Strictly star Hamza can't wait for Scotland's home crowd roar

"Half the village is turning up [to the live show]," Hamza said. "One section of the audience is just going to be shouting like mad."

Hamza, 32, moved to Kilchoan, on the peninsula of Ardnamurchan beside the Sound of Mull in Lochaber, more than a decade ago and built his career as a photographer and documentary maker from there. Having moved to the UK when he was eight, he gained degrees in zoology with conservation and biological imaging and photography before going on to work on TV programmes including The Animal Park, CBeebies' Let's Go For A Walk and Countryfile.

Hamza and professional dancer Jowita said they were loving the Strictly tour so far and had wonderful memories from the TV show."When I met Hamza I saw that he'd got this, and he'd got the moves, and he'd the ability to actually go that far and win this show," she said. "I asked him for two things - trust and energy. He gave me much more and I think everything paid off.For Hamza it was a life-changing experience."It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was a roller coaster of emotions and I had the best person beside me shining the light the whole way through it and guiding me through."
