lost weight."
Hamza then replied: "I have. I've lost eight and a half kilos."
"Woah that's nearly twenty pounds," Richard said.
Referring to Jowita, Hamza added: "All thanks to her. Nine hours a day we're trying to train. It's hard on the body, the knees and legs are hurting."
Hamza and Jowita's hard work has certainly been paying off as the pair achieved three scores of ten and one score of nine on Saturday 15 October night.
This caused them to top the leaderboard with a total score of 39 out of 40. The pair's performance consisted of a salsa to a remixed version of Ecuador by Sash.
Speaking about their scores, Hamza said: "I was flabbergasted really. I just wanted to finish the routine and do it correctly. You can see the excitement.
"We were talking beforehand, we don't really think of the scores much but we just wanted to finish it and do it correctly."
Jowita then explained that they were aiming for scores of six's due to them getting four fives the week before.
Many fans couldn't help but gush about how amazing Hamza and Jowita's performance was.
One person said: "Hamza is the pure definition on why I don't care about celebrity status on this show. Didn't know him a few weeks ago and now I think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread #Strictly."
A second wrote: "I’ve gone from 'who is Hamza' to 'would die for Hamza' in the space of a few very short weeks."
"The thing I love most about hamza is that he comes across as so shy and sweet but then he can go out on the dance floor and KILL IT. Obsessed with him #Strictly," another said.
A fourth user added: "Hamza and Jowita just blew the roof off. The best salsa imaginable."
And a fifth wrote: "OMG Hamza, the best thing I've ever seen!"
